Carmelo Anthony says he will come off the bench when he will feel ready to take that role

Carmelo Anthony said that he is not willing to come off the bench next season when he will wear the jersey of the Rockets.

Anthony said Wednesday, per Jemele Hill of The Undefeated:

"I know how to play this game of basketball. I've been playing it for a long time. When I feel like I'm ready to take that role, then I'll take that role. Only I know when it's best for me to take that role. I'm not going to do that in a situation where I still know my capabilities and what I can do. And at the end of the day, the people who really matter know my capabilities and what I can still do. You start getting to the media and debates, it's going to always be kind of back-and-forth."
