Nevertheless, a further two months have passed since LeBron’s comments, and Carmelo is no closer to being a Laker.

Anthony has failed to attract any serious interest since being told that he had no future in Houston, and the Rockets eventually had to send cash considerations to Chicago in order to offload the 10-time All-Star. Anthony was immediately waived by the Bulls, and the 34-year-old is now running out of time to find a home for the remainder of the season.

While the Lakers have explored the possibility of signing Anthony, Brandon Robinson has reported that Magic Johnson’s priorities changed after failing to sign Anthony Davis:

While the Lakers remain active in the buyout market, the team has already missed out on top targets such as Enes Kanter and Markieff Morris. Evidently, at this point Anthony is not the Lakers first choice, however, with the pool of available players dwindling by the day, Melo could land in Los Angeles by default.
