After a contract buyout, Carmelo Anthony signed a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal to team up with Chris Paul, James Harden, and the Houston Rockets.
However, after the Houston Rockets got off to a dismal start to the 2018-19 NBA season, Anthony was left out of the rotation after playing only ten games. Now, he has been waiting in the wings in hopes of a trade to materialize.
The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly been a possible destination for the 34-year-old given his ties to LeBron James. The two friends have openly expressed a desire to play together and the current situation offers them the best opportunity to make that happen.
