When Carmelo Anthony becomes a free agent this offseason, he will receive interest from at least the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat.

The Rockets have interest in trading for Anthony last offseason but were unable to agree upon a deal.

Multiple sources said Mike D'Antoni would be fine with the Rockets signing Anthony despite their issues working together with the New York Knicks.

The Lakers and Rockets are considered more likely landing spots for Anthony than the Heat.

Anthony and the Oklahoma City Thunder are working on parting ways.

1) Is he a net negative player at this point?
2) Why would Miami want him? They got KO at PF and a lot of money committed to him (center already clogged with whiteside and Adebayo. Then you got Winslow and Richardson at small forward with winslow playing some small ball pf.

Philly will have zero interest in him and I am pretty sure he has zero interest in them.

1. No.  At least not at the price those teams would pay.

2. He and Wade are close.  The Heat don't have many means to get better.  They have 12 players under contract (not counting Wade).  He will put butts in the seats.  He will make them better.  Lots of reasons to sign him.

I think Carmelo is a net negative given his usage and shot profile combined with his weak possesion contribution and defense.

If he actually played like a Eddie House type stretch 4 sure he'd be a net positive, but that's not going to happen.

He’s a net negative and doesn’t show that he any clue that he’s not an MVP candidate.  Let those teams have him.

Lol they can go ahead.

I'd love to see Carmelo throwing up bricks and taking shots away from the others on that team (Reddick, Embiid, etc.)  :laugh:

Plus we would cook him on defense.  8)

I think Eddie House was a guard.  Do you mean James Posey?

You really think he will make Miami better? Some think he is the worst player in the NBA.

Also isn't like 50:50 that wade retires?

and yet the Thunder were better when he was on the court then when he was off the court, but a fairly decent amount.

Yes.  I think he will make Miami better. 

His contract has been the problem the last few seasons.  He just wasn't worth it at those prices, but him at a reasonable contract is absolutely worth signing for some teams (I don't think he fits Boston at all, but that isn't the case in Miami, Houston, or LA).

It was the opposite of that in the playoffs right? He is also only getting worse at his age.

every single starter on the Thunder was worse in the game then on the bench, though Melo did have the worst numbers in that regard.

Dear Lakers,

Please, please, PLEASE sign Carmelo Anthony. To a multiyear deal. I think he'd be really good for your team.

Love,
