It has been a long time coming for the Houston Rockets and Carmelo Anthony. After some news today, it seems like the long saga might just about be over…finally.
Last summer, the second half of free agency was all about trying to acquire Melo from the New York Knicks. In the end, the Rockets didn’t have the assets required to trade for the then-star. He instead went to Oklahoma City, where he ended up not fitting very well.
Now this summer, it is the Thunder who were looking for trade partners for Melo. They want his large salary off of their books and Melo wants to be in a place where his talents are better utilized, unlike OKC.
