F Carmelo Anthony said Thursday that potential trades involving

up with the Oklahoma City Thunder. "A deal was done with Houston
early, then for some reason, whatever happened behind the
scenes, it didn't go through," the 33-year-old Anthony told
SiriusXM Radio. "It fell through, then we had to really start
paying attention and thinking about other options." Anthony was
sent to Oklahoma City for center Enes Kanter, forward Doug
