Carmelo Anthony has reportedly added the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder to his list of trade destinations.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Anthony, who holds a no-trade clause, added the Cavs after New York Knicks officials told the 10-time all-star that a deal could not be reached with his top choice, the Houston Rockets. This news comes after it was reported the Portland Trailblazers were an option by Anthony should a deal to Hoston fall through.
At the start of the NBA offseason, Anthony reportedly told the Knicks his choices were between the Cavs and Rockets, but following the trade of Kyrie Irving, Melo has slightly wavered on Cleveland. Melo would be joining his 2003 draftmate, Lebron James, should he accept a deal to the Cavs.
While many are gearing up for the possible team up with Anthony and James, the New York Knicks star also added the Oklahoma City Thunder to his list of landing spots. According to ESPN's Ian Begley, Anthony, who is an offensive powerhouse, reportedly would be open to joining Russell Westbrook and new acquisition Paul George in OKC. The Western Conference would have a serious problem trying to stop all three - any of whom can perform impressive offensive performances.
However, despite it looking like the Anthony era is dwindling in the Big Apple, if the Knicks are unsuccessful at finding suitable compensation, Melo is still signed for one more guaranteed year with the organization.
