There has been ‘some talk’ about Nets adding Carmelo Anthony

Based on Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, the Brooklyn Nets are one staff that has had conversations about signing veteran ahead Carmelo Anthony.

“They want one other large man, however they’re not feeling numerous stress so far as filling that spot,” an government instructed Heavy.com. “There are veterans they’ll signal this month and even early subsequent month – Dwight Howard can be the apparent one, possibly Hassan Whiteside. Cody Zeller is on the market, too. They need to see what they’ve with Nic Claxton, however they need some insurance coverage there, too. They usually’re going to play [Ben] Simmons there fairly a bit in small ball lineups. I’d count on them to maintain 14 guys, hold one spot open. There was some speak about them signing Carmelo Anthony, possibly as a nod to Kevin Durant, however clearly that has not gotten anyplace, at the least not but.”

Final season, Anthony averaged 13.3 factors, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 help per recreation whereas capturing 44.1 p.c from the sector and 37.5 p.c from deep for the Los Angeles Lakers.
