<p></p></div>
<p>According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the player’s manager, <strong>Bay Frazier</strong>, toldhim Carmelo Anthony and the Los Angeles Lakers <strong>reached an agreement for a one-year deal</strong>. Melo has proven to be a useful tool coming off the bench at Portland, and his three-point shooting accuracy could help the Lakers in their quest <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for an 18th NBA title</a>.</p>
<p>Last season, the forward mostly appeared for the Trail Blazers as a rotation playerand came up clutch from the three-point line several times, averaging a career-high 40.9% from there in 2020/21. He is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/2021-nba-free-agency-memes-and-reactions-to-chris-paul-staying-with-the-suns-lakers-reunion-20210802-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the many veterans that will reportedly join the Lakers</a> for next season.</p>

<p>The Lakers have brought in several big-name players, but their ages havebeen seen as an issue for a number of NBA fans. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-draft-top-5-players-drafted-straight-out-of-high-school-20201106-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dwight Howard</strong></a>, <strong>Trevor Ariza</strong>, <strong>Wayne Ellington</strong>, <strong>Kent Bazemore</strong>, and <strong>Melo</strong> are all talented players butprobably going throughthe final stages of their careers.</p>
<p>Caremelo Anthony is <strong>37 years old</strong> so his one-year contract with Los Angeles makes sense. Depending on how valuable he proves to be for the team this season he might receive an extension, but there’s still a long way to go before that.</p>

Carmelo Anthony joins LeBron's Lakers: Funniest memes and reactions

Carmelo Anthony joins LeBron's Lakers: Funniest memes and reactions - Bolavip US

<p>It’s crazy to think how fast the career of a professional athlete can change. One day you’re at the top, and the next day you may not even play. That’s what happened to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/portland-trail-blazers-t102081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portland Trail Blazers</a> </strong>star C<strong>armelo Anthony</strong> a couple of years ago, as he wasn’t even a part of an<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> roster after a failed stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets.</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>Phil Jackson </strong>used Carmelo as the scapegoat for the <strong>New York Knicks. </strong>He blamed him for the team’s struggles even though most of the issues came from how poorly managed the franchise was in the first place.</p>
<p>Then, following a solid stint with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/oklahoma-city-thunder-t91653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>,</strong> Melo signed with the Houston<strong></strong>Rockets,<strong> </strong>who once again <strong>used him as the fall guy</strong>when things weren’t going in the right direction.</p>

<p></p>
<p>That resulted in Carmelo Anthony missing almost one season of his career because the word around the league was that he wasn’t good anymore or that<strong> he wasn’t willing to embrace a lesser role.</strong></p>
<h2>Carmelo Anthony Becomes The NBA’s 10th All-Time Leading Scorer</h2>
<p>Fast-forward to today, and it’s pretty clear that the Blazers did the right thing by offering him another chance, as he recently became the league’s<strong> 10th all-time leading scorer</strong> and has been a huge presence for them off the bench:</p>
<p><em><strong>“A couple of years ago I ain’t think I was gonna be in this moment. I was out of the league for whatever reason. I’m back. I persevered. I stayed strong I stayed true to myself &amp; now I’m here in the Top 10,”</strong></em> Anthony said.</p>

<p>The 36-year-old veteran has now scored<strong>27,314 career points </strong>(and counting) and there’s a good chance that he becomes one of 8 players to score at least 30,000 points throughout his career before he retires.</p>
<p>Sadly, Anthony was never able to win a ring or even make it to the NBA Finals but that shouldn’t stain his legacy as one of the <strong>greatest scorers of all time,</strong> and the league should line up and ask him for forgiveness after what they did to him.</p>

<p>Fueled by the revolutionary Triangle Offense, <strong>Phil Jackson</strong> is perhaps the greatest coach in <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> history.</strong> His two dynasties with the <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong></a>are the ultimate cover letter.</p>
<p>That’s why<strong> James Dolan </strong>and the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Knicks</strong></a> thought he’d be the perfect guy to fix the mess they had gotten into. They hired him as an executive and instead, he tried to impose his system on coach<strong> Derek Fisher </strong>and mishandled his personnel as well.</p>
<p>The biggestissue from <em>The Zen Master’s</em>time at the Madison Square Garden was clearly his poor relationship with<strong> Carmelo Anthony</strong>. He didn’t get along with the team’s biggest star and pretty much turned the media and the narratives against him.</p>

<h2>Phil Jackson Says Carmelo Anthony Didn’t Know How To Be A Leader</h2>
<p>And now, years after their backs-and-forths, Jackson finally admitted in an interview for the <strong>Curious Leader podcast</strong>that he didn’t care for Carmelo and thought he wasn’t much of a leader:</p>
<p><em><strong>“Carmelo, I think, wanted to be a leader, but I don’t think he completely knew how to be a leader as a player. And I think that the strength of his personality was intimidating to some of the coaches that were asked to coach the team.</strong> And so there wasn’t this compliance that has to happen between players and coaches. And as much I tried to interject my own beliefs, I don’t think you’re close enough to the ground in that situation to really be effective in dictating how things are going to be done,”</em> Jackson said.</p>

<h2>Jackson Says He Was Looking Forward To Trading Carmelo</h2>
<p>Phil added that he wanted to trade away Carmelo Anthony for years but his no-trade clause made it impossible to do it and that it hurt the team’s flexibility,<strong> pretty much blaming him for theirstruggles:</strong></p>
<p><em>“I wanted to trade Carmelo and … he’s got a no-trade clause that they asked for, but I suggested that if there was a situation—and I asked them to trade, I wanted them to be compliant with it<strong>. And you can have all your choices that you want but I want you to go along with the idea that maybe your time has come with being with the Knicks.</strong> So that was met without compliance,” </em>he concluded.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>While Anthony’s tenure at the <em>Big Apple</em> was far from stellar, he was still mistreated by Phil Jackson and the media. He was always the fall guy and that narrative eventually <strong>robbed him of a year of his career.</strong></p>

