The #Lakers and Carmelo Anthony appear to be moving closer to a deal. @wojespn also just said a deal could come as soon as today. #Knicks have gotten involved, but source tells @HoopAnalysisNet, that Melo is still expected to land in L.A.

Woj: Melo to ‘Lakers’ likely

People have a problem with Melo for the same reason you had a problem with Allen Iverson…
In other words, some people are just uncomfortable with how others behave…
Judging black man on how they dress or an ‘attitude’ problem is American as Apple Pie.
So rather than change behaviour. We’ll just switch boogeymen
I love this potentiality. We need size and clutchosity: Melo has both and can still hit shots from anywhere off the pass. Need Melo and Kieff but may have to settle for one or the other.
I like it too. Particularly if Melo and Patty are in the fold. You’d have (3) high volume 3 pt shooters to aggregate around Russ
Lots of observers believe Melo would start at the 3 for the Lakers.
I do not like that defensivelyi. We need a true 3&D wing to start at the three for the Lakers to win. That’s not Melo.
Whoever said he should be a starter should be cut-off. He’s a 4 off the bench. Pure and simple role for him.
