Carmelo 'better fit than LeBron' for the Knicks

Not only does Carmelo Anthony apparently have his heart set on playing in New York, but a close confidant of the NBA superstar told The Post yesterday that he is a better fit for the Big Apple than LeBron James.

"Nothing would bother him," the confidant said of Anthony playing here. "The media wouldn't bother him because he really likes people. The pressure wouldn't bother him because he loves to have the game in his hands. Nothing bothers him."

Carmelo could force trade to Knicks this season: report

It seems more and more likely Carmelo Anthony will not sign a contract extension with the Nuggets, which likely will force the team to trade him, perhaps to the Knicks.

ESPN.com reported last night that Anthony is "going to make it real clear that he's not coming back" to Denver, according to an NBA source.

"Both Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke and Anthony already are well aware that they don't have a future together, sources say. That became clear to Kroenke at a reception after Anthony's July 11 (wedding) to La La Vasquez in Manhattan," the report says.

Bosh feeling the Heat

ESPN is reporting Chris Bosh will sign with the Miami Heat. (Toronto Sun files)

Chris Bosh will be joining Dwyane Wade as a member of the Miami Heat -- as was widely expected.

ESPN's Chris Broussard first reported the package deal and multiple sources with access to Wade quickly confirmed.

CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT BOSH TO HEAT IN SIGN-AND-TRADE DEAL

The Chris Bosh era in Toronto may be officially over.

ESPN's NBA contributor Dan LeBatard reports that the Raptors are poised to complete a sign-and-trade deal with Miami that would see Bosh go to the Heat for power forward Michael Beasley, point guard Mario Chalmers and forward Joel Anthony.

According to Lebatard's Twitter message on Wednesday, Bosh and fellow potential free agent Wade share the same agent so there's no tampering involved.

Bosh wanting to be 'the man' in free agency

Chris Bosh isn't waiting for some summit to determine his landing spot next season. The soon-to-be Toronto Raptors free agent is determined to chart his own course and forge his own identity apart from the star-studded field of peers also entering the open market.

"I don't want to be mentioned as an addition to a team," Bosh said prior to the season. "I want to be mentioned as the guy that people want to center their team around."

Raptors Cleaning House?

he past few weeks I’ve been calling around to every team in the league gathering draft info. Out of all those conversations, one thing that is becoming clear: The Raptors have been the most aggressive team in the league this summer in seeking out all sorts of trades. At this point it’s conceivable that the team could end up trading three of its five starters this summer.

Turkoglu rumour mill still churning

Two things were for certain the moment Hedo Turkoglu’s desire to leave the Raptors became public last month.

There would be rumours all around and the Raptors would not comment on any of them.

Reports this week that Turkoglu would welcome a trade to the Sacramento Kings were not unexpected, nor was the no comment coming from Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo, who has consistently avoided discussing the delicate issue.
