It was no Suprise , that when earlier this summer Carmelo Anthony opted into his $28 million deal with the OKC Thunder , as their was no way, that he was going to leave that money on the table. However, after his disappointing 2018 season, the OKC Thunder , the Thunder are ready to part ways with the 10 time all-star, who is clearly past his prime. After acquiring Carmelo, from his hometown team the New York Knicks in a trade.OKC was hoping that Anthony would be able to do big things ,with Russel Westbrook, and PaulGeorge ,but he didn't, and it was all for naught, as the team underperformed during the regular season, and that got beat by a young Utah Jazz team in the first round of the playoffs. Carmelo, requested a trade from the Knicks last summer because he wanted to go to a winning situation, butobviously,ythat wasn't the case. The Thunder will buyout, waive, or trade Melo later this summer.
For all Knicks fans hoping for a reunion, that will not happen as it doesn't work with the Knicks cap situation, as the Knicks are poised to land some superstars in 2019 free agency.
THE LAKERS, HEAT, AND ROCKETS are interested in Melo. OKC will save $100M
TONY PARKER GOES TO CHARLOTTE?
After spending 17 years with the Spurs, Tony Parker , for some reason decided to sign a 2 year $10M deal with the Charlotte Hornets, and had a "Emotional talk" with Spurs longtime coach, Greg Popovich.
Tony willmpair with fellow frenchman Nicolas Batum, and all star Kemba Walker as well.
IS THIS THE END OF THE SPURS ERA?:
Yes , it seems like the Spurs era is over , 5 championships in 20 years , and they have never missed the playoffs, in the last 20 years. It also might seem the end of Greg Popvich's coaching era as well.
It's time for a rebuild , it's time to move on, the Spurs will rock the cellar coming soon.
KAWHI UPDATE:
It doesn't seem like Lenord wants to play with LeBron James, as he changed his preference to the Los Angeles Clippers.
MY THOUGHTS:
ON Melo I saw that one coming, but I had my doubts of this happening, with George, and Grant going back to OKC. I think Carmelo Anthony swill go to the Rockets , because he is very close to Chris Paul and it's better for his money situation.
ON TONY:
I was actually laughing when I saw that, don't get me wrong Parker is one of the greats and will most likely barring anything crazy, he will be in the hall of fame, but it was just so hard to picture him in another jersey , and the Hornets ? I hope he comes out and says why he went to the Hornets , but in his defense , the Hornets are a mediocre team , but can be beat in the eastern conference.
ON Kawhi:
I hope he works it out with LeBRon, from an NBA fan perspective , we need someone to acutlly challenge the Warriors.
LEFTOVERS:
