Forbes calls Carmelo Anthony most overpaid in NBA; Malachi Richardson named in trade rumors

If Carmelo Anthony cares what people think about him it wasn't a very good week.

This week Anthony failed to make the All-Star Game, a rarity in his career, and Forbes named him the most overpaid player in the NBA.

Forbes wrote: "Carmelo Anthony has the 12th-highest salary in the NBA ... yet in our analysis through Jan. 19, he was actually on pace to produce minus-1.3 wins. That is, our analysis shows that the Oklahoma City Thunder would have been better off by not playing him at all."

Despite adding Anthony and Paul George, the Thunder are currently fifth in the Western Conference.
