Charles Oakley says Carmelo Anthony should stay far away from the Lakers when he looks for a new NBA home … telling TMZ Sports, the future ex-Knick needs to play for a contender.
There have been rumors that L.A. could be a destination for the All-Star … who has final say in where he plays ’cause of a no-trade clause in his contract.
Oak was leaving Catch in L.A. when we brought up the possibility of Melo joining the Lake Show … and if that’d be a good fit for Anthony and the organization.
Hell no, Oak says … ’cause Carmelo needs to play for a title contender, and L.A. just ain’t got the pieces … even with Melo on the squad.
We also got Oakley’s opinion on Lonzo and LaVar Ball … and, unlike previous ballers like Dennis Rodman, C.O. is fully supportive of the Ball fam.
