Carmelo Anthony has had a somewhat of a rough year. The endless rumors of him cheating on Layla and not being signed to a NBA roster have been two of the main headlines dealing with him thus far. Most people thought that he would of signed with the Lakers and play with his best friend Lebron James. However; it seems as though the Lakers has passed on signing Melo leaving him to try and figure another way back into the league.
Former teammate of Melo’s, Chauncey Billups had an interview about a month ago and stated that Melo cared about the wrong things and wasn’t really a team player. That seems to be the narrative that’s keeping him from being signed so far. Damian Lillard responded to a fan that suggested the Blazers sign Melo. He tweeted in response, “We Don’t Have Money, But Melo Should Be Playing”. Most players seem to respect what Melo has to offer moreso than owners and Gm’s.
Carmelo will probably be signed by the time the season starts. It’s moreso just a matter of what he’s willing to sacrifice. He could maybe go back to the Knicks? Maybe Lebron can convince the front office to sign his buddy? All we know at the moment is Melo is hopping with J Cole and other NBA players looking like his old self. Hopefully, someone contending for a ring will take a chance on the veteran so he can go out on a high note for his hall of fame career.
