    PORTLAND, Ore. (November 19, 2019) – The Portland Trail Blazers have signed veteran forward Carmelo Anthony, it was announced today by president of basketball operations Neil Olshey.


    “Carmelo is an established star in this league that will provide a respected presence in our locker room and a skill set at a position of need on the floor,” said Olshey


    Anthony, 35, holds career NBA averages of 24.0 points (44.9% FG, 34.7% 3-PT, 81.1% FT), 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.02 steals in 1,064 games (1,056 starts) over 16 seasons with Denver, New York, Oklahoma City and Houston.


    A 10-time NBA All-Star, Anthony (6-8, 240), has been named to an All-NBA team six times and was the 2012-13 NBA scoring champion. As a member of the USA Basketball Men’s National Team, Anthony has won three Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012, 2016) and one bronze medal (2004). Originally selected by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft, Anthony attended Syracuse where he won the 2003 NCAA Championship as a freshman.


    Among all-time NBA leaders, Anthony ranks 19th in points (25,551), 21st in field goals (9,137) and 41st in three-pointers (1,362). He is one of 11 players in NBA history with at least 25,000 points, 6,900 rebounds and 3,100 assists.


    He will wear No. 00 for the Trail Blazers.

    So - when does he actually play? I'm not sensing any urgency here.

    I suppose this could just be a PR stunt.

    At this point in his career, he should probably be referred to as an established shooting star.

    He is 35. We should play him smart. I say rest him for tonight. Let's do some smart load management - we need him for playoffs.

    They want to retire BRoy's number 7 would be my guess

    if they really want to do this, then do it. Stop messing around.

    They denied #7 to Skal last year as well.

    Yo in that video Melo posted though...

    His trainer “This summer it was my job to look at what actions they were running”

    and Melo talking about how we’ve been on the radar a while. So this has all been part of the plan? It’s because of injuries that he is coming sooner than expected?

    If this is true then let’s go!!!

    Dude was mauled by a media circus and it was in his head since the NY days. Maybe now he can just come out and ball, could be an amazing thing.

    I’m so ready for this shit, this season just got turned up to 100
