    Management would be honest with us if the said this same thing.

    Bulls' management? You really think so?

    Their actions suggest your quote, exactly.

    Carmelo Anthony*remained a free agent Wednesday night, the day before players can start signing contracts with NBA teams.

    Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, told ESPN that his client "hasn't made a decision yet" as of Wednesday afternoon. "No decision yet," another source said. "Still up in air."

    I'm going to guess that Anthony's prepared to stay in NY and get big $$$, but is possibly waiting around for the faint hopes that an opportunity opens for him to join up with another star for a new super team that he can jump on. He doesn't want to close his options. I can't believe that it's taken him this long to decide between teams he's already pretty familiar with.

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS

    The Knicks have still not been informed of a decision by Carmelo Anthony, league source says.

    Don't think there's been any sign-and-trade talks. #Bulls need Carmelo to commit first, which could get that ball rolling.

    Hearing Tom Thibodeau is playing a major role in keeping Carmelo Anthony interested in Bulls.

    @KBergCBS: Carmelo Anthony's intentions have not been communicated to the Bulls, source says. But Chicago has cap-clearing moves teed up.

    What’s going on with the second-most-sought-after free agent on the market? Stephen A. Smith on ESPN Chicago: I got a call. ‘Look, something has come up. Something is in the mix. Melo is having second thoughts. I don’t know what’s going on, but this is what it is.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ They said, ‘Chicago.’ Suddenly, Chicago is on the mind. I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. You’ve got to be kidding me.’ And this is somebody that is incredibly close to Carmelo Anthony who I completely trust as a source. This is what he was telling me. Couldn’t explain why, but just said, ‘Chicago is not out of the mix.’ NBCSports.com

    SAS has talked down Chicago all the way through this. Has been Miami/ny. Then Miami/ny/LA and even mentioned HST a little.

    I read tonight that Melo really wants to stay in NY. That is and always will be his home, but he doesn't want another 37 win season again. That could happen.

    Hard to tell what is a negotiating tactic and what is real, but if the Bulls land him for less $$$$ than he would make elsewhere, the FO and especially Thibs it seems gets crazy props.

    He's staying with the Knicks. No source...just my continuing opinion.
