In late September 2017, Carmelo Anthony was traded from the New York Knicks to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After about 10 months with the Thunder, Anthony was on his way out after the two sides agreed to part ways. The 10-time All-Star said, "it wasn't a good fit" with the team and that "Everything was just so rushed" to help get him acclimated with Russell Westbrook and Paul George last season.
Following what was statistically the worst season of his career, Anthony was traded to the Hawks in a three-team deal, only to get immediately waived so he could join the Rockets on a one-year deal.
