Many trades have been taking place in the NBA in the last week, and rumors recently surfaced noting that Carmelo Anthony may return to the New York Knicks. However, those rumors have been debunked as it was revealed that Melo will reportedly re-sign with the Portland Trailblazers.
Melo spent the last season with the Blazers, who gave him a shot after a storied attempt to get back in the NBA for years prior. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Melo is finalizing a deal to return to the Blazers for another season.
Charania said, “Anthony wanted to show loyalty to the Trail Blazers, who gave him his opportunity to return to the NBA last season. He understands what to expect in Portland, where he will play a key role on a potential contender.” Previously, Melo spoke about how the Blazers gave him the opportunity he needed at the time, saying the move helped him “figure out me at the end of the day and to get my mind right.”
