The Thunder would need to make a trade to partner up Anthony with NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and recent addition Paul George in Oklahoma.

Anthony currently has a no-trade clause in his current contract with the Knicks but would reportedly waive it if he was keen on a move.

According to reports the Thunder would need to give up a big money contract in the likes of Adams or Enes Kanter to pull off the trade.

In November Adams signed a US$100m four-year deal with the Thunder. Kanter signed a four-year, $70m deal in July 2015.
