The last half-decade has seen Anthony hop to a handful of teams, including a nearly year-long hiatus when he was out of the league. The period of upheaval started with a trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder just before the start of the 2017-18 season. “I loved Carmelo,” said Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan, who coached Anthony in OKC. “He was great to work with. I think that it was a really, really hard situation for all of us because the trade for him happened the day before training camp.”
