if carmelo comes to chicago, it will be via a sign and trade. not an outright signing. i'm pretty sure everyone involved in the process is aware of that. not sure why you keep belaboring that point or treating it as a revelation. lolz.

that isn't the holdup. the holdup is that carmelo's an unrestricted free agent and he hasn't decided yet where he wants to play. it's not about the bulls not offering enough. that's just dumb internet fan talk. that part of the process hasn't even come up yet. he'd have to decide on chicago first. before chi and ny even talk S&T specifics.
