What It Means:

With the Thunder looking at a massive $310 million payroll and luxury tax bill, they will end their brief partnership with Anthony this summer, which could save them up to $100 million. They will reportedly work with Anthony's agent on an "exit through trade, the NBA's stretch provision, or a combined buyout and stretch."

Anthony is coming off a disappointing 2017-18 season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting just 40.4%.
