    It will be an interesting time sitting back and watching Cavs either move 'seamlessly' forward or back to the chill of the Heat days.

    How is the Harden, Paul and Irving dynamic going to work? He wants to be the man but Harden is significantly better then him and Paul is slightly better right now so he won't be the man here and losing Capela leaves us. So fragile upfront

    Report: Melo 'focused on' move to Rockets amid Irving trade rumors
    Victoria Nguyen Jul 22, 2017 11:13 AM
    Carmelo Anthony isn't trying to get aboard a sinking ship.

    The New York Knicks forward is reportedly ready to move on from his hometown team and would be willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Cleveland Cavaliers or Houston Rockets.

    A move to the former had gained much more traction lately - that is, until reports emerged Friday that Kyrie Irving asked the Cavaliers to trade him and named New York as a preferred destination.

    While the Knicks are believed to be discussing a deal that would send Anthony and future first-round picks to Cleveland, the 33-year-old is "focused on" going to Houston instead, a source told New York Daily News' Frank Isola late Friday.

    With his no-trade clause, Melo can veto a move to the Cavs and continue to push for a trade to the Rockets. He's so set on the move that he's reportedly open to waiving his $8-million trade kicker to help make it happen.

    It's not difficult to understand why he'd want to reunite with head coach Mike D'Antoni in Houston and play with fellow stars Chris Paul and James Harden, who recruited Anthony in Paris last month. The roster is expected to contend, even in the Wild West, which is more than can be said for the Cavaliers if they lose Irving and possibly LeBron James afterward.

    Related: Irving's exit would kick-start Cavs' downfall

    Complications, though, stem from Houston's lack of desirable assets to give up in a potential Melo trade. As such, the club has reportedly been working on a multi-team swap in order to land the 10-time All-Star.

    Related: Harden says Melo would help Rockets tremendously

    Anthony averaged 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists last season in the Big Apple. He has one guaranteed year left on his contract that will see him earn $26.2 million in 2017-18.

    He has the Rockets' full attention, and they apparently have his.

    Morey treats everyone as an asset. No way he wouldn't trade Harden for the best player in the world.

    If we trade Harden for LeBron I'm going to vomit.

    LeBron has like 2 good years left, Harden will easily have 5 worst at the minimum.

    Kyrie, T. Thompson and R. Anderson to Miami

    H. Whiteside and W. Ellington to Cleveland

    Dragic and (4 fillers from Rockets) to NY

    4 team trade.

    Cavs will sign D. Rose too.

    Crazy, that y'all don't want the best player in the world even if it's only for 2 years. Especially since CP3 is old. Lebron can actually bring a championship to Houston. I really don't think Harden can.

    I swear this is the most nerve racking off season I've been a part of as a rockets fan since I've been a fan in 30 years.

    That's just speculation though... he wants to play with Lebron not Kyrie. Plus he might actually like the idea of having a bigger role now that Kyrie is gone.

    Some of you guys are just getting a tad bit arrogant in regards to Melo

    If it isn't Woj, Shams, or Rocket legend Potato, I don't wanna hear it.
