I have Lala's. I already know the decision. But this post needs 15,000 AND1s for me to reveal.

Derrick Rose will do 1 of 2 things in the 2014-2015 NBA Season: 1) Return to MVP form and prove you wrong, or 2) Fail to return to MVP form and prove me wrong. Either way, one of us will end up looking like an ***hole.

I dunno. Sportscenter is saying Melo is torn. He hasn't even played a game for the bulls. Jesus, DRose made it 12 games before he tore his meniscus.

Isn't it customary for Ballboys to post rumors from secret sources when introducing themselves? Like, this circus was all set up in order to avoid tampering charges being levied against the Bulls and Carmelo agreed to sign a month ago?

Basically said the Knicks have everything under control.



And just like that, Carl's credibility is shot.

I don't think there's much chance - and even less if BronBron is looking for max.

Bosh will be back.



He might not be. I think he might want to make a name for himself again. He gets all the " heat" pun intended in Miami. Dude has done his job and gets beat upon. I could see him leaving for way more money and a shot. I would.

Nothing other than the Knicks have everything "under control." Which could mean any number of things so I wouldn't worry about it at the moment. If he starts getting into specifics I might start paying attention, keeping in mind that even if he does have "solid sources", things change quickly all the time in free agency.

There's a bunch of reasonable theories as to why Melo hasn't announced:

1. Waiting for Miami's 3 to decide first/holding out hope for Miami.
2. Using the Lakers as leverage to get the full max from New York.
3. Using the Lakers as leverage to be signed-and-traded to Chicago.
4. Just cuz.

Take a deep breath.

Grab a shower.

Trim up that neck beard.

Then let's get back to doing Melo's work here.

Brazil is so beautiful, I'd like to go there but I'm afraid the locals hate Americans.

is that true?
