Carmelo Anthony is Atlanta bound — for now.
The Thunder have traded the star forward and a protected 2022 first-round pick to the Hawks for point guard Dennis Schroder and Mike Muscala, ESPN reported Thursday, citing league sources.
The report noted that Anthony will get his entire $27.9 million in the buyout and waiver with the Hawks. The Rockets are expected to be his primary suitor in free agency.
Anthony, 34, was selected by the Nuggets with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 draft and spent nearly eight seasons in Denver before he was dealt to New York in February 2011. He was then traded from the Knicks to Oklahoma City in September 2017.
The 10-time All-Star hit just 40.2 percent of his shots and averaged a career-low 16.2 points last season.
