Carmelo Anthony is still trying to find his way back onto an NBA roster for next season. The former New York Knicks legend reportedly floated the idea of playing for Team USA this summer but was shot down. The 2019 FIBA World Cup would have been an opportunity for Melo to market himself to prospective teams.
Following Team USA’s quarterfinal ouster at the hands of the French, the world tried to figure out how the Americans fell apart. Marcus Morris believes USA Basketball could have used Melo.
