At media day, Anthony was very open about his feelings towards the tender and his new team. Anthony said he missed the feeling of winning and thinks that OKC is the perfect fit for him.
However, Anthony still thinks one more player should be added to the roster. Carmelo joked about getting Dwyane Wade to Oklahoma City.
