Carmelo Anthony is expected to opt-out of his contract with the New York Knicks and become an unrestricted free agent.  There’s several teams knocking at his door including the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and a distant possibility, the Miami Heat.  But two teams that can really use his help are the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics according to Celtics star Rajon Rondo.

“I hate to say it, but he just might be [the missing piece],’’ Rondo said on ESPN’s Numbers Never Lie. “[The Bulls] have a great center in Joakim Noah who holds down the paint and one of the best pick-and-roll defenders in our league. And with Derrick Rose coming back, you have a Big Three in Chicago. Melo could be the missing piece, but if he does a move like that, we’ll have to figure out something in Boston.’’

Celtics president Danny Ainge could have draft pawns to pull off a sign-and-trade with the Knicks, but Anthony always has had a distaste for Boston and the Celtics seem far from being title contenders.

However, Rondo said: “You never know what Danny’s capable of doing. I can’t tell you too much. We want to turn it around next year. Danny has a lot of wiggle room the past couple of years with what he’s done in the draft. Hopefully [Anthony] won’t go to Chicago.

“I think after we try to get Melo and add an additional piece, who knows? The sky’s the limit. I play to try to win a championship every year. With Melo, I think it’s very possible.”
