Carmelo’s rumored destination early in the offseason was the Houston Rockets, and the Portland Trail Blazers had made some recent noise, but he will now join Paul George and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma to try and take down the Golden State Warriors.
Sam Presti has made over his roster this offseason. He traded Victor Oladipo, Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott, Dontas Sabonis, and a second-round pick for Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.
