Report: Carmelo Anthony Could Pair With LeBron James In Lakers

LeBron James has been playing in three different teams. He left Cleveland twice and now plays with the Los Angeles Lakers. Every time LeBron changes a team, the front office tries to build the roster around him. The management tries really hard to help LeBron win championships. LeBron will enter his 18th season and his third with the Los Angeles Lakers. The team may consider pairing him with a free agent. Is there any chance for Carmelo Anthony to play alongside LeBron James in LA? Yes.

LeBron’s teams need players who can make their own shots. Evan Fournier is one of these players. Although he is not the most popular player on the list of free agents, the Lakers could really use his averages of 19 points per game.

Danilo Gallinari is pretty similar to Fournier. He is able to create his own shots and he is 6-foot-10. Gallinari was brilliant in OKC last season, and he may easily earn a lot of money on the open market. Oklahoma may not be interested in paying him this much. If the Lakers free enough space, Gallinari can become a nice asset. Pairing him with LeBron James would be really great. It’s an ideal duo.

Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James on the same team?

What about Melo? Many thought that the Lakers want to bring him in town. However, the negotiations didn’t bring anything good. Melo will hit the open market after the end of the season. He has already played with LeBron in Olympics. They are also great friends. LeBron and Melo may join forces and help the team win games next season. Of course, this deal wouldn’t burden the Lakers even more.

For now, LeBron is pretty satisfied with his squad. He has Anthony Davis by his side and they make the best duo in the NBA. But Davis is also set to enter the open market, and many say that he wants to go back home. Davis didn’t confirm this, but his most recent comments make us ask questions. How will the Lakers cope with the loss? They play really well with him on the roster. JaVale McGee and the rest of the guys are doing an excellent job.
