“Come on man, he just got into the (Oklahoma) Hall of Fame,” Anthony told the New York Daily News. “He’s a big part of Oklahoma. Not just from a basketball standpoint but from an economic standpoint and a business standpoint. He’s a major part of what goes on out here.”
Anthony knows a thing or two about being a highly sought free agent. The 30-year-old forward flirted with the Bulls, Rockets, Lakers and Mavericks before re-signing with the Knicks for more money before the 2014-15 season.
Which is why Anthony said he can relate to Durant.
“As much as we say we try not to think about it and not worry about it there comes a time when you do have to think about those things. Maybe not when we come to the arena but when you’re home you think about it. For him I think it’s more about trying to get healthy,” Anthony said. “I know he’s not worried about free agency.”
