NBA News Roundup, Wednesday, August 7th: Dwyane wade rules out linking up with LeBron James for the Lakers, Carmelo Anthony backed to return to the Nuggets and more

#2 Carmelo Anthony backed by John Wall to return to Denver with the Nuggets

Carmelo Anthony's spell with the Houston Rockets lasted just 10 games

Back in the summer of 2017, teams were jostling to sign Carmelo Anthony after the New York Knicks agreed to trade their biggest star. Anthony eventually completed a surprise move to the Oklahoma City Thunder but was moved after just one inconsistent season. Melo went on to link up with the Houston Rockets ahead of the 18-19 season but was told to find a new team after just 10 games.

The 35-year-old's future now hangs in the balance, although John Wall has backed Anthony to make a return to the Denver Nuggets:

"The only way it is really going to work for Melo is if he goes back to the Nuggets. It has to be a franchise you built something with."

Melo was drafted by the Nuggets back in 2003 and went on to establish himself as one of the NBA's best players during his eight-year spell with the team.
