The Carmelo Anthony experiment in Houston was short-lived. Twelve games into the season, with the Houston Rockets underperforming expectations, General Manager Darryl Morey decided to yank the plug. With Anthony’s camp searching for a new basketball home, the Toronto Raptors should stay far away.
To be fair to Anthony, he wasn’t the reason for the Rockets early-season failures. The team has been banged up, James Harden looks out of shape (and is not finishing at the rim), and a year after leading the NBA in three-point makes, Houston ranks just 25th in three-point percentage.
