NBA Rumors: Lakers ‘Maintain Interest’ In Carmelo Anthony If Roster Spot Opens Up

Since the Houston Rockets parted ways with Carmelo Anthony 10 games into the 2018-19 NBA season, he has consistently been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Despite LeBron James’ numerous comments about wanting to play with Anthony, there have been conflicting reports about the team’s interest in him via trade or waivers.

As the Feb. 7 trade deadline approaches, the Rockets have finally traded Anthony to the Chicago Bulls for cash considerations. While the 34-year-old will not play for the Bulls, they may hold off on waiving him for now in a potential one-on-one trade.
