The Los Angeles Lakers are still trying to fill their roster with shooters, defenders, and crafty veterans. That, at least, appears to be the plan after they reportedly agreed to terms with players like Kent Bazemore, Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington, and Dwight Howard. However, they did not make a day one agreement with their most likely target, Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony has long been connected to the Lakers, ever since the team originally signed LeBron James in the summer of 2018. However, the team did not pursue him, and he instead spent the past two seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers.
