Last Tuesday, Carmelo Anthony verbally agreed to sign a deal with the Rockets, according to Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania. For the Rockets, it was a big step in what has been a painfully slow process to acquire the forward.
According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, Anthony has been on the NBA Africa trip since July 23, which has prevented him from inking an official deal with Houston even though he was cut from Atlanta over a week ago.
Anthony isn’t an official Rocket yet, but many of the players have already given their thoughts on how he fits with the team.
