Trade Rumors: Insider Reveals Interesting Detail of Lakers – Carmelo Anthony Talks

Many thought that LeBron James would convince the Los Angeles Lakers to get Carmelo Anthony on the roster. The talented player ended up playing with the Houston Rockets in the 2018-19 season. However, they cut him after 10 games. Melo didn’t receive a good offer, and his NBA future didn’t look good at all.

The veteran had a rough year. Melo could manage FT of 40.4% and was a bit slower than usual. Well, that’s how things looked back then. The Portland Trail Blazers wanted Melo and signed him for a non-guaranteed contract. There were so many rumors about Melo’s potential role with the Los Angeles Lakers. Well, he didn’t become a Laker. The Blazers got him.

Portland has the No.9 seed due to their 31-38 record in the West. The situation doesn’t look really good for the team. Will they make the playoffs? It’s a tough situation. The Trail Blazers had a good restart to the season and won two out of three games. Melo has a good role in the team, and he helped them defeat the Rockets. Houston goes really hard against rivals, but Melo’s team had better game.

The Lakers wanted Carmelo Anthony

Brandon Scoop B Robinson took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Melo and the Lakers. “Lakers wanted him last year when it wasn’t certain if LA would be playoffs bounds. He declined.” This sort of explains a lot of things. Melo wasn’t really interested in joining the Lakers.

The veteran records 15 points and 11 rebounds. Melo’s three from down the line gave the Blazers an important lead. It was more like a personal thing for him.

In his interview with Rachel Nichols from ESPN, LeBron spoke about Melo.

“I think it would it be great to have Carmelo Anthony be on the Lakers,” he said. “I believe Melo can still play the game. Yes, I believe I can help Melo.”

The Lakers will make the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season. LA is back on track and Melo would love to join this year’s squad. He wants to win. The Lakers will win.
