LeBron James attempted to recruit Carmelo Anthony to the Lakers, since their meeting in New York the Lakers have not reached a deal with the forward.
Anthony was considered a priority for the Lakers earlier in the season when they were looking to fill their roster, now with the team currently in 10th place for the Western Conference playoffs they appear to be focusing more on developing their young talent.
The next step for the Lakers seem to be to make a push for the playoffs with very little distractions, they’re now in what LeBron James would call “playoff mode”.
