Carmelo Anthony 'torn' between Knicks, Lakers, Bulls Frank Isola from NY Daily(他似乎跟尼克FO有过不满，所以报导上不会偏尼克) http://ppt.cc/RqNQ 大意： 公牛虽然不透过sign and trade，能开出的合约比尼克跟湖人小很多，但是公牛在东 区、也是大城市而且又是当中最具备夺冠可能的，所以公牛还没出局。 Knicks president Phil Jackson, despite hints to the contrary, offered Anthony a max deal of five years, $129 million. The best the Bulls can do is $75 million over four years. If it was just about taking the most money, Anthony already would have announced his intentions to rejoin the Knicks. But Anthony is intrigued by the Bulls as well as the Lakers, who have the ability to give Anthony a max deal ($96 million) over four years. Carmelo Anthony is "torn" over where to spend the prime years of his career, according to a friend of the Knicks All Star forward. Anthony, 30, is still debating his next move with the Knicks, Lakers and the Bulls as his top three choices, the source claims. Chicago is still in the running despite the fact that the Bulls, barring a sign-and-trade, cannot come close to matching the max deals the Knicks and Lakers offered Anthony last week. However, the Bulls do allow Anthony to stay in the Eastern Conference, play in the large market and join a contending team. Knicks president Phil Jackson, despite hints to the contrary, offered Anthony a max deal of five years, $129 million. The best the Bulls can do is $75 million over four years. If it was just about taking the most money, Anthony already would have announced his intentions to rejoin the Knicks. But Anthony is intrigued by the Bulls as well as the Lakers, who have the ability to give Anthony a max deal ($96 million) over four years. Anthony also lives in Los Angeles during the off-season and is friends with Kobe Bryant. It is believed that if Anthony were to sign with the Lakers, Pau Gasol would likely re-sign with the purple and gold. Anthony has been consistent throughout the season that his top priority is winning hence his interest in the Bulls. And although the Lakers are coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history, the organization does have a winning tradition as well as a history of attracting top players to their market. As of Monday, a scenario emerged involving Anthony possibly joining LeBron James in Miami. For that to happen, Chris Bosh would first have to sign with the Houston Rockets thus creating additional cap space for the Heat to sign LeBron and Anthony as well as Dwyane Wade. It is also being reported that James is seriously considering a return to Cleveland although it appears that Miami is still the favorite to re-sign the NBA's top player. Anthony has given no indication as to when he will decide his future. Throughout last season, Anthony repeatedly said that he enjoyed playing and living in New York and that it would be hard for him to leave. He also suggested that he would consider taking less money to which Jackson repeatedly challenged Anthony, publicly, to stay true to his word. How that was received by Anthony is unclear. He did say two weeks ago that he had a "great meeting" with Jackson, who last Friday offered Anthony a max deal to remain in New York. --
