If there’s one team out there that could tame the beast that is Carmelo Anthony, it’s the Portland Trail Blazers. With dozens of players around the league still reminiscing about their time in Portland with nothing but good things to say about Damian Lillard and co., it’s not outrageous to say the Blazers may have the healthiest locker room in the league.
Truth be told, that’s the root of the Melo problem. Years spent in a toxic locker room environment manifested by the worst owner in professional sports and a revolving door of failed general managers fostered a selfish me-first mentality inside Carmelo.
