HOUSTON – Sometimes, things aren't exactly what they seem to be.

Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks forward who has been at the center of rumors for most of his career, was in Houston on Thursday.

It does not appear that the stop was business-centric.

'Melo was spotted at George Bush Intercontinental Airport around 10 a.m.

His flight left New York around 7 a.m., according to his luggage tag.

Also on the luggage tag is what appears to be 'Melo's final destination: SJD.

For those who are not familiar with SJD, it is the Los Cabos International Airport in Mexico.

Houston would seem to have been a stop for 'Melo to catch his connecting flight to the destination city.

After signing guard Chris Paul, formerly with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Rockets have been rumored to be searching for another splash signing this offseason.

'Melo's name has been one of many to come up when talking about those signings.
