>Melo is ready, he’s been ready….He could help MANY teams. Also to anyone that says @carmeloanthony isn’t in the league bcuz of defense….well….he had the best defensive rating of his career last season
Looks like Melo wants to play another year in the league. Just nobody has signed him yet.
Also, “the best defense of Melo’s career,” isn’t the shining endorsement you think it is, Brickley.

He’ll get signed to a contender (including Nets/Lakers) after an injury
Stay Me7o
Best defensive rating lol
That’s sad. Lots of worse players in the league than Melo
Someone sign him please. He deserves to be on a team when he decides to retire. I would drop Pippen Jr, give Matt Ryan the two-way and sign Melo as an end of bench offensive spark.
Blazers need a scorer off the bench
Brad pls, make the Celtics stacked from 1 to 15
I’ll nut myself if Philly signs him and he shows up on day 1 in a hoodie
I still think that he’ll sign with the Suns
“…the best defense of his career.”
Reminds me of a story…
I had a math teacher in HS who was “quiet quitting” before it became a buzzword.
While waking into class one day, one of our classmates excitedly asked, “Mr. Mathbee, Mr. Mathbee – did you grade the tests? What did I get?”
Without missing a beat our teacher responded with, “Well Paul, you got the best you ever got – a 56.” Followed by him cackling in Paul’s face.
Lebron had the worst defensive rating of his career. More than cancels anything good Melo did on that end.
I know a lot of vets are being phased out but melo should still be in the league at the very least the lakers should have brought him back
Melo definitely deserves a spot. Based on his performance last year, he’s an above average bench player imo. If he’s your 8th/9th man, you’re in a good spot imo.
Using defensive rating as an individual stat in 2022, jesus fucking christ
He’s ass
Can the Cs get him
melo scores 10 and gives up 20, old ass
Literally false.
Did he think higher the better?

Blazers legend Carmelo Anthony should come home.
defensive rating only matter when it’s jokic duh
He does know that’s now how defensive rating works, right?
Better late then never.
Honestly though, if now he’s gonna try to help his team on D it’s kind of depressing he didn’t do it earlier, when it mattered,
Chris Brickley trying to earn that sweet Melo money
Sign him Cuban.
He was playing pretty well last season ngl. He should definitely be on a team
Defensive rating not meaning much as a stat tho? And, as far as defensive ratings go, 114 may be his best, but it’s not exactly good. But yeah, he can make shots.
Cavs should bring him in IMO
I’m not against stats, I make my living from it. But defensive stats are close to meaningless.
If we look to move Randle, bringing Melo back until he retires as backup would be amazing
He seemed like a shithead last year in LA, but I’d take him as shooting off the bench. We don’t have much depth at the 4.
That being said we also don’t have any open roster spots.
“From the makers of “Ben Simmons fixed his jumper” comes the latest installment of the hit series: “Melo Needs A Job”.
He’s not good enough to help any true contenders and he’s too old for non contending teams.
He’s done. Been done for 4-5 years
Melo is ready, he’s been ready…. for CBA
help many teams do what?
Maybe the Suns?
Their bench is a dumpster fire right now and he can play with his buddy CP3.
The fact this dude made NBA 75 still pisses me off
Every time Melo played in the closing minutes of a tight game, Lakers lost. Terrible shot selection and non existent Defense.
Every damn time.
