Portland Trail Blazers free agent Carmelo Anthony may be gaining interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. ESPN’s Jordan Schultz highlights the potential attraction between Anthony and LA.
#Lakers are “very interested” in the prospect of signing Carmelo Anthony, per a league source. Melo has been linked to the Lakers as a possibility, given his friendship w/LeBron dating back to high school. Anthony drilled a career-best 40.9 percent from 3 last season w/Portland.
