NEW YORK (AP) - A person with knowledge of the deal says the New York Knicks have agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Knicks will get Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a draft pick.

Anthony will see his old teammates soon: The Knicks open the regular season at Oklahoma City on Oct. 19.
