The general consensus seems to be that the Philadelphia 76ers should not pursue the aging former All-Star Carmelo Anthony.
Some of the obvious reasons are Anthony’s general demeanor; his declining skill-set; his hefty price tag, and his lackluster defense—all of these issues are worthy of heavy contemplation.
But what if we could put aside at least the price tag and deal with the rest of it? Would this be worthy of pursuit by Philly?
I actually think so.
Now again, I want to stress, that Philadelphia cannot pay him anything near the price tag on Melo’s option.
