REPORT: Carmelo Anthony to re-sign with Trail Blazers

After the Portland Trail Blazers signed Derrick Jones, Jr. and brought back Rodney Hood, many wondered if that spelled the end of Carmelo Anthony’s run in Rip City.
Not so fast, my friend.
Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting Carmelo is coming back to the Blazers as a loyalty move on a possible contender.

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. https://t.co/3AiNteh9GN

It remains to be seen of Anthony still has his preference/demand to be in the starting lineup, but his presence alone, with clutch shot-making, is a welcome return to Rip City.
