甜瓜安东尼已抵达休斯顿并且完成了体检，与火箭队正式签约。随后，甜瓜写了一封亲笔信，对雷霆表达了自己的感激之情。原文如下：

Thank You, OKC

谢谢你，奥克拉荷马城

I know it was only one season, but from the time I arrived in OKC,I was greeted with so much love from The Team,The Organization,and of course the INCREDIBLE fans of this amazing city.

我知道虽然我在这里仅仅呆了一个赛季，但从我抵达这座神奇城市的那一刻，我受到了来自球队，俱乐部的热烈欢迎，当然，还有这里超棒的球迷。

Throughout the entire season, game after game, you cheered me on and rooted for us as a team. That is something I will always cherish and never forget. That genuine support kept me going all season long.

过去一整个赛季里，每一场比赛，你们为球队加油，也激励着我前进。我将永远珍惜和永远铭记这些。你们真诚的支持让我整个赛季都勇往直前。

IN LIFE, I've learned that things don't always turn out how you want. I wanted nothing more than to make it work here & help bring this city a championship. I'm sorry it didn't work out while I was here.

在生活中，我认识到事情并非往往如你所愿。我想做的只是努力发挥光热，为这座城市带来一个冠军奖杯。但我很抱歉，在这一年里，我没能做到。

安东尼

Thank you to Russ, PG, Sam Presti, Coach Billy Donovan, my trainers and the entire staff who work so hard and diligently¹ at Chesapeake Energy Arena² and the practice facility.

非常感谢威少、泡椒、普莱斯蒂、多诺万教练、我的训练师和所有的职员。感谢你们在切萨皮克能源球馆里和训练场上兢兢业业，努力工作。

I appreciate you all very much. Last but not least, Thank You to (Thunder part-owner and chairman) Mr. (Clay) Bennett for believing in me.

我真的非常感激你们。最后，感谢（雷霆队的股东和主席）本内特先生对我的信任。

This chapter of my career may be coming to an end but my story is far from over.

我职业生涯的这一章将走向尾声，但我的故事还将继续书写下去。
