Carmelo Anthony revealed that trades that would have sent him to Cleveland and Houston were “done” but he said they fell through. Anthony was ultimately traded to Oklahoma City.
During an interview Wednesday night with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Anthony said there was a trade in place that would have sent him to Cleveland on Draft Night along with Paul George in a massive blockbuster that “got called off.”
The particulars of the deal with Cleveland were unclear. But there were reports of a five-team trade involving the Knicks, Cavaliers, Pacers, Suns and Nuggets. The Cavaliers were close to acquiring George in another deal, but the Pacers backed out.
