Is Carmelo Anthony really the best free agent remaining the Boston Celtics could sign?

The Boston Celtics are reportedly planning on taking their time deciding what they will do regarding the minutes that injured veteran forward Danilo Gallinari would have played for the team this season.

Gallinari tore his left ACL in a FIBA World Cup qualifying game this summer and will miss the NBA regular season.

Rumors have connected the Celtics to veteran free agent Carmelo Anthony given the fact that not only is the 19-year veteran a fairly similar player to Gallinari. Neither is known for his defense at this stage of his career, but Anthony could very well be the best remaining unsigned free agent.

The hosts of ESPN’s “NBA Today” show recently debated whether Melo is indeed the best remaining option the Celtics or the rest of the league could sign.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to see what they had to say about that.
