Carmelo Anthony is finally heading for Oklahoma in exchange for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 second-rounder.
The means another big three in Oklahoma Thunder: Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony and empowers even still more the Western Conference.
It is time to sum up Anthony seven year's legacy, which is somehow difficult to explain. Those seven years have been year of hope on start, frustration in the end.
His six-plus seasons in New York were filled with constant turnover. A half-dozen executives and coaches were hired and fired during Anthony's tenure. He had 72 different teammates in his past six seasons. That's the sixth-highest total in the NBA in that span and 10 more players than the NBA average.
The raw results during Anthony's Knicks tenure aren't pretty. New York never advanced past the second round of the playoffs, and the club missed the postseason entirely in each of the past four years. The Knicks finished 207-269 during Anthony's six full seasons and went 1-3 in playoff series.
But how much of that was Anthony's fault? Probably nobody can answer to that.
Of course, Anthony's detractors will point to his isolation-heavy style of play as a reason for the revolving door of executives, coaches and players.
People around the Knicks will always question whether Anthony did enough with the hand he was dealt. Now we will see what Carmelo is capable of within a strong time such as Oklahoma with the newly formed big three.
