The Portland Trail Blazers have interest in trading for Carmelo Anthony.

The Blazers were previously believed to be a team that could help facilitate a trade of Anthony by the New York Knicks to the Houston Rockets.

The Blazers believe Anthony would give the team as much depth to compete in the second tier of the Western Conference behind the Golden State Warriors.

Portland has little desire to help Anthony be traded to the Rockets.

Anthony hasn't expressed a willingness to expand his list of teams he'd accept a trade to beyond the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers.
