At 37, Carmelo Anthony will have a new shot at one of the greatest teams in the NBA. Three years ago, the outlook was much more complicated for him as his future in the league was up in the air. He bounced back, though, and now will join a ring contendingLos Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The veteran forward has revitalized his career by embracing a secondary role with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2019 after spending one year off the court and now he is having an even greater chance by joining forces withLeBron James.
The 2021/22 season will probably be a special one for Melo belonging to a championship-caliber team after so many years of enduring tough circumstances since leaving the New York Knicks.
