If the Bulls do not land Anthony, who will likely make a decision before the end of the upcoming July 4th holiday weekend, according to a league source, their assumed fallback strategy will center on acquiring more depth in the form of established veterans, as well as at least exploring a potential trade with Minnesota for disgruntled Timberwolves’ All-Star power forward Kevin Love and making a decision on the fate of Carlos Boozer, with the options to either trade him or exercise the amnesty clause on the final year of his contract beginning July 10.
