Melo is in the stage of his career where its one mentality ; Go and get your ring.

Anthony, who is 38, averaged 13.3 points on 37.5% shooting from the 3-point line. He had a terrific start to the season, making 39.3% of his 3s in his first 51 games, but closed with a slump, shooting just 31.5% from the arc in his final 18 games.

Melo has been testing out the market as a free agent awaiting for teams to show interest. One team that can be a good fit would be none other then the Brooklyn Nets.

According to Heavy's Sean Deveney, he mentions in the article that the Brooklyn Nets could emerge as suitors,if they decide not to trade Kevin Durant.

There remain a couple of other possibilities for Anthony. The Knicks are most often mentioned, but one could be the Brooklyn Nets, if the team ultimately decides against trading Kevin Durant. Already, word is out that Kyrie Irving is willing to stay put and play in Brooklyn next season, and if the same happens with Durant, signing Anthony could be a way of making peace with the team's stars. Irving and Durant wanted the Nets to sign Anthony in 2019 when he was a free agent, but Brooklyn ultimately decided against it.

Could the signing of Melo and Kyrie's willingness to stay put, convince Kevin Durant to come back and give it another shot? Maybe. Although both KD and Kyrie vouched for Melo back in 2019, but Brooklyn did not end up signing him.

Golden State might be the better option for Melo, considering they have 12 roster spots filled. Would they give him a chance?

It would be a nice story, if he could win a ring there to end his career,» the GM said. «Golden State has the room for him. He can make shots and they can hide up his defense, which is one of the big problems with adding him. He'd take the minimum. They have a lot of young guys on that roster, they could do with another veteran and those guys all know Carmelo from Team USA. I do not know if they would really take that plunge on him, but it does make some sense.

Melo is the type of player who will excel with great players around him, who demand a lot of attention from opposing defences. With Steph and Klay on the court, Melos job will become much easier. Even at 38 years old, Melo can shoot with the best in the league.

Heres a recent video that dropped yesterday of Melo putting in work!
