Among the signings the Los Angeles Lakers made this offseason, the one that got the most attention is that of Carmelo Anthony. The future Hall of Famer has seemingly been linked to the franchise for years now, but will finally put on the Purple and Gold and team up with one of his closest friends in LeBron James.
James and Anthony have always been extremely close even as they battled on the court and the two would regularly be seen in the offseasons both training together and on vacations. In fact, it was James who reached out to Anthony to come and join the Lakers this season before the front office even got in contact.
