Carmelo Anthony Reacts to Potential LeBron James Trade


The Los Angeles Lakers are at a crossroads. The team isn't good enough to compete for a championship anymore, but they're also not bad enough to fully tank a season. With both LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the roster, the Lakers are far too talented to be in the position they're in.

With their record in mind, the trade rumors have started overflowing about the team, including LeBron James.

During an episode of the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Denver Nuggets legend Carmelo Anthony gave his thoughts on LeBron potentially leaving the Lakers in a trade. In Carmelo's eyes, LeBron makes all the trades himself.

"LeBron makes the trades, so, if he wanna get traded, he'll get traded," Anthony said. "I think that window closed shut. Like it was a point in time, like maybe last year, or you know a little bit time ago where it was like, there was a thought like, 'Damn this could be a possibility.' Kuminga part of that trade now, is a big headline. Right? Because he's a major piece."

Currently, the Lakers have a record of 14-12, which doesn't sound great, but is also only one game out of being the fifth seed in the Western Conference. The team just defeated the second seeded Memphis Grizzlies, so they've shown that they can compete. For these reasons alone, blowing up the team would be unwarranted. It's more or less a matter of if they keep slipping, then LeBron would force a trade.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
