CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls pulled out all the stops in the recruitment of Carmelo Anthony on the opening day of NBA free agency on Tuesday, including the participation of Derrick Rose, who previously said he would not be part of a sales pitch to any free agent.

Rose declined comment as he left the United Center on Tuesday afternoon. A source termed the meetings, which included appearances from Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Rose, as "good." It's unclear how much each player spoke.

Rose has long maintained a reluctance to recruit free agents to play with him in Chicago and told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday that, while praising Anthony, it's "not his job" to sell players on the Bulls. But Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that every player would be available to meet with free agents if needed.

Anthony rode with Thibodeau to the United Center, and when Anthony arrived at the Bulls' home, he was greeted by a picture of himself in a Bulls uniform wearing his No. 7. The marquee in the front of the stadium showed him as a Bull with the Larry O'Brien Trophy as the organization clearly tries to appeal his stated desire to win and possibly even take less money to do so.

The Knicks are the only team that can offer Anthony a max contract worth $129 million over five years, but it's uncertain if the Knicks will offer him a maximum contract. Other teams can offer Anthony a max deal of $96 million over four years, but he would have to take less than that to sign with the Bulls.

The meeting ended with Anthony being given a tour of the Bulls' new practice facility near the United Center by team personnel.

The Dallas Mavericks, as ESPN.com reported last week, will entertain Anthony in Dallas on Wednesday afternoon after his morning visit with the Houston Rockets. He is scheduled to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday in L.A.

Ha Ha. Yeah, that's probably Melo's biggest concern. It all hinges on Rose's gimpy knees.
