Photo: Carmelo Anthony (Instagram) Former NBA star Carmelo Anthony is looking to buy an NBA team, and he thinks teaming up with Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade would be perfect. Anthony talked about this idea on a recent episode of "7PM in Brooklyn." “I’m trying to raise money now, traveling around to fundraise,” Anthony said. “It’s hard, but it’s important because sports involve a lot of money, and not everyone understands that.” Anthony, who earned over $260 million during his NBA career, loves the idea of owning a team with Wade and LeBron James , who also joined the NBA in 2003. “That’s how you create a legacy,” he said. “I’d love to do it, but I’m not sure how open they are to it.” Photo: Carmelo Anthony (Instagram) Wade already has experience as a team owner. He became a minority owner of the Utah Jazz in 2021 and is also part of the ownership group for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Owning a team with Wade would be a dream come true for Anthony.

The dialogue, as shared on "The ETCS podcast Kevin Durant" in 2021, reveals Durant's perspective: "I done heard a couple stories. From my end, we sent some texts on just, 'Yo, I seen that? You seen that? Alright, bet. That's really what it was, bro. It wasn't no urgent FaceTime call. It was exactly what I just said. 'Yo, you see what just happened?' 'Bet. Alright, I'm on the way.'"

Photo: Instagram/Dillon Brooks  Dillon Brooks , the Memphis Grizzlies player, has a reputation for being outspoken both on and off the court. In his most recent remarks, Brooks commented on the need for veteran leadership in the Grizzlies team, which has been facing some challenges lately. Some of the team's players have called for more experienced players to join the team and provide guidance. Photo: Instagram/Dillon Brooks  However, Brooks did not seem enthusiastic about the idea of bringing in veteran players. In fact, he questioned who the team could even sign, mentioning Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard as examples of players who are trying to make a comeback and may not be interested in mentoring younger players. Brooks cited Udonis Haslem as an example of a true veteran player who is willing to take on a mentorship role. While Brooks' comments do have some validity, they also highlight his tendency to speak his mind without necessarily considering the impact of his ...

Photo: Instagram/Carmelo Anthony  Carmelo Anthony has not played a game in the NBA this season and has been unsuccessful in securing a new contract. However, Kevin Durant recently praised the veteran player and stated that he has what it takes to be in the league right now. The Phoenix Suns, who lost some key players in a trade involving Durant, could potentially benefit from Anthony's talents. Photo: Instagram/Carmelo Anthony  He may not be the superstar he once was, but Anthony could still provide valuable minutes for the Suns off the bench. Additionally, Chris Paul, one of Anthony's closest friends in the NBA, may also have a say in this decision. If the Suns decide to consider Anthony, they may need to fill some gaps in their lineup, especially in their second unit. Only time will tell if the Suns will conduct their due diligence on the six-time All-NBA forward.
