Carmelo never left a dollar on the table and it is possible now he will get his ring by signing with the Rockets. He is going to be in the mix for a championship which is all you can ask for at this point of his care.
Melo brilliantly opted into his $27.9 million contract with Thunder, forcing them to trade him to Hawk so they could get out of luxury tax debt. Hawks did the move for strictly business purposes and just released Melo and will pay the bulk of his contract. The amount they won’t ($2.4 million) the Rockets will pay when he signs his contract with them.
