Kendrick Perkins Says LeBron Wanted Carmelo Anthony On The Cavs And The Team Said No

Carmelo Anthony is neither retired from the NBA, nor on a roster anywhere, which has led many to speculate why LeBron James hasn’t coaxed his good friend into the Lakers.

LeBron’s former teammate, and now ESPN personality Kendrick Perkins, revealed on Wednesday that The King tried pulling strings in the past to get ‘Melo on the same team as him.

How do you know Bron haven’t went to the Lakers and told them to sign Melo? I’ve witnessed GMs Tell Bron no several times! Bron tried to get Melo in Cleveland and the Cavs told him no!

Looks like ‘Melo won’t be suiting up with the Purple and Gold anytime soon.
