Report: Thunder expected to part ways with Carmelo Anthony
According to Adrian Wojnarowski and Royce Young of ESPN, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carmelo Anthony "will part ways this summer, likely saving team over $100M."
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%.
