Carmelo Anthony Deserves a New Team

I was watching the Denver Nuggets play against the Sacramento Kings last night and one thing was clear: Carmelo Anthony needs a new team.

Carmelo was a one-man team, scoring bucket after bucket with little help from his teammates. Carmelo is a top-five NBA player with the talents of a LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant and a Kobe Bryant.

Chauncey Billups has gotten old quick. Kenyon Martin may be done with his vast array of injuries. Nene is a decent player and the Birdman's day is over. The only players that the Nuggets have to build around going forward are Ty Lawson and J.R. Smith.

Melo deserves better than that. He does not want to spend his best years suffering with a rebuilding project in Denver.

It's obvious that he will bolt once the season is over, so the Nuggets should do Carmelo a favor and trade him now.
