Sunday, November 11 was crazy for Carmelo Anthony and the Houston Rockets. Rumors swirled about how the Rockets planned to waive the 10-time All-Star, but they were promptly denied by GM Daryl Morey.
About an hour later, the Rockets played some of their best basketball of the season, defeating a solid Indiana Pacers team 115-103. The squad looked perfectly fine without Carmelo on the court, who was sidelined due to illness.
Some still think that Houston parting ways with Anthony should be a foregone conclusion, while others think that Morey and Mike D’antoni need to give Carmelo longer than 10 games played to prove his worth.
