Carmelo Anthony Joins the Lakers

Yes, yes, yes. This goes against everything that’s being reported.

Anthony has already started talking to the Heat and Rockets, according to according to Woj. Houston is reportedly the heavy favorite to land his services once he leaves Oklahoma City, per Marc Stein of the New York Times.customized nfl jerseys

Who cares?

Anthony joining LeBron James is the dream for those of us who take great pleasure in oddball roster constructions. Think about it: The Lakers were at one time supposed to partner LeBron with Leonard and Paul George. Surrounding him instead with Anthony, JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson is an objectively hilarious contingency.nfl custom jerseys cheap

To be clear: This isn’t all giggles and upside-down-face emojis. Anthony’s connection with James is no laughing matter. He might be willing to make concessions alongside his BFFL that he wasn’t open to in Oklahoma City.cheap custom nfl jerseys

Conversely, perhaps Anthony flat-out masters the role of secondary scorer, spot-up assassin and occasional pick-and-roll diver. James has a way of bringing out the best in everyone who follows his lead, which is why we can only cackle over the Lakers’ peripheral moves until they play the games.

Indeed, the Rockets are an equally intriguing destination for Anthony. In reality, they’re the best fit, bar none. They’re approaching next season with more urgency; their timeline is more immediate than the from-scratch process James is endorsing with the Lakers.cheap customized nfl jerseys

Still, we’re talking about LeBron and Melo playing on the same team alongside a bunch of kiddies in one of the biggest markets. This needs to happen.
