Chris Bosh: Carmelo Anthony in Miami 'very unlikely'
As the drama surrounding New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony swirls throughout the week, reports have begun to heat up that the Miami Heat may have a trick planned up their sleeve to lure him to South Beach.
Heat forward Chris Bosh quelled the fever slightly on Thursday, pointing out the obvious long shot of such a situation occurring.
Chris Bosh tells Miami Herald's Barry Jackson he, LeBron and Wade have never discussed bringing in Carmelo. "It's very, very unlikely."

After the great free agency coup of 2010 nothing should be ruled out, but there are a number of hurdles that have to be cleared for this discussion to have any merit at all.
LeBron, Wade, and Bosh would all have to opt-out of their contracts as well, and leave more than $6 million each on the table per year in their next contract, and Melo would have to pass up nearly $10 million yearly.
Still, it's fun to dream.
