James Harden optimistic about teaming with Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony

The Houston Rockets all seem optimistic about adding Carmelo Anthony to their roster.

Melo was traded by Oklahoma City to Atlanta and is expected to join the Rockets for the veteran’s minimum when everything is finalized. Though Melo did not work out with the Thunder, James Harden believes he will fit in nicely in Houston.

At USA Basketball camp on Thursday, Harden called Anthony “gifted and talented” and said the forward has a lot more to go.

Anthony can still score just as Harden says, but his movement and defense are questionable now that he’s 34 and aging. That’s why limiting his minutes probably makes the most sense. Would Anthony agree to that sort of role? That will be a big question. For now, it’s not even conclusive that adding Anthony will even make the Rockets a better team.