<h2>9. Dwight Howard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>2019/20 Stats:</strong> 7.5 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 0.7 APG</p>
<p>Even if he’s no longer the perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate he once was, <strong>Dwight Howard </strong>proved that he can still be a huge contributor toa championship team. He was in the best shape of his career and provided a lot of energy on both ends of the glass.</p>
<p>Howard is still an elite rim runner and rim protector and he already said that he won’t take a veteran minimum deal again after winning his first ring. If he stays locked in, he could be a major addition for a contending team <strong>on a one-year deal.</strong></p>
<h2>8. Fred VanVleet</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>2019/20 Stats: </strong>17.6 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 6.6 APG</p>
<p><strong>Fred VanVleet </strong>was honest about his plans for free agency. He said that he’s already an NBA Champion and now just wants to cash in after enduring a tough journey on his way to the league. It’s fair, and he’s earned it.</p>
<p><em>‘Steady Freddy’ </em>broke out as a scorer and playmaker this season after already proving that he could be a lockdown defender in the backcourt as well. <strong>He’s likely going to be overpaid, </strong>though, as he’s better off as a role player and there are still some doubts about his ability to be ‘the man’.</p>
<h2>7. Serge Ibaka</h2>

<p><strong>2019/20 Stats: </strong>15.4 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 1.4 APG</p>
<p><strong>Serge Ibaka</strong> continues to be a reliable source of energy on both ends of the floor. He’s no longer the top-notch rim protector he was during his days at OKC, but he can still play solid defense in the post and the perimeter.</p>
<p>Ibaka has also added the three-point shot to his repertoire which is a must nowadays for big men, and he’s rumored to be on the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> and Los Angeles Lakers</strong>‘ radar if the <strong>Toronto Raptors</strong> don’t bring him back.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>2019/20 Stats: </strong>18.6 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 1.7 APG</p>
<p>The reigning <strong>Sixth Man of the Year </strong>has earned his money, that’s for sure. However, it’s unlikely that the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> </strong>will be willing to commit a lot of cash for<strong> Montrezl Harrell </strong>after their meltdown last year.</p>
<p>The Clippers are reportedly going to look for a third star in the offseason and keeping Harrell will be tricky. He’s a never-ending source of energy and an outstanding offensive rebounder, but whether he’s <strong>good enough to start and sign a big contract</strong> is yet to be seen.</p>
<h2>5. Jerami Grant</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Jerami Grant" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Jerami Grant" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201120_BUS_166174_jerami_grant.jpg_22069893_cdf87ea3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Grant is unsure about the Nuggets.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>2019/20 Stats: </strong>12.0 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 1.2 APG</p>
<p>The <strong>Denver Nuggets </strong>would be making a huge mistake if they let <strong>Jerami Grant</strong> walk away, although they may have no choice if other teams showup with a big bag of cash, which is likely to be the case.</p>
<p>Grant has improved as a scorer from all three levels and his versatility as a defender could come pretty handily for teams lacking size. <strong>He can guard one through five </strong>and could even play as an undersized center from time to time.</p>
<h2>4. Tristan Thompson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Tristan Thompson" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Tristan Thompson" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201120_BUS_166174_tristan_thompson.jpg_22069893_9be98b40.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Thompson will take a pay cut.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>2019/20 Stats:</strong> 12.0 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 2.1 APG</p>
<p><strong>LeBron James</strong> made sure that <strong>Tristan Thompson </strong>got his money in his last contract. Now, he knows that he’s going to have to take a massive discount if he wants to go back to contending for a ring.</p>
<p>Thompson is one of the best offensive rebounders in the league and has made great strides as a defender as well, although his offense is still limited, to say the least. His skill set could be perfect for teams<strong> needing an interior presence and second-chance opportunities.</strong></p>

<p><strong>2019/20 Stats: </strong>14.5 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 2.1 APG</p>
<p>People continue to sleep on <strong>Joe Harris</strong> despite the fact that he’s been one of the most efficient volume shooters in the league for the past couple of years. Now, there aren’t going to be many touches for him in the <strong>Brooklyn Nets.</strong></p>
<p>Harris is the best sharpshooter in this year’s free agency class and he already got paid a nice bag, so perhaps he’ll now pursue his first ring. There’s no doubt that there will be plenty of teams waiting in line to acquire his <strong>JJ Redick-</strong>ish services.</p>
<p><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 30px;font-weight: bold">2. Danilo G</span><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 30px;font-weight: bold">allinari</span></p>

<p><strong>2019/20 Stats:</strong> 18.7 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 1.9 APG</p>
<p>I guess that we can all agree that if it wasn’t for injuries, then<strong> Danilo Gallinari </strong>would be a multiple-time All-Star and one of the best scorers in the league. That’s why he keeps getting paid despite being so injury-prone.</p>
<p>The Italian forward has a rare combination of size, speed, and shooting skills that many contending teams could find helpful. He’s likely looking to cash in <strong>the lastlucrative deal of his career.</strong></p>

<p>And last but not least, we find <strong>Carmelo Anthony. </strong>Everybody should be waiting in line outside his house to apologize to him after dubbing him a toxic player and pointing him out as the scapegoat over and over.</p>
<p>Melo proved againthat he’s one of the greatest scorers of all time by hitting huge clutch shots for the Blazers last year. He embraced his lesser role and showed that he still has a lot left in the tank, and any contending team could use<strong> his timely and efficient scoring touch.</strong></p>
