Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade get no-trade clauses in new contracts

Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade became the fifth and sixth players in the NBA to receive no-trade clauses in their contracts, reports ESPN.com's Marc Stein. 

Anthony re-signed with the New York Knicks for five years and $124 million, after considering leaving for the Chicago Bulls or Los Angeles Lakers in free agency. Wade opted out of the two years and $42 million remaining on his contract with the Miami Heat, before re-signing for two years and $31.1 million, with a player option for the second year. 

Anthony and Wade join Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett as the players in the NBA with full no-trade clauses. Garnett's clause carried over after he approved a trade from the Boston Celtics to the Brooklyn Nets last summer.
