NBA Twitter Reacts To Blazers Signing Carmelo Anthony
NBA Twitter Reacts To Blazers Signing Carmelo Anthony
It’s been almost a year since Carmelo Anthony last laced out his shoes for an NBA game, but, now it’s for certain; Melo is back!
The Portland Trail Blazers and Anthony have agreed on a non guaranteed, one-year contract, that gives Melo the chance to prove that he still got some gas left in his tank.
These past few seasons haven’t really been ideal for Carmelo Anthony.
After a rough year in Oklahoma City, Melo was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-way deal, but never played a minute for the Hawks, and was bought out of his contract. Houston then signed him and was hopeful that he could improve their team.
That only lasted a couple of weeks, before Carmelo Anthony’s services were no longer required in Houston. He was the easy scapegoat for how subpar and dysfunctional the Rockets were. Melo hasn’t played an NBA game ever since.
As soon as Woj delivered the breaking news last night, NBA Twitter went on a field trip. Check it out.

Before Melo: +3900

The Blazers, negotiating with Carmelo Anthony:
Melo: “Would I have to play defense?”
POR: “No.”
Melo: “Would I have to pass?”
POR: “No.”
Melo: “What happens if I launch a bunch of bricks in the playoffs?”
POR: “That would mean you’re fitting right in.”
Melo: “Sweet! Deal!”
