Sources: Carmelo Anthony Expected to Join New Team Before Trade Deadline
Carmelo Anthony’s NBA career might not be over after all.
According to two sources with knowledge of Anthony’s situation, the exiled 10-time All-Star who remains on the Houston Rockets roster has multiple options available and is expected to pick one before the Feb. 7 trade deadline. There is no clarity as to whether he would be traded in these scenarios or waived and subsequently signed, but there are strong signs that he will play in the NBA again. Anthony signed with the Rockets on a $2.4 million, one-year minimum deal in mid-August.
Last we saw Anthony, his short-lived Rockets career was coming to a close with the most ironic and brutal of shooting slumps. It was Nov. 8 in Oklahoma City, inside that same Chesapeake Energy Arena where his Thunder experience had gone awry the season before and where the Rockets would fall, 98-80, in Game No. 10 of their rocky regular season.
