Oklahoma's interesting and crazy stats that could play a huge role this new season.
Oklahoma City Thunder have got yet another NBA star in Carmelo Anthony. Sam Presti this summer has been really effective for his team, and has turned Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a second-round pick into Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.
This team dreams big, dreams championships for the upcoming years, and MorningNBA brings you all of the information and the stats that are interesting to note before the start of the new season.New York has agreed to a deal to send Carmelo Anthony to OKC for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a draft pick, league sources tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 23, 2017

Moreover, secondly, Carmelo Anthony and Paul George could help shoulder some of the load when ‘The Brodie’ needs a breather next season, because this was an issue last season. When Russell Westbrook was off the floor last season, Enes Kanter was scoring, Victor Oladipo had the more drives to the basket and Semaj Christon the most minutes.
Finally, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook and Paul George, have 20 combined All-Star appearances which is more than some other notable NBA trios.
