I would love to see Carmelo Anthony in Chicago. Carmelo Anthony and a healthy Derrick Rose with an already great defensive team will certainly make the Bulls a championship contender. I think neither player will end up in LA. The Lakers need to follow the 76ers approach and rebuild through the draft and become good within the next couple of years. Yes it sucks as Lakers fans aren't as patient as 76ers fans but it would be much better for the long term if the Lakers start rebuilding now as they already have a high pick(#7) in the upcoming draft.

No one really cares about the Lakers anymore. Love should come to the Knicks.
Anthony has the opportunity to sign a max contract but wants to play for a winner. Love is only leaving Minnesota because he wants to go to the playoffs for the first time in his career. None of those things will exist for the Lakers for a long time, or the Knicks.
I'm certain one of these two are going to end up in LA, my question is if you had to choose who would you go after?
Kevin Love seems to be the easy choice. But we know what Melo is capable of which makes it a difficult decision (for me anyway)... who you going with?
I don't really see any top free agents wanting to play for LA at this stage of their rebuild.
This is a much much kinder assessment than what you will read around the internet from various sports reports that have had conversations with various agents.
Only if Melo leaves.....there is no money for Love.
Also, about 40% of the Knicks money goes to Amare and Bargnani.
Love said he wanted to join a winner, not the worst run franchise in the NBA.
P.S. Before you mention PJ....he still has to fix the past damage which will take years....and that assumes the Dolans don't C-block him and muck things up.
Give me LeBron from this summers' top picks anyday. The drive to win games, man, LeBron is one lethal guy on the court in the post-season. If I had to pick one of these two, them Carmelo. I know what Carmelo plays like when it's May, last three seasons he's played for his life (sadly by himself on his team). So at least I know what to expect out of him.
