Of all the Los Angeles Lakers free-agent additions this year, the biggest name among them was undoubtedly future Hall of Fame forward Carmelo Anthony. The legendary scorer completely rebuilt his reputation with the Portland Trail Blazers over the last two seasons and has become one of the better role players in the league.
The Lakers bringing him in this season is somewhat of a culmination of the last few years when the two sides had been linked time and time again, but never came together. Now Anthony has his sights set on winning his first NBA Championship in Los Angeles, but had things been a little different from Portland’s side the move may have never happened.
