The Rockets are absolutely making a mistake in wanting to acquire Anthony; if they get him they can forget about a championship. Anthony is a team killer and proven loser.
Over 20 million for 4-15 shooting per night...? He'd make Houston worse and Chris Paul would ship him out after a short time once it's clear he's a mistake, forget a friendship.
Unless he will play for a building team, off the bench, for a veteran's minimum, Carmelo should tuck his tale and retire!
