Welcome to Down to Dunk. I'm Andrew Schlecht. We've already recorded a Friday podcast. Some of you may have already listened to it. But since then, there was a story put out by Royce Young and Adrian Wojianowski about Carmelo Anthony. And so we've talked about this a lot. So this is not like a new subject. There's nothing new about

this. It's just that it's official. Carmelo Anthony wants out. We talked about it earlier this week that I just

would be really surprised if he's back and he's not going to be. And so now the Thunder have some

options and it could be that they trade him. Some options would be to trade him to a team like Atlanta

who could give you back Kent Baysmore

and then you could not have quite as much money on your books

and Atlanta could absorb the rest of his deal and buy him out

and then he could go play for the Rockets who somehow,

they still have interest, which is is it's a little baffling

to me maybe they think they can just do do it better like you can be better with them and maybe

can be I don't know but everything that I saw just is like he's Ryan Anderson except for he likes

to post up and call for the ball and yells the F word and people pour water on him.

You know, I mean, I just don't, I don't know.

I don't know how much better than Ryan Anderson he's going to be.

And he wants to play and he wants to start and he wants to play big minutes.

And if you're trying to win a title, he seems to be something more of a roadblock than he is helping you get there.

Maybe that changes in a different system, different coach.

I don't know.

He's already played for Mike Dan and Tony.

Didn't go real well the first time.

I don't know.

I don't completely get it.
