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.

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.
