The Rockets have been linked to Anthony’s name 100 times in the last few months, and they are expected to be high on Anthony’s wish list this summer. Anthony is option 1B for the Rockets as they await word on LeBron James‘ plans.

Anthony averaged 27.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game this season. The 30-year old isn’t the best fit for the Rockets offense, but will certainly help this Rockets team more than hurting it. (Click here for more on why Anthony will help the Rockets).

LeBron James, Chris Bosh (another Rockets target), and Dwayne Wade have until June 30th to decide on their futures.
