The panorama of Carmelo Anthony’s career is not the best for the 2022-23 season, since despite the fact that he has shown that he still has a lot to contribute, he has not yet defined in which team he could play his twentieth season in the NBA.
Here are 4 teams where Anthony could work well, both for his role and his low cost.
Last season Anthony was one of the high points of the Lakers’ second unit, even having to come to the rescue as an offensive figure in several games in the absence of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. There would not be much interest from the board, but he is not ruled out.
The Warriors’ salary situation is far from the best, as they’re not only well over the salary cap, but they need to add pieces to their depth. Similar to how they have used veteran players throughout the dynasty, Kerr could count on “Melo” as an alternative.
Carmelo’s return to the Knicks is something that has been speculated in recent years, but so far it has not entered the New York team’s plans. For the new campaign he could add experience and scoring from the bench, it will depend on the team’s management.
One of the teams that would be most interested in “Melo” are the Celtics, since due to Danilo Gallinari’s injury they were left without an experienced triplet for the role of small forward or power forward. Under a minimum contract Anthony is a more than ideal asset for Boston.
