The rumors of Carmelo Anthony joining the Rockets are heating up, and they’re not just coming from NBA reporters looking for offseason fodder. Houston’s own Nene posted an image Monday that showed the Knicks forward in a Rockets uniform, saying in a caption that he “can’t wait” to reunite with his former Nuggets teammate.
Does Nene know something that we don't?
Nene subsequently deleted the post, but it only bolstered speculation that Anthony is, indeed, on his way to Houston. ESPN reported Monday that “the Knicks and Anthony feel good about the possibility of completing a deal that sends him out of New York.”
“The Rockets have been persistent in their pursuit of Anthony,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported, “who is willing to waive his no-trade clause to join [Chris] Paul and James Harden in Houston and the Knicks do not imagine a scenario where [Tim] Hardaway [Jr.] is sharing the floor with Anthony to start the season.”
