This summer, the Houston Rockets finally landed Carmelo Anthony after pursuing the star forward for years. Everyone knew that this wasn’t the same Anthony from five or so years ago, but it was hard to turn down acquiring a scorer of his caliber for a veteran’s minimum contract.
Unfortunately, Houston’s experiment didn’t go as planned with Anthony. The Rockets started the season just 4-6 and Houston decided to part ways with Carmelo after he shot 1-for-11 in an embarrassing defeat against the Thunder.
Anthony averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds on 32.8 percent shooting from 3-point range.
