Get ready for the Carmelo Anthony-to-Cleveland trade talk heat up over the coming days, as the New York Knicks scoring machine was seen in a pickup game alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers’ dynamic point guard Kyrie Irving.
The scariest part of all was the pair of offensive maestros running a two-man offense together to devastating effect inside the gym. The pick-and-pop game was stunning to watch, and the shots were as pure as they come from both, as each star took turns in showing off their one-on-one talents.

After the Cavaliers missed out on superstars Jimmy Butler and Paul George, Anthony’s name has been continually linked with Northeast Ohio as the rumor mill continues to churn in a potential blockbuster deal that would see him team up with longtime friend LeBron James.
Cavs’ fans have been left frustrated with the lack of big names making their way to The Land, but there still may be hope in securing the services of the All-Star as the Cavs sort out who will lead their front office. Acquiring Anthony won’t be easy though. Standing in the Wine and Gold’s way is the attractive option to land in Houston and join the Rockets, who have just landed another one of Anthony’s friends in Chris Paul.
It has also been reported that Anthony would happily waive his no-trade clause to join either the Cavs or Rockets. With a buyout of his contract seemingly more unlikely as each day passes, it really comes down to which franchise will offer the Knicks the best deal to lure him away. With the Rockets seemingly leading the race for his signature, the Cavs must act fast in order to acquire his services.
Anthony could be a game changer for the Cavs especially if they meet their nemeses Golden State Warriors in a fourth straight NBA Finals. His versatility and ability to score at will could be a big factor in closing the gap with the Warriors, and a clip like this leaves Cavs fans salivating.
Only time will tell where Melo will end up, but one thing is for sure, it must have felt good receiving a dime off Uncle Drew and seeing that ball fall through nothing but net.
