NBA Trade Rumors: 3 Players the Brooklyn Nets should target this month

#1 Carmelo Anthony

Houston Rockets v Los Angeles Lakers

Both fans and analysts alike are split on whether Carmelo Anthony still has a future in the NBA, although interest will surely ramp up in the 10-time All-Star as we reach the February trade deadline. The Rockets are still looking for a trade partner for Anthony after the 34-year-old lasted just 10 games in Houston, and the Nets will struggle to add a more capable player before the trade deadline.

In his brief time in a Rockets uniform, Anthony averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, and Melo finally accepted a role as a reserve. The addition of Anthony would give the Nets much-needed depth from the bench, and the veterans playoff experience could also be a help, as the majority of the Nets roster have never been to the postseason.

Ultimately, Anthony represents a quick fix for the Nets, and the 34-year-would cherish the opportunity to play for his home town team.
