The issue is not that he can't contribute. The issue is that what he thinks he can contribute and what NBA teams think he can contribute are too different. You think he will sit still on a bench and play 15 minutes a game? No. He wants to be play 30 mins and score 30 points. You would think he would embrace a role where he can be the 6th man like Eric Gordon or Lou Williams. NOOO. That's too demeaning for him. He is Carmelo Anthony! NBA Superstar.

This was just 2 seasons ago:
Anthony obviously didn't waive his no-trade clause to end up in a situation where he wasn't having his needs met and one of those needs involves high volume of minutes. So when he was asked on media day about the possibility of coming off the bench, Anthony couldn't help but begin to laugh.
"Who me? I don't know where that started where that came from. Hey P (Paul George) they said I gotta come off the bench."

As a NBA player who was a primary option for a long time, you have two choices when it comes to the later parts of your career. Either retire and go out when you don't want to be a bench player, or embrace a new role. Carmelo is not doing either. And thus he is not on a team.

Conspiracy theory: you don't think other NBA execs have reached out to Morey to see why carmelo was let go?

Agree, he's struggling with minutes and not being in his prime. He's is a 10 to 15 minute player. Not only did the Rockets not want him so did 29 other teams. Come on Melo, accept the fact that it's done!
