Carmelo Anthony might be starting to have eyes for a team other than the Houston Rockets. According to Fox Sports 1’s Jason McIntyre, while the New York Knicks star’s preference is to end up beside James Harden and Chris Paul, the Portland Trail Blazers are beginning to register on his radar: [tweet https://twitter.com/jasonrmcintyre/status/910908788986716160] This report comes on [...]

Michael Beasley has had an interesting and let’s be frank, highly disappointing NBA career for a player who was taken No.2 in the 2008 NBA Draft.
