Carmelo Anthony set to become a free agent, but don't expect a Bulls courtship 4 years later

Four years later it appears Carmelo Anthony will be available again.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to move on from Anthony, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Anthony, who opted in to his $27.9 million contract for the upcoming season, would have cost the Thunder more than $100 million because of luxury tax implications, so the move is hardly surprising. Anthony struggled in his first and only season with the Thunder, averaging a career-low 16.2 points on 40 percent shooting as the third option to Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

But four years after the Bulls attempted to woo Anthony into signing alongside Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, don't expect a courtship between the two sides.
