It’s only been a little over two weeks since New York Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony announced his retirement, and fans are already dreaming about what it’d be like to see him play again. The 39-year-old was a free agent for the entirety of the 2022-23 season after spending the 2021-22 season in Los Angeles with LeBron James.
Melo had been linked to teams like the Nets and the Suns in part thanks to Kevin Durant, who said after being traded to Phoenix that Anthony deserved to be in the NBA. Nothing ever came of the rumors, though, and Melo ultimately chose to step away from the game.
