Forget Tokyo-- The REAL Team USA Basketball Team Will Be in Los Angeles This Fall!

Carmelo Anthony will team up with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook on the Los Angeles Lakers next season.

Over the past two days, it was revealed that lots of players—both Lakers veterans and newcomers to the team—will be playing in Los Angeles during the 2021-'22 NBA season.

Wayne Ellington, Dwight Howard and Trevor Ariza (who won two titles with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol over a decade ago) will be re-signing with the Lakers, while 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony will be joining the Lake Show for a one-year stint.

Kendrick Nunn, whose Miami Heat battled the Lakers in the 2020 NBA Finals, will be playing in Los Angeles on a two-year contract.

I have no clue what Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and LeBron James have been saying to lure all of these high-caliber NBA players to the City of Angels, but more power to them!

Here's hoping that this Lakers squad will be like LeBron's Miami Heat almost ten years ago, and not last season's Brooklyn Nets come the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Carry on!
