This has been a pretty hot topic the past couple days. There were reports Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls was informally recruiting Carmelo Anthony to leave the Knicks and come to Chicago this summer. Allegedly the two had had a convo during all star weekend in New Orleans when Noah told Melo if he wants a ring he needs to come to the Bulls. We finally heard from Noah today. Hit the jump.

“You want me to address that?” Noah said at Friday’s shootaround in response to a question about an ESPN.com report Thursday that said he told Anthony he could win a championship if he signed with the Bulls as a free agent after the season. “I don’t feel like addressing it. I really have nothing to say about it.”
Noah was asked if the reported recruiting pitch for Anthony had, in fact, happened, and he didn’t deny the conversation took place.
“Doesn’t matter,” Noah said. “What does that have to do with our team right now? It doesn’t matter.”
Remember, Noah can not really admit to that happening because it may violate tampering rules between teams in the NBA.
