The 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions are focusing on the Carmelo Anthony tour this week. After Chicago and the Texas teams, the Knicks superstar goes West to Los Angeles.

The Lakers have prepared a welcoming party for the superstar despite rumors that they were not really interested. The report from ESPN LA shows they are using their secret weapon to lure Anthony--Hollywood:

"The Lakers' presentation was led by team president Jeanie Buss, executive vice president of player personnel (and Jeanie's brother) Jim Buss and Kupchak. It also included Lakers chief operating officer Tim Harris and executives from Time Warner Cable SportsNet, the Lakers' television network, and representatives from AEG.

Movie producer Joel Silver was also present and created a short film in homage to Anthony, followed by a conversation about the avenues that Anthony and his wife, La La Vasquez, can take into the entertainment industry, multiple sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com."

Aside from that, Carmelo is expected to meet with Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, who will be flying in from a European vacation.

The Lakers made it clear that they will offer Carmelo Anthony the max contract:

Lakers made it clear to Melo today they'd offer the maximum, 4-yr, $97mil contract they can, if he chose them.

Initial reaction to the meeting was generally positive, as expected:

Carmelo told reporters: "You know I can't say anything right now, but I wanted to stop and say hey."

Some inside infor: "A person who was in the Lakers' pitch said they thought it went 'really well' and added, 'I don't know how big of a shot we have, but I think we have a shot.'

Another Lakers source described Anthony as 'extremely attentive' throughout the meeting." (ESPN LA)

One thing that other teams could not offer Carmelo was a possible voice in the coaching choice. The Lakers are rumored to delay their coaching hire in hopes that they can lure a top free agent if they have a favorable coach.

Anthony has a busy itinerary in LA. It is said that before he meets with Bryant, there were talks that representatives from the Knicks are also in the City of Angels. Melo is expected to meet with them, too.
