Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony is already preparing for the season to begin.
Anthony, 37, signed a one-year deal for the minimum with the Lakers this offseason and is expected to have a prominent role as a catch-and-shoot threat.
Anthony drilled 40.9% of his 3s last season with the Portland Trail Blazers, a career-high mark for the longtime veteran. The quality of looks he’ll receive alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook should be even better than what he had last year.
