ESPN’s Bill Simmons is reporting that the L.A. Lakers made a huge impression on Carmelo Anthony, and have turned the sweepstakes into the race for the Knicks star into a three team battle.
Hearing the Lakers made a MAJOR impact on Melo this week – it's now a legit 3-way battle between LA/Chi/NYK to land him. Crazy NBA weekend.

I believe the storied history of the franchise along with Melo’s relationship with Kobe Bryant might be giving him something to think about.
