Anthony and Porzingis were teammates for two seasons on the New York Knicks.

While they were a talented duo, the Knicks struggled and never reached the NBA playoffs in that span.

Anthony was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder following the 2016-17 season.

Porzingis finished up his first season in Boston with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.

He helped the Celtics finish with the best record in the NBA (64-18).

He has played nine seasons in the league and made the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.
