My colleague Mike Bossetti recently jumped into the “Should we or shouldn’t we?” discussion with respect to the imminent departure of Carmelo Anthony from the Houston Rockets. I completely agree with Mike: the Toronto Raptors should stay totally away from ‘Melo. The man seems to bring trouble wherever he goes these days, and he’s playing old tapes of Glory Days in his head. He’s not a difference-maker any more.
In the spirit of considering troubled players, the Philadelphia 76ers seem completely perplexed with point guard Markelle Fultz. I don’t blame them, and even if I had any suggestions about how to fix his badly broken shot, I wouldn’t share them.
