Carmelo to Lakers is the talk of the town

The Denver Nuggets have not been anything to write home about this season, but the potential of an Anthony trade has created a stir. The strongest buzz has been for the New York Knicks, although a new heavyweight may have entered the arena, reports ESPN. Carmeloa Anthony might be on his way to the Lakers. Article resource - Carmelo Anthony to the Lakers trade talk shifts to high gear by Newsytype.com.

Trade from Carmelo Anthony to Lakers

It is very possible for a Carmelo Anthony to Lakers trade to take place. Mere days after previous Lakers legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson proclaimed the team has to change something in order to win a championship, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak told the Los Angeles media that he is open to a trade. In Los Angeles, MTV personality La La Vazquez as wife of Carmelo Anthony purchased a home with her husband. The representatives of the Lakers have denied interest. It was quite coy though.

Lakers figures

The first in Pacific Division is the Lakers that also have 36-16. Answers are being looked for by the team though since a lot of high-profile losses have happened. The Lakers need a strong scorer. That means Anthony would work perfectly. Since Melo is 6 foot 8 and 230 pounds, he can do so several things while being a fantastic scorer. It would be very hard to guard the Lakers with Bryant, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.

The Lakers are prepared to give up

It is possible the Carmelo and Lakers deal will not go through, reports ESPN. If this is the case, Andrew Bynum will probably be who the Lakers decide on. Interior scorers can have a hard time scoring with the size and mobility of Bynum. Nevertheless, the durability of him is questioned. According to ESPN, more players than just Anthony could be offered since salary is a major concern of the Nuggets right now. Also, the National Basketball Association requirements would all be filled with a straight up trade between Carmelo Anthony and Andrew Bynum.

Anthony trading ideas

In addition to the LA Lakers, the Denver Nuggets have engaged in intense Carmelo Anthony trade talk with the New York Knicks. None of the possible trades have occurred that several have speculated for months after a three team deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The health of Knicks forward Wilson Chandler is a big concern with the trade considering some calf and ankle injuries that occurred.
