The New York Knicks agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a draft pick, a person with knowledge of the deal said. A day after saying they expected their All-Star forward to be at training camp Monday, the Knicks finally found a trade they were seeking since last season. It puts Anthony into a loaded Oklahoma City lineup that includes NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and Paul George, who was acquired from Indiana this summer. Anthony will see his old teammates soon: The Knicks open the regular season at Oklahoma City on Oct. 19. He wouldn't have that in New York, where the Knicks are emphasizing youth and have little proven talent with which to surround Anthony.
