Report: Carmelo Anthony Linked With Lakers to Team Up With LeBron James

It’s Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James again. It looks like NBA analysts will link Melo and LeBron every time someone mentions their names. Melo has been linked to the Lakers since forever. He and LeBron would look really good together. Several sources reveal that LeBron tried to get him on the LA roster in his first season with the team. The Lakers didn’t get the veteran. Will they give him a chance this time? Melo can be of great help. His story didn’t end here. The veteran is really talented. Keep in mind that LA can give him a ring.

Melo last played with the Portland Trail Blazers. He entered free agency and several teams are considered great destinations for the 18-year veteran. Of course, Melo has so much to offer and LA could get the best of him. The veteran believes he can contribute to each team he joins.

“The Lakers seem like the most likely landing spot for Carmelo Anthony if he leaves Portland in free agency. Both sides have a high level of interest in each other.”

Carmelo Anthony to join LeBron James

The 37-year-old is no longer in his primetime. He was someone who could hit 30 points in pretty much any game. He was averaging 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 25 minutes per game for Portland.

What’s the best aspect of his game? Melo can shock doubters with his outside shooting. He had the best 3-point shooting year last season. He was shooting like crazy at this age. A lot of people doubted his skills, but he proved them wrong. Melo became a deadeye shooter who hit over 40% of his attempts from distance.

The Lakers should address this area. They struggled in this aspect of the game and General Manager Rob Pelinka should take this into consideration.

LeBron and his teammates have to work really hard to prepare for another long season. The Phoenix Suns eliminated them a month ago, giving them a chance to do better next season. The Lakers entered the season a little too early and they will have more time to practice than any other team in the league.
