This season's NBA has ended, the Lakers are obviously the loser, Jenny Bass spent a lot of money to bring in Wei Shao to form the big three, pay the highest luxury tax in the history of the team, but in exchange for the record that can't bear to look at, not only did not enter the playoffs, but also was killed by the city's remnant Clippers four times, such an ending is difficult for fans to accept. The reasons for the Lakers' defeat are very complicated, although Jenny Bass fired Vogel at the first time, but the clear-eyed people can see that he is a backhander, and the real reason is two, namely the injury of the core players and the aging of the lineup.
James and Thick Brow are frequently injured, especially the latter, which plays the glass man to the fullest, and once the team has a crisis, it is difficult for the squad to form vitality, and these veterans have no heart and can only watch the team lose one game after another. It can be seen that the Lakers must make targeted adjustments next, the lineup is particularly critical, it has been determined that Howard and Anthony will not stay in the team, the former is said to contact the Warriors, and the latter wants to return to the Knicks, multiple sources have confirmed.
Some time ago, the Knicks management discussed Anthony's return to New York, the team is very welcoming to him, and Anthony is also interested in returning to the Knicks, although this team is not where his dream began, but it also has great significance for Anthony's career, most of the outside world believes that once the Lakers do not provide a contract for Anthony, the Knicks are his first choice. So why does Anthony want to return to the Knicks? In addition to having played here before, there are other reasons.
First of all, Anthony was born in New York, that is to say, the Knicks are his hometown team, there are many stars in the league who are willing to play for their hometown teams, such as Westbrook and Leonard, etc., obviously Anthony is no exception, if he returns to New York, he will get a perfect retirement season, in the applause of hometown fans. Anthony must return to the Knicks, and during his career, only the Nuggets and Knicks have a chance to retire his jersey.
The Nuggets don't have to think about it, Anthony's No. 15 jersey can't be hung in the Pepsi Center Arena, because Jokic is currently wearing the No. 15 jersey to play for the Nuggets, considering that Mr. Jokic is a two-time regular season MVP winner, the Nuggets' future team core, Anthony can't have killed Jokic, and the Nuggets don't have the conditions to retire Anthony's No. 15 jersey. The Knicks are left, and it's not easy to hang the jersey in Madison Square Garden, at least Anthony's closing season will be spent here, so it is indeed possible for Anthony to return to the Knicks.
