In the 10 games he appeared in with Houston, Carmelo Anthony averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 40.5 percent from the floor, 32.8 percent from beyond the arc and 68.2 percent from the free-throw line.
The downfall of Carmelo Anthony has been hard to watch. After his last days with the New York Knicks were a disaster, the Knicks traded Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the summer of 2017 for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 2nd round draft pick.
Anthony, teamed up with star point guard Russell Westbrook and swingman Paul George in OKC, was expected to play a positive role with the Thunder and help the team win a championship. However, Melo was ineffective in OKC, as he averaged just 16.2 points per game and shot only 40.4 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Carmelo Anthony didn't stay in OKC for that long. The Thunder traded the 10-time All-Star to the Atlanta Hawks, and then the Hawks waived him, allowing him to sign with the Rockets and join his pals Chris Paul and James Harden.
Anthony lasted just 10 games in Houston before the Rockets decided it wasn't going to work out. It will be interesting to see where Melo ends up next.
