Carmelo Anthony insists that his mind is focused on basketball and his current team despite numerous rumors regarding his future.

The Nuggets are in Chicago to face the Bulls on Monday night. The Bulls are one of the teams that have been linked to Anthony, in addition to the Knicks and Nets.

"Maybe if I was a free agent, I would let my mind wander, but I can't do that right now," Anthony said. "I got to focus on being a Nugget and playing Nuggets basketball.

"It wouldn't be right if I let my mind wander and think about if I was here in Chicago."

Anthony did talk about how much he enjoys Chicago's style of play.

"I don't want to say this in the wrong way and then you all take it ... but anybody would love to play with a guy like Derrick Rose," Anthony said. "A young point guard, young star, get the ball up and down the court. He's improved his game every year.

"You got a young big man in [Joakim] Noah. You got [Carlos] Boozer, right now Boozer's hurt, but they've got a good team right now."
