Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum Should Be Enough To Sway Carmelo Anthony

One thing that Carmelo Anthony has always been able to count on during his tenure with the New York Knicks is a lackluster supporting cast. It’s why playing with an elite backcourt should be enough to entice Melo to the idea of playing in Portland.

Portland’s star guards, Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, made their recruiting pitches to Anthony this week. Lillard illustrated while speaking at his camp in Portland (via Kevin Spain of USA Today Sports) that he and McCollum seem to think they have a shot at talking Anthony into coming to Rip City.
