The free-agent recruiting process is a rapidly evolving business. After reports emerged that Carmelo Anthony could be sent from the New York Knicks to the Houston Rockets, it was only a matter of time before someone on the Rockets roster spoke up.
Though it wasn't franchise superstar James Harden or newly acquired point guard Chris Paul doing the bidding, center Nene Hilario took to Instagram in support of a trade that would send Anthony to Houston. The veteran has since deleted the post off his account.
Nene and Anthony played together in Denver from 2003-2011.
