According to reports, Carmelo Anthony has just one season remaining in the NBA as he turns 39 next season. In addition, there are rumors he wants to spend his last year with the New York Knicks.

Adding to this, he also mentioned that it could be possible because there is no information about it not getting done either. The Knicks have been very active this off-season making changes to their team. It appears they are getting ready for next season after extending Mitchell Robinson and signing Jalen Brunson from the Dallas Mavericks.

"If Carmelo wanted to come back and have his final year in the NBA here [with the Knicks], that was on the table, and I haven't heard anything about it being off the table."
