After being traded to and subsequently waived by the Atlanta Hawks, reports indicate that ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony is going to sign a $2.4M veteran minimum contract with the Houston Rockets. The Rockets, of course, were one Chris Paul injury away from probably beating the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals this past season.
Melo’s career is in desperate need of revitalization after his one year experiment with Oklahoma City resulted in complete and utter failure as the Thunder did not even make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
However, if Twitter is to be believed, Melo’s career is already done and dusted.
As Twitter — and especially NBA Twitter — does, the trolls were out in full force after news broke that Melo was headed to Houston in pursuit of that ever-elusive championship ring.

With LeBron on the Lakers with the meme team, Melo in Houston with CP3 and Harden, the Thunder resigning Paul George and the Warriors signing Boogie Cousins, this year’s Western Conference race is shaping up to be an all-timer.
