Carmelo Anthony is still without a team. Kendrick Perkins had something to say about the matter.

It's been eight months since Melo has played in the NBA. He was shut down by the Houston Rockets in November last year and was later traded to the Chicago Bulls, who have also decided to waive him. But when free agency opened earlier this month, a lot of fans were optimistic that he would sign with a new team.

Well, that hasn't happened yet.

Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins believes that the main reason why teams are not signing Carmelo Anthony is his reluctance to accept a lesser role.

That has been the consensus around the league for Melo.

Carmelo Anthony believes he's still one of the best players in the NBA, despite the fact that he's already past his prime. Moreover, Anthony's iso game is no longer effective in today's era, which is why a lot of experts are saying he hasn't been able to adapt to the need to be a more team-oriented player.

Kendrick Perkins is right: Melo can still play at a high level. He's one of the best and most lethal scorers in the history of the NBA. However, if he's not going to accept that he's no longer going to be the centerpiece of a successful franchise, there's no way he will be in the league next season.

There are reports that Anthony has started to consider retiring from the NBA, and at this point, that might be his best option.

Unless of course, he decides to accept who he is and who he isn't in today's NBA.
