Anthony averaged 16.2 points on 40 percent shooting last season, both of those being career-lows. Anthony is already being linked to both the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets because of his friendships with LeBron James and Chris Paul, respectively. Houston now has an opening at small forward after Trevor Ariza signed with the Phoenix Suns, although Anthony’s history with Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni is not all rosy dating to their time together with the Knicks. D’Antoni went 121-167 as Knicks coach, leaving in 2012 about a year after the team acquired Anthony. In an ESPN article, D’Antoni wrote that “Anthony said the team needed to choose between him and D’Antoni.”Good explanation of how OKC can save $ by stretching Melo via @BobbyMarks42 pic.twitter.com/UuUv0HN0Ap
