Time is ticking for Carmelo Anthony as he hopes to pursue his final year in the NBA, and the hunt for a contract remains ongoing.

The former Knicks star’s trainer, Chris Brickley, believes that he is “100%” NBA ready and wants a farewell tour like the one Dwyane Wade had with the Miami Heat.

“He’s easily better with 60%, 70% of NBA players walking around,” Brickley said on “The Breakfast Club.”

“I think teams are afraid of, ‘I want to be a starter,’ or ‘I want this.’ That’s not the case, though. Melo just wants to have a final season, have a farewell season, do what D-Wade did. Do the jersey swap. He had a great career, he’s a Hall of Famer. So hopefully that can happen.”

The NBA does not seem to agree with that assessment, especially after only playing 10 games with the Houston Rockets last season. Houston traded Anthony to the Chicago Bulls in January, and the Bulls waived him shortly thereafter.

Anthony, 35, is still receiving support from stars such as Portland Trail Blazers’ All-Star Damian Lillard, who advocated on Twitter for an Anthony farewell season.

Brickley compared Anthony’s situation to that of Allen Iverson’s at the end of Iverson’s career.

“If you remember, (Iverson) kind of got, some people say, blackballed. He got into a situation in his career, where teams would be like, ‘Oh, he’s gonna want this role, so we’re gonna stay away.’ I think that’s what’s going on with Melo right now.”
