Carmelo Anthony spoke on the LeBron James to Golden State Warriors trade rumors
Following the NBA trade deadline, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne reported that the Golden State Warriors checked on the trade availability of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
Reacting to this on an episode of his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Denver Nuggets legend Carmelo Anthony said the Warriors wouldn't have won a championship had they made this deal:
"I don't think so," Anthony said. "Because, guess what? If LeBron is going to Golden State, you gotta build another team... Klay [Thompson] is gone. They can't stay. It's going to be them two and [Jonathan] Kuminga... You get what I'm saying?"
This would ultimately be the biggest obstacle the Warriors would face when it comes to facilitating a deal for James, as they would have to find a package that would not only be attractive to the Lakers, but also not gut their own roster.
