NBA Free Agency: 5 possible destinations for Carmelo Anthony as a Free Agent

#4 Oklahoma City Thunder

Will 'Hoodie Melo' make a return?

The Thunder are looking to either trade him in the next 7-10 days or to stretch out his contract and buy him out, essentially saving themselves $107 million in salary and taxes. But all of this is just heavily reported.

If Sam Presti is convinced that Carmelo Anthony is indeed going to become the missing piece in the puzzle that is the Thunder, he could very well keep him. Don't forget that Anthony is a former All-Star, leading the Nuggets and the Knicks all alone. He very well might be the 3rd choice at Oklahoma, but he still has that passion and as we saw in bits and pieces, the same talent.
