Talks are brewing between the Knicks and the Celtics centering on Anthony

Anthony has been one of the league's finest scorers during the last 20 years. His ranking of ninth among all-time NBA scorers demonstrates his elite-level ability to put the ball in the basket. However, at 38 years old, he has evolved from being an attacking focal point to acting as a high-end six-man for the teams he has lately played for. Last season, he played in that capacity for the Los Angeles Lakers, where he averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 38% from three in 26 minutes per game.

While his days in the NBA are limited, he retains value throughout the league, and his willingness to accept a low-paying contract to join a competitive club just adds to that worth. That is why a couple of Eastern Conference teams are hoping to make the playoffs, and others are interested in signing the free agent forward.
