Anthony won't play a game for the Bulls, league source tells ESPN. He will be released and become a free agent if he clears waivers.

We're getting robbed of the chance to see a Melo/Jabari defensive duo in action.

Jabari Parker will finally get the mentor he deserves.

Now that Melo will be free for anyone tp pick up after the Bulls buy him out, I can see him joining the Sixers. Their front office has been repeatedly hinting that they have been patiently waiting for the buyout market to strengthen their roster.

Any interest from the C's for Melo? I know he's one of the very few player that Mike Gorman hates with a passion, and I can't see Melo making any effort to play defense or pass the ball in Steven's system, but you never know.

you really have to know celtics trivia to recall this second round pick.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

This should make Robin Lopez a little happier. ::)

I'd be very surprised if he goes to the Sixers.  Coach Brown's mantra is defense, pace and space.  Melo doesn't tick any of those boxes.  He'd be a detriment to their playoff hopes.

Dewayne Dedmon is another buyout candidate, and he would look great on the Sixers imo.
