The Rockets were considered the favorite all along to sign Anthony, but the process took a while with him being traded to the Atlanta Hawks and then having to clear waivers. While players like Chris Paul have made it clear that they want Carmelo as a teammate, oddsmakers seem to think the Rockets are making a mistake.
