Professional Basketball Team Interested In Trade For Professional Basketball's Carmelo Anthony

NEW YORK—Citing his excellence in shooting, passing, dribbling, and jumping, a professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association announced its interest Tuesday in acquiring the services of professional basketball player Carmelo Anthony for the 2010-2011 season. “Carmelo Anthony simply makes a high percentage of his basketball shots, which puts him in the top tier of the 450 basketball players currently filling salaried positions in the league,” a general manager of a professional basketball team told reporters. “We would be willing to trade two or even three of our professional basketball players in order to place Carmelo Anthony in our employ, for which we would in turn pay him a large sum of money.” The general manager added that while Anthony is a very good professional basketball player, he would of course rather have signed professional basketball player LeBron James.
