The Chicago Bulls are reportedly the main contenders to land Carmelo Anthony if he decides to leave the New York Knicks. He would be teaming up with former MVP Derrick Rose, Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah and a great coach in Tom Thibodeau whom he admires. With the clock winding down, Thibodeau decided to aid in the process.
via Chicago Sun-Times:
The Bulls’ push to acquire New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony is heating up heading into NBA draft week, and perhaps no one wants his services more than coach Tom Thibodeau.
According to one of Anthony’s former coaches, Thibodeau has reached out to him and to several other coaches who have worked with Anthony with numerous calls. …
That the Bulls are in full-court-press mode on Anthony comes as no surprise, considering center Joakim Noah courted him during All-Star Weekend in February and continued the recruitment throughout the second half of the season.
And it would seem Noah isn’t alone. Point guard Derrick Rose reportedly has gotten involved, too, and Thibodeau has used back channels to let Anthony know his addition could mean big things for everyone involved.
