The 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions is reaching fever pitch, and the Chicago Bulls are major players for the top players. While they are aiming at multiple targets, their star guard Derrick Rose has how own preferred prospect.

Derrick Rose is a former MVP but he has spent the last two seasons injured. Yet, the Bulls are still a top draw for free agents in part because of the possibility of playing with him.

It has been an open secret that the Bulls, specifically Joakim Noah has been recruiting Carmelo Anthony since the All-Star game. While Derrick Rose is not taking any action and focusing on his own rehabilitation, he does have an opinion on his team's possible moves.

From the NY Daily News: "Noah will be disappointed if it turns out that Anthony uses the Bulls merely to get Dolan to up the Knicks' offer. But one of his teammates won't be crushed. Derrick Rose hasn't called Anthony once and isn't expected to do any recruiting when the Bulls make their run at the Knicks' top scorer in free agency.

According to sources close to Kevin Love, Rose's preference is for the Bulls to work out a deal as soon as possible for Minnesota's All-Star forward because he sees Love as more of a team player than Anthony. Chicago is in the mix with Golden State for Love, with Boston and Denver considered long shots. If it makes any difference to Melo, Rose has no plans to recruit Love, who is free next summer, either. But the Bulls already know whom he'd really prefer to play with in the future."

There are some observers who maintain that Melo's declaration that he 'wants to win most of all' is just a leverage move to increase his asking price. That Carmelo Anthony cannot really leave New York and walk away from the extra money.

The Bulls don't want to strike out this time, but are they ready to pay the price?
