GM Daryl Morey rejects reports that Rockets will cut Carmelo Anthony
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey refuted a report that forward Carmelo Anthony had been told he would not remain with the Rockets, saying he expects Anthony to remain in the rotation when healthy.
He said that Anthony wants to remain with the Rockets. Morey even called rumors and speculation about Anthony's future "unfair" and the reason he made himself available to the media on the topic.
He and Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni also left the door open for all that to change.
That might come with the territory of a 4-7 team that began the season with championship aspirations. Morey said "we're evaluating everything."
"I would expect Carmelo to be playing when he's healthy, yes."
