Who cares?
Won’t matter. Anthony will be second banana to Westbrook like Durant was. Different people, same outcome.
Knicks the winners here. Two starters and send OKC a headache a very talented one, but a headache nonetheless.
Two starters? I don’t think McDermott has ever been a starter. Kantner is an outstanding player on the offensive end, but a bad defender, and his contract is pretty high for a guy who was tough to keep on the floor in the playoffs because of his defense. (The Knicks might not have to worry about that.)
Don’t know much about B ball :)
Link most sports, it’s going down hill.
Carmelo Anthony would have been a much better player if he had had three or four years in college.
Anthony is a cancer on any team his ass lands on.
Hard to believe Billy Donovan signed off on this.
