Carmelo Anthony has been getting quite a few recruiting calls from Joakim
Noah over the past week, but according to people close to the Knicks star, he
hasn’t returned one of them.
We’re guessing Anthony might call Noah back after he officially opts out of
his contract with the Knicks, no later than Monday. Maybe he leaks it out
that he was talking to Noah, too. It’s easy to see why. Anthony wants to be
recruited by the Bulls on July 1 so that he can get Jim Dolan to intercede on
his behalf and tell Phil Jackson he needs to bring Anthony back, at any cost.
That’s our theory and we’re sticking to it. Anthony doesn’t really want to
leave New York, any more than LeBron James wants to leave the Heat. Melo has
it too good here and isn’t ready to abdicate his throne when he’s only
turned 30.
He hasn’t liked some of Jackson’s comments regarding his plans to opt out
and Jackson saying that Anthony should take less money to re-sign. Phil does
talk as if he’s won 11 titles. But those comments are not considered to be
deal-breakers by someone who loves playing on the NBA’s biggest stage and isn
’t ready to walk away from the Garden.
Noah will be disappointed if it turns out that Anthony uses the Bulls merely
to get Dolan to up the Knicks’ offer. But one of his teammates won’t be
crushed. Derrick Rose hasn’t called Anthony once and isn’t expected to do
any recruiting when the Bulls make their run at the Knicks’ top scorer in
free agency.
According to sources close to Kevin Love, Rose’s preference is for the Bulls
to work out a deal as soon as possible for Minnesota’s All-Star forward
because he sees Love as more of a team player than Anthony. Chicago is in the
mix with Golden State for Love, with Boston and Denver considered long shots.
If it makes any difference to Melo, Rose has no plans to recruit Love, who is
free next summer, either. But the Bulls already know whom he’d really prefer
to play with in the future.
Noah最近频频打电话向瓜瓜发出招募邀请，但亲近瓜瓜的消息人士透露，瓜瓜一直都没回
Noah的电话。《纽约每日新闻》的记者Mitch Lawrence认为其实瓜瓜的内心并没打算离开
尼克，他只是想等尼克老板Jim Dolan亲自出马，要求禅师不惜一切代价将他留下，借此
来避免续约遭降薪的结果。
Mitch Lawrence还说：“事实上，瓜瓜内心根本就没打算过离开纽约，他转队的机率比
LBJ还要小很多，他还不到30岁，显然不想早早就失去自己的王权和领袖地位。”
还有消息说公牛的Rose对联手瓜瓜兴趣并不是很大，他更想要和Love做队友，因为他认为
Love是一个比瓜瓜更好的团队型球员。
