Melo is currently looking for his next team.
There has been a lot talk over the last few weeks about Carmelo Anthony and whether or not he will ever get to play in the NBA again. Some say Anthony can still provide fense for a team in need, while others think he is simply too selfish a player to put on an NBA roster right now. While both these things may be true, there is no denying that it would be sad to see a player like Melo be blacklisted from the league without a proper goodbye.
On today’s episode ESPN’s First Take, the panel spoke about Anthony and whether or not he is truly deserving a farewell tour like we saw from Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki. While most the panelists were on board with the ides, Stephen A. Smith was not. Usually, Smith is quite passionate about his takes but as a Knicks fan, you could tell he was sad about the words coming out his mouth.
Essentially, Smith believes Melo shouldn’t get a farewell tour because he hasn’t accomplished the same things as guys like Wade and Nowitzki. It’s an interesting take which will certainly be just as polarizing as Melo himself.
Where do you fall on this issue? Should Melo get another chance at the NBA or is he destined for the Big3?
