Knicks Rumors: Chicago the "frontrunner" for Melo, Knicks remain confident

In today's look into Knicks rumors, the prevailing notion around the NBA is that New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony is destined to become a Chicago Bull - leaving an extra year and over $30 million in financial security in New York.

According to Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders, the Chicago Bulls are emerging as prime contenders in the Melo sweepstakes:

As Kennedy notes, things can definitely change. Just a day ago, reports out of New York indicated that the Knicks feel quite good about their chances of retaining Melo - even going so far as Knicks president Phil Jackson looking to set up a potential Carmelo Anthony/Pau Gasol combination at Madison Square Garden.

Per several sources close to the situation, Melo is expected to survey his options during the first week-and-a-half of free agency, with a decision expected near the end of the second week of July.
