Barely a few hours have passed since the market opened in the NBA and today one of the great surprises took place. LeBron James will finally have his dear friend Carmelo Anthony as a teammate in the Los Angeles Lakers. Just one day after getting on draft night to Russell westbrook for the Angelina franchise, this Monday another bomb has jumped with the arrival of ‘Melo’.
The ‘King’ wants to forget the last year and achieve at least one more NBA ring. One who, by the way, has never gotten the Brooklyn-born forward. Carmelo Anthony arrives as a free agent and signs for one season. At 37, he dreams of a championship in the best league in the world.
It has been Anthony himself who has confirmed his signing with an ephemeral video on his social networks, in which you can see how the ‘L’ of ‘Melo’ changes for the Lakers shield. The Californian franchise will be the sixth of his NBA career after passing through the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers. LAL had to fill the gap of Kuzma, involved in the movement for Westbrook.
