The Blazers’ talented backcourt reportedly made a pitch to Carmelo Anthony to try and convince him to come to Portland.
The Oregonian reported that Blazers guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum said they reached out to Anthony to try and recruit him. When asked of Anthony’s reaction McCollum said, “I think he’s interested,” according to The Oregonian.
Earlier in the day, McCollum was on SiriusXM NBA Radio, and said. “If we add Carmelo Anthony, we’ll be a top three team in the West immediately.” McCollum also posted a picture of Anthony in a Blazers uniform on Instagram over the weekend.
