Twitter objects to LeBron's reported interest in landing Carmelo
Even the slightest hint that LeBron James would be open to the Los Angeles Lakers possibly acquiring Carmelo Anthony is enough to send the Twittersphere into a frenzy.
The Athletic's Joe Vardon reported Thursday that James would like to get Anthony on the roster, although he hasn't made a formal request to the front office, nor does he intend to.
Considering Anthony's uninspired runs with the Houston Rockets this season and the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2017-18, Lakers supporters were nevertheless opposed to the idea of the 34-year-old forward donning the purple and gold.

I was never a Lebron fan but I'm a Laker fan so I basically had to accept the fact he was a Laker now
