NBA Today: 3 NBA Free Agents who may be forced to retire

#1 Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony has not played since November

Carmelo Anthony still has the ability to make an impact for an NBA team, but it is a worrying sign that the 10-time All-Star is still without a team. Melo has now been free to sign with a new team since his ill-fated spell with the Houston Rockets came to an end back in November, and the Los Angeles Lakers are still the only team to publicly express an interest in Melo.

The Lakers' interest came back in early 2019, although the team eventually pulled its interest after falling out of playoff contention. After the franchise looked elsewhere in free agency, the chances of Anthony moving to LA are now slim, and the Brooklyn Nets have yet to make a move despite several senior players lobbying for Anthony's arrival. Ultimately, things don't look good, and the future Hall of Famer may have played his final game in the NBA.
