Break In Case Of Emergency - Carmelo Anthony

Blazer's Edge Prior to the start of the 2019-2020 NBA season, Portland Trail Blazers General Manager Neil Olshey touted this roster as the “deepest, most versatile” he had ever put together. Yet after losing starting power forward Zach Collins, arguably only the 4th best player on the team, to a possible season-ending labrum injury after only three games, the Trail Blazers find themselves in a tailspin sitting with a 4-8 record and 13th in the Western Conference. The Blazers

Houston Rockets: Thank You, Next

Slam Online Earlier this year I wrote an article describing 13 reasons why Carmelo Anthony would benefit the Rockets. Most of those reasons clearly went up in flames along with Melo’s brief tenure with the team. However, the final reason remained true – Melo represented a low risk gamble with a huge payoff. The Rockets ultimately paid him the veterans minimum, tried it out, and moved on. Coach D’Antoni echoed this sentiment in his comments: “We tried to hit a home run and i

Expectations for Carmelo Anthony in 2018-19

CBS Sports Perhaps one of - if not the biggest - concern for the Houston Rockets this offseason was how veteran Carmelo Anthony would fit in. Through the first four games, the existing assumption that it would take time for Anthony to truly find his role, has indeed proven true true. The reigning Western Conference regular season champions have stumbled out to a 1-3 start. Chemistry issues and defensive woes have dominated thus far; suspensions and injuries could also delay t

Breaking: Carmelo Anthony Agrees To Deal With Houston Rockets

July 30th, Anthony agreed to a contract buyout with the Atlanta Hawks worth about $25 million. This agreement is expected to be worth about $2.4 million, or the least amount of money Carmelo Anthony could sign for. This is also the same amount of money Anthony gave up in his buyout with the Atlanta Hawks last week. Anthony a

Carmelo Anthony and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Struggle to Thrive: How Melo is Adjusting to Russell

Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Doug McDermott, Enes Kanter, and Chicago’s 2018 second round draft pick. During a packed offseason, Anthony was expected to be the final piece of an Oklahoma City big three alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George (big four if you consider the 24-year-old Oceanian wunderkind Steven Adams) that could push the Thunder into Finals contention past the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors.

Blazers Too Much For Visiting Thunder

Carmelo Anthony was in Portland Sunday night. But rather than filling the lanes with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Anthony was doing his best to stop the dynamic Blazers backcourt with his new team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lillard and McCollum openly recruited Anthony this summer as the former Knick looked for new opportunities after a tumultuous and mostly underwhelming run in New York. In the end it was not meant to be, as Anthony ended up a division rival rather than

Will Melo Work in OKC?

The Carmelo Anthony drama in New York has been going on for a long time. The former New York Knick President of Basketball Operations, Phil Jackson, did everything short of kicking Carmelo Anthony’s dog to get rid of him. He bashed Melo any chance he could and openly talked about wanting to trade him, which was not easy because Phil had given him a no trade clause. This summer Melo made it be known that he wanted out of New York and he would only welcome a trade to the Housto

Carmelo Anthony 64

I love the title of this article so much. I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the Nintendo 64, but it is one of the greatest video game consoles ever. It was a console that allowed four people to play at once and it still holds up today despite its flaws like poor graphics and no online play. I could sit down with a Nintendo 64, Super Smash Bros., and three good friends and have fun for hours. Even though this is true, it does not mean that the Nintendo 64 is bett

Let's Not Write off Carmelo Anthony Just Yet

At one point in NBA history Carmelo Anthony was one of the biggest names in the NBA. Teams were fighting over trades to get the superstar and other stars wanted to have him on their team. Things can change when teams start to lose. Carmelo Anthony might be one of the most underrated players in the NBA. One thing is for certain, Anthony has a legacy and most fans would say he was one of the better players to ever play the game of basketball. Anthony is the United States Nation

Is Carmelo Anthony Worthy of the Hall of Fame?

In many ways Carmelo Anthony’s legacy is already solidified. After all it is safe to say that Anthony, now entering his 14th season, has many more years of basketball behind him than ahead of him. At age 32 Anthony is already a lock to make the hall of fame. Some might question his place in the hall because of his perceived lack of team and playoff success, but he more than matches up with his peers. Even if Anthony were never to play another NBA game, it's hard to argue that
