Add James Harden to the list of players who would support Carmelo Anthony signing with the Rockets.

Anthony reportedly was traded Thursday from the Thunder to the Hawks, but he is expected to be waived and become a free agent. It was reported earlier this week that the 10-time All-Star has been telling his friends that he expects to join Houston. And it appears Harden approves of the possibility of Anthony joining the Rockets.

"It would be a great acquisition for us," Harden said, via Houston Chronicle. "Melo's a proven vet. He just wants to win at this point, so it would be great for him to be on our team. The current roster we have now, we've got good guys back and we keep making forward progress."

Chris Paul has also been pushing for the Rockets to acquire Anthony, according to Yahoo Sports' Jordan Shultz.

Multiple reports have surfaced indicating that the Rockets are considered the front-runners to sign Anthony, especially with Paul having some influence on Houston's front office. Anthony is also considering the Heat, per ESPN.

Anthony is expected to still receive the full $27.9 million he's owed for next season in the buyout with the Hawks.

In his first and only season with the Thunder, Anthony averaged 16.2 points while shooting 40.4 percent in a reduced role in Oklahoma City.
