The Houston Rockets have officially parted ways with Carmelo Anthony. In a statement released by the Houston Rockets, Morey says the fit the team envisioned has "not materialized."

“After much internal discussion, the Rockets will be parting ways with Carmelo Anthony and we are working toward a resolution,” said Morey.  “Carmelo had a tremendous approach during his time with the Rockets and accepted every role head coach Mike D’Antoni gave him. The fit we envisioned when Carmelo chose to sign with the Rockets has not materialized, therefore we thought it was best to move on as any other outcome would have been unfair to him.”

Not only did Anthony struggle on the defensive end, he struggled offensively going only 4-20 and scoring only 10 points in his last two games as a Rocket. His agents are actively looking for new opportunities for the future Hall of Famer.

Houston Texans shake up first round with trade back move

There’s been plenty of buzz about the Texans making moves during this year’s draft, and they didn’t waste any time proving it true.

Just hours before the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off, Houston has pulled off a trade with the Cleveland Browns.

Houston is sending a 2025 5th round pick and a 2027 5th round pick to Cleveland in exchange for two 2025 6th round picks and one 2025 7th round selection.

While it's no certainty, it sure seems the Texans are trying to acquire as much capital as possible in the 2025 Draft to help them maneuver up and down the board over the next three days.

Texans GM Nick Caserio has a reputation as a wheeler and dealer, and this year is clearly no exception.

Will the Texans use this capital to move up in the first round? We're about to find out!

Go Texans!
