NBA Rumours: 3 veteran Free Agents the Los Angeles Lakers could still sign

#1 Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony will be motivated by the prospect of finally linking up with LeBron James

Carmelo Anthony has been linked with the Lakers at various points during his illustrious career and the 10-time All-Star almost headed to LA last season. A deal eventually broke down after the Lakers fell out of playoff contention, although Melo has yet to find a team and speculation continues to intensify.

In terms of his potential impact, Anthony has not played a competitive game since departing the Houston Rockets last November but continues to work out in an attempt to remain sharp. At this point in his career, a reserve role would suit Melo and the former All-Star could prove a huge weapon as part of their second unit.

Ultimately, Melo will be motivated by the prospect of competing for a title alongside James and could offer the Lakers at least one season of good basketball.
