OKC Thunder Rumor: Bench role for Carmelo Anthony in Houston?

Talk about a Woj Bomb! ESPN Adrian Wojnarowski is known for breaking news well ahead of his counterparts. Generally it’s about trades or free agent signings. But, today’s ESPN column is a little different. The premise of the column is former OKC Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony is expected to sign with the Houston Rockets today.

Yet, the true news isn’t the signing. Rather, it’s the revelation Anthony is expected to play a reserve role. Surprising, not because that isn’t the perfect fit for the star who is entering his 15th season. But, because of how adamant Anthony was about still being a top end contributor.
