The addition of Carmelo Anthony to the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason is one that was seemingly meant to happen a long time ago. The Lakers and Anthony have been linked together over the years, and with LeBron James joining the franchise in 2018, many assumed it was only a matter of time before he was in Purple and Gold.
Of course, it didn’t happen when many assumed it would, but ultimately it has finally come to fruition as the Lakers signed Carmelo to a one-year deal this summer, pairing him up with LeBron for the first time in their careers.
