The case for signing Carmelo Anthony to play for an NBA team isn’t great.
There’s been a lot of drama surrounding the former Knick who played just 10 games with the Houston Rockets before the team sent him home, traded him and he was waived by the Chicago Bulls.
But as our Charles Curtis says, someone should sign him even if the analytics indicate he’s a defensive liability. It would require Anthony to become an off-the-bench deep shooter who could exploit mismatches against smaller defenders, which doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch when we’ve seen him do that for Team USA at the Olympics.
