Carmelo Anthony met with the Mavericks in Dallas at owner Mark Cuban’s house on Wednesday, shortly after his meeting with the Rockets. While his meeting in Houston lasted about 6 hours, his chat with Dallas only took about 2. The Mavericks are reportedly trying to sell Melo on playing with a front line of Dirk Nowitzki and Anthony’s former teammate Tyson Chandler.
Carmelo Anthony is in Houston this afternoon to meet with the Rockets. Dwight Howard is expected to be part of Houston’s pitch. Melo met with Chicago yesterday and will meet with the Dallas Mavericks later this evening.

Carmelo Anthony is currently at the United Center in Chicago to meet with the Bulls. Chicago is considered the Knicks’ main competition for Anthony. Joakim Noah is expected to take part in the Bulls’ pitch to the former scoring champ.

The Knicks have opted not to give a $1 million qualifying offer to Toure Murry, which will make him an unrestricted free agent at midnight. Murry is a point guard with good size who impressed on defense and with his athleticism. Toure is not very good on offense, at least not yet, and this might be the reason for the Knicks’ decision.
Murray might return to New York, but other teams will probably get in the picture and the Knicks no longer have the right to match any offer for his services.
