Carmelo Anthony will be in the same position as Dwyane Wade was when he was bought out by the Chicago Bulls last season. Where he can save a good team a lot of money due to the buyout. After deciding to return to OKC this season, the Thunder are in a position where they can trade the former superstar or just buy him out and save nearly $100M over the next couple of seasons.
Anthony can sign a veteran’s minimum contract and save a contending team a lot of cap space. Early indications have pointed to Carmelo Anthony joining a team contending for a championship due to his knack to score and shoot from the outside.
Carmelo Anthony averaged 16.2 points, and 5.8 rebounds per game, on 40.4% shooting from the field for the Thunder.
