1. Carmelo Anthony

The 10-time All-Star, former NBA scoring champion and future Hall of Famer showed that he is still a capable scorer after being written off by a lot of people.

Carmelo played in 58 games with the Portland Trail Blazers as a midseason pickup, averaging 15.4 points and six rebounds per game. He may not be dropping 25-30 points per game, but Melo can space the floor and knock down shots; he hit 38 percent beyond the 3-point arc with Portland.

Carmelo to the Grizzlies may be unlikely as he could be focusing more on title contenders at this stage in his career, but it would be a fun addition to the Memphis roster and he’d be a veteran presence in the locker room.
