Like many people around the NBA, New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony couldn’t believe that Dwyane Wade actually decided to leave the Miami Heat and sign with the Chicago Bulls.

“I was shocked,” Anthony said before Thursday’s Team USA practice at the United Center. “I was shocked more from a standpoint it was just hard to see. It’s hard to see some players in different uniforms and he’s one of those guys who I never thought I would see in a different uniform other than Miami. But it happened, and I got a chance to talk to him and sit down with him and really dig deep about his feelings and what happened. He’s at peace now. And when he’s at peace, I’m at peace with it.”
