Carmelo Anthony decided to “take the money” in New York rather than go with the supposed “better” situation with the Bulls in Chicago. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
Just a matter of hours until Carmelo Anthony informs the Knicks of his return on a five-year deal, as @FisolaNYDN reported this week.

There are those that will mock this decision, purely based on the cap situation that the Knicks have next season. However, let me ask you … would YOU turn down an extra 30 million bucks? If the answer is yes, prepare yourself while I warm up my voice to shout loudly to you in public about being a less-than-honest individual. Let me tell you, it would be hard to pass up that kind of money. Yes Melo's situation for next season isn't ideal but … dunno that's alot of C.R.E.A.M (cash rules everything around me).
Anyway. Not much Nuggets new so … there you go. Good for Melo
