NBA Trade Grades: Knicks send Carmelo Anthony to Thunder

The New York Knicks are finally moving Carmelo Anthony, agreeing to send him to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Here are NBA Trade Grades for both sides.

Apparently Friday’s Troy Daniels trade was just a skimpy appetizer to prepare us for the final course of the summer.

Early Saturday morning, the last expected blockbuster deal was completed, as the Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks were finally able to part ways.

As first reported by ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks have agreed to send Melo to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a deal that will be finalized with an official call to the league office on Monday.

In return, Woj reports the Knicks will be receiving Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 second round pick from the Chicago Bulls.

In a summer full of star players changing hands, it’s not surprising to see Anthony finally on the move, especially with a potentially awkward Media Day awaiting on Monday. However, now that the deed is finally done, how did the Knicks and the Thunder fare in the exchange?

To sort it out, here are NBA Trade Grades for both sides.
