If Carmelo Anthony returns to the Oklahoma City Thunder next season -- and that sounds like a bigger "if" than previously thought after his exit interview Saturday -- it will not be in a bench role.

"Yeah, I'm not sacrificing no bench role," Anthony said. "That's out of the question."

So obviously he's trying to say that he doesn't want a bench role, but that's not what this implies.

This isn't his fault.

The media has sucked his dick for 15 years now.

You can't win with this guy but he thinks he's one of the most important players in the league.

Billy D needs to tell Melo that he is 100% coming off the bench next year in hopes that Melo opts out

There's zero chance Melo leaves that much money on the table. He will opt in and then get bought out some time next year imo

Agree with whomever said the dude is dead-weight, selfish garbage.

Always has been.

Gonna be pissed if he makes the HOF, which he most assuredly will.

He absolutely deserves it. Won a NCAA championship, 3 Olympic gold medals. He's the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for the US Olympic Team.

And besides score a lot...what has he done in the NB-fricking-A?

I mean...he plays zero defense.


Not gonna bother to look it up...has he even been in the 2nd round?

Olympics? LOFL

you understand its the basketball HOF and not the NBA hall of fame right? and even then, 10x all star and 6x all nba with a scoring championship mixed in is nothing to scoff at

Yes, I know it is the basketball HOF and that is why I conceded that he is a lock because of 'Cuse and Olympics.

Name one player that he has made better?

Hell...even Queen James routinely takes garbage to The Finals.

Carmelo was subtraction by addition for OKC.

Just a lazy ball hog...a stat collector and a check collector. He was perfect for the Knicks.

Between using 'sacrificing' wrong and the double negative he accidentally ended up saying what he meant to say, technically

He's NOT giving up NOT having a bench role
