Melo, we hardly knew ye.
Carmelo Anthony's arrival last September in Oklahoma City was met with hoodies and hope and just a few hard feelings, given that the trade that landed him had involved fan favorite Enes Kanter.
Mostly, though, Anthony sparked optimism and a nickname. He, Russell Westbrook and Paul George would be the OK3, and Thunder fans envisioned a trio that might push Oklahoma City deep into the playoffs.
Instead, Anthony — whom the Thunder agreed on Thursday to trade to Atlanta as part of a three-team deal that will bring the Hawks' Dennis Schroder and Philadelphia's Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to OKC — proved a difficult fit.
