According to Joe Vardon of The Atlantic, LeBron thinks Carmelo can still play and wants him on the Lakers.
A second report from Bleacher Report’s Brad Turner says Melo’s people hit up the Lakers and the Lakers told them they have no interest in him.
Both things could be true, LeBron could be telling people he wants Melo, but hasn’t expressed that to Lakers because he knows they have already told Melo they have no interest.
As of right now Melo is still on the Rockets searching for new team.
