The Carmelo Anthony experiment lasted 10 games in Houston. That alone should concern the Philadelphia 76ers, who are rumored to have interest. PhillyVoice’s Kyle Neubeck shot down the initial Melo-Sixers rumor, but it resurfaced today. It’s worth mentioning.
A clear Hall of the Fame talent, there’s no denying Melo’s legacy. He will go down as an all-time great scorer, with great college and international careers adding to his resume. That shouldn’t cloud your perspective when analyzing the current Melo.
Now 34, Anthony has lost whatever juice he possessed on defense. He’s also struggling on offense, looking out of place in Houston despite taking more threes and attempting to adjust to a smaller role.
