NBA Update


The Carmelo Anthony saga continues in New York this week as the all-star pushes for a trade to the Houston Rockets. The rockets have not made an offer to the New York Knicks that they would accept, mainly because they insist on trading Ryan Anderson, an overpriced veteran that doesn’t fit in with the Knick’s timeline and has 3 years and over $60 million remaining on his contract.

Reports have surfaced that if Carmelo Anthony does not secure a trade to Houston by this weekend, he will entertain an offer to Portland, possibly to make the Houston Rockets up their current offer or so he can go to Portland and get out of New York. Portland would be the second-best option for Carmelo, but even that is better than wasting another year of his prime in New York.
