The Houston Rockets ended the speculation on Thursday, announcing the team will no longer play forward Carmelo Anthony and will look to excise him from their roster at some point in the near future. Given his scoring pedigree, the Brooklyn Nets will likely do their due diligence and see if he’s a potential fit.
The Rockets signed the 10-time All-Star in August to a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum of $2.4 million after Anthony was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Atlanta Hawks, who bought out the remaining one year and $25.
