The Carmelo Anthony trade remains one of the biggest trades in NBA history.
The 2011 blockbuster finally ended the saga known as “Melo-drama,” sending Anthony from the Nuggets to the Knicks to form what was supposed to be a super-team with Amar’e Stoudemire.
The trade occurred just over six years ago, and with the NBA trade deadline drawing near, revisiting the deal remains fascinating. With so many changing parts — don’t forget, the Minnesota Timberwolves were involved in the trade, too! — it resonated throughout the league.
With the help of Pro Sports Transactions, we tracked down where all of the players and draft picks are today.
Carmelo Anthony, of course, was the centerpiece of the deal. He wanted to go to the Knicks and essentially forced the Knicks’ and the Nuggets’ hands into dealing him before the trade deadline.
