At one point over the summer, Carmelo Anthony says he decided to sign with the Chicago Bulls.
“It was one part of time where I was just like, ‘Yo, I’m going,'” Anthony said in a documentary detailing his free agency that aired Tuesday night on MSG Network.
Carmelo Anthony was torn between the Knicks and Bulls over the summer. “He goes to bed one night saying he wants to go to Chicago. He wakes up the next day saying New York,” Anthony’s manager Bay Frazier said in a documentary. “And then he’s stuck again.”
“It came down to Chicago and New York. Chicago was the one that, from day one, was something that I was very impressed with. They was looking for a person like me to come in and just take them to the next level,” Anthony said. “So it was perfect. It was a perfect setup, perfect fit for me in Chicago. But then also I had to think about just living in Chicago. Do I want to live in Chicago? Do I want to take everything that I created in New York and move all of that? It came down to that.”
