NBA 18/19: 3 playoff contenders who can still sign Carmelo Anthony

#2. Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics started the season as the favorites, however, they only sit fourth in the East standings

Heading into the season, the Boston Celtics were fancied by many to be the team that challenged the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. However, Boston has surprisingly struggled, and speculation over the futures of Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown has negatively affected the team all season long.

Despite their troubles, the Celtics still look set to secure homecourt advantage in the playoffs, and once Greg Monroe's 10-day contract expires next week, the Celtics will once again have an open roster spot to fill.

When assessing the Celtics current roster, the team are not particularly short in any area, and the addition of Anthony would be a risk-free move. Melo would add experience to a young Celtics roster, and the veteran could also contribute valuable points from the bench.
