Not sure how I feel about this but...

quote:

The Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans are among the teams interested in Carmelo Anthony should the Houston Rockets waive him, according to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer.

Also, veteran NBA insider Chris Sheridan wrote that the Philadelphia 76ers are also “kicking the tires” on the idea of adding Anthony, and Sean Deveney of the Sporting News reported the Miami Heat may be another.

I mean whatever we’re doing now is not really working so I don’t see the harm trying something this early in the season

Plenty of time to cut bait if he’s as useless as he’s been so far

I think the harm I worry about is you are inevitably the fallback team after Melo flamed out on two expecting contenders and you will have him in the ear of AD, possibly as a bitter/disgruntled but still respected NBA veteran.

And honestly the one thing Melo was possibly going to be good at that carried him through his twilight was being a catch and shoot guy, taking on that Olympic role and humbling himself, and he is currently shooting 31% in that role on the Rockets. While still not playing defense, and don't we have Miller for that role? Arguably doing it better?

Fortunately he’d go to either one of those teams before Nola.

Injuries? Are you talking about injuries not working? Cause that’s the only thing that would make sense

No we arent. That's just speculation.

According to @WillGuillory, the Pelicans have directly denied having any interest in Carmelo - I'd go with what he reported, personally.

Kevin O'Connor didn't present it simply as pure speculation, he presented it as what he had heard as some of the interested teams as a guest on The Ringer podcast.

Rarely do we see leaks to beat writers or others from inside the Pels, so I have no problem taking it with a grain of salt, but to say what the Pels are up to one way or another is just as absurd. For instance when it initially broke about teams looking to trade for Butler, we weren't ever really in the conversation, turns out we got pretty deep into it with them even though we never seemed to crop up much in the press as a central trading partner.

The only scenario I see Melo getting signed here is if we trade Niko. And hell maybe Diallo too.

Dealing Deal is just driving the price up so he can make another move elsewhere.

Supposedly Dell inquired, but Gentry said Hell No.
