Exclusive! Inside The Bulls’ Plan To Get ‘Melo

Another Beachwood Special Report

“The United Center signage that greeted Carmelo Anthony featured the All-Star free agent in his preferred headband, an item typically banned by the Bulls,” the Tribune reports.

“Yes, the Bulls did everything they could in their lengthy Tuesday pitch to Anthony, leaving no detail uncovered.”
