It's going to be an interesting week in sports with the start of the NBA Trade and Draft 2014. This year's trade rumors have New York Knick Carmelo Anthony's name on several NBA teams' radar.

Several reports had been saying that Anthony's future lies with the Chicago Bulls, "From everything I'm hearing, Carmelo has spent a significant amount of time researching the Bulls and their team and what it's like to live in the city of Chicago. He's been making calls and talking to people about it. The Bulls have been preparing their pitch, doing background research on what it's going to take... As of right now, I think Carmelo Anthony has his eyes locked on Chicago," said Brian Windhorst per ESPN.

According to reports, Anthony also considers the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat, but most reports have Anthony linked to the Chicago Bulls. Being a highly anticipated free agent, "Anthony can sign a maximum contract worth $129 million over five years with the Knicks. He can ink a maximum deal worth $96 million over four years with another team," stated basketball.realgm.com

On the part of the Bulls, CSN Chicago's Kevin Anderson suggests, "The Bulls can give themselves an additional $800k in space by drafting a European player like Clint Capela with the 19th overall pick and then entering an agreement with Capela that he won't play in the NBA next season. By agreeing, a drafted player won't come over that season, NBA teams gain immediate cap space equal to that draft slot's rookie salary. It's a near guarantee that this is happening and every mock draft you see that has the Bulls taking two American players at No. 16 and No. 19 is wrong. $800k may seem like nothing, but it could be the difference in landing Anthony," he said to bleacherreport.com

Anthony with a Player Impact Estimation (PIE) of 16.2% is listed as one of the top Free Agent players this year. Rumors are spreading around that Anthony, despite his heart set for New York, is inspired to win the championship this year.
