Carmelo Anthony kicked off his tour of potential free agent destinations Tuesday with a visit to Chicago. He got the usual treatment -- mock-ups of his image, a tour of the facilities, dinner with personnel -- and possibly one unusual treat. From Alex Kennedy:
While Rose had went on the record saying that he wasn't going recruit Anthony to Chicago, he was very involved in the team's courtship of the superstar free agent, according to sources close to the situation. While at the facility, sources say that Rose went through a private workout to show Anthony that he's healthy and ready to compete at a high level next season.
The report was disputed by K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, who suggested Rose came before Anthony for a normal rehabilitation workout. But if true, that's Derrick Rose -- one of the best basketball players on Earth -- doing basketball drills in front of Carmelo Anthony -- one of the best basketball players on Earth -- to prove that he's healthy enough to play basketball. Melo is one of very few people to enjoy this spectacle in months.
