Carmelo Anthony is officially a Houston Rockets player. The former Oklahoma City Thunder player has signed a one-year contract to earn $ 2.4 million.

It has also been rumored for the role that Melo will have on the pitch if he is to start the match in the first five or jewelery, but everything will depend on Mike D’Antoni’s coach. D’Antoni himself when asked by some journalists about this issue said Anthony is open to both roles.

This deal has been rumored to have been over for more than a month, and with Thunder’s swap with Atlanta Hawks everything seemed to be confirmed, as Hawks removed the player from the team by paying $ 25 million.

In 1054 games played in the career, Melo has started in each of them, and for this reason in the past had stated that he was not sure if he could accept to enter the match.

The 34-year-old is joining a team like the Rockets, who last season won 65 games while losing to the final of the conference against the Golden State Warriors champions. In the group he will find the MVP of the 2017-2018 championship James Harden and one of his best friends, organizer Chris Paul./Flashsport24
