Isiah Thomas believes Carmelo Anthony will wind up playing for either the Knicks or Bulls.

"I think it will come down to Chicago and New York, whoever can put together the better package," Thomas told the Tribune on Monday. "I would say that a month ago he wasn't as open to Chicago as he is now. I think he has given New York enough time to put something together. But I think it will come down to those two cities."

The New Jersey Nets also have been linked as a possible destination for Anthony.

"I think the Nets have a chance, but in terms of what I think he would really like to be ... in terms of winning and everything else ... I think he would rather win with the Knicks than win with the Nets," said Thomas.
