All quiet on Anthony front

大意：

公牛有跟Gasol談過，跟CP、PP、Marion、Deng跟Ariza，以及Kirk、Sessions以及DJA
等人的經紀人接觸。

When a tweet from a senior associate athletic director at UCLA moves the NBA
free agency needle, it's a slow news day.

Carmelo Anthony kept the five teams vying for his services waiting on Sunday,
which isn't good for anxious executives or fans hitting their refresh button
on Twitter.

At one point, Josh Rebholz, the UCLA athletic director, sent speculation into
overdrive when he tweeted that Anthony, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Love played
pickup basketball at the Westwood, Calif., school. Never mind that all three
live in Los Angeles in the offseason, are Olympic teammates and UCLA is a
hotbed for offseason games. This seemed enough for some to conclude Anthony
had chosen the Lakers.

This is known: As of Sunday evening, the Bulls hadn't been informed of any
decision from Anthony. And unlike some who are living and dying with each
speculative twist and turn to this saga, Bulls management merely methodically
kept working on contingency plans to improve whether or not Anthony comes.

Some of those have been documented. The Bulls met with Pau Gasol, who turned
34 Sunday, on Thursday in Los Angeles. They have begun preliminary
negotiations with Nikola Mirotic, their 2011 draft-day acquisition who is now
more likely to join the Bulls this season than next.

And they kept dialogue open with representatives for a multitude of small
forwards should they fail to land Anthony. The Bulls have touched base with
agents for Chandler Parsons, Paul Pierce, Shawn Marion, Luol Deng and Trevor
Ariza, among others.

They also remain in the market for a backup point guard and have talked to
representatives for Kirk Hinrich, D.J. Augustin and Ramon Sessions, among
others. Though Derrick Rose, by all accounts, looks great in his full-court
workouts, the Bulls hope to secure veteran backup help to take defensive and
ballhandling pressure off him.

Coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed on draft night that Rose will participate in
the Bulls' summer-league minicamp this week. By then, Anthony likely will
have revealed his decision. Whether he's a Bull, Rose's recovery and return
to form will remain as essential as any ingredient for success next season.
