#2 Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the preferred destinations for Carmelo. He thinks now with LeBron James also there, they can finally team up and lead the Lakers onto a title after a long long time. The Lakers also have the cap space and if LeBron wants to play with Carmelo, he will play with Carmelo.
The only problem seems to be that the Lakers already have a lot of established wings in James, Ingram, Kuzma, the latter of which are young and will only get better with time. The Lakers also have the contract of Luol Deng, which has been giving them headaches for a while. Taking on another bad contract this free agency would mean no other changes can happen for the Lakers this offseason.
