Melo 20 - Here comes the money shot -MERGING

[SpankinMyHeat]

If something big enough to be called a "storm" is coming with the New York Knicks, I have a hard time believing Carl from the internet has scooped literally everybody else.

Carl had Kidd's failed power play with the nets before any of the major sports outlets. He's already out-scooped ESPN, I can't take what he says lightly.

Carl from the internet...lol

Well, I'm not surprised for him to be indicating "the disconnect" is real because I've always thought that Reggie is the one who spread that rumor. Possibly after hearing Melo was a long-shot to sign with the Bulls so that it wouldn't look as though DROSE failed at recruiting. I think Derrick knew what was up though.

If there is a disconnect with management, however, not sure why Reggie would be well tuned in on the status of Melo.

Reggie Rose is a dumbass. Why believe him?

It's not about believing Reggie, he's probably correct. The thing is, this is nothing new between players and management. Shaq hated Lakers management, MJ, Pip and Phil all hated Bulls management. Doesn't really mean anything when it's time to take the court.

But what exactly has Bulls management done to Derrick other than annoint him as the city's own and showered him with generational wealth.


What exactly has the Bulls FO done to irk his camp so much?

I must have missed this "Carl Post", what is this about a storm?

**** rose too, doesn't have the balls to tell his brother to shut the **** up.

100000000X Thisˆ

I mean, Rose and his camp are allowed to have whatever opinions they want.
But for FFS, tell his brother to shut the **** up!!!
That guy always appears at the wrong time just to stir **** up.

Reggie Rose is the best worst thing ever to happen to Chicago. If he wasnt there i doubt rose makes league.

[Grodoboldo]

The dude from The Bulls Show podcast just tweeted that he met Reggie, who wasn't very optimist about our chances on landing Melo.
Also said that the disconnect between Rose's Camp and management is real.

Thanks for depressing me twice in one post!

This is a Bulls Free Agency thread. If you're not already depressed you're not doing this right.

[da pmp]

I wish some Bull fan just socked Reggie right down his throat and then Muay thai the ****** hell out of him.

[Michael Jackson]

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

Bosh will be back.

It was always ny first. He forced a trade there. Chicago second. This Miami thing is foolhardy and just wanting to get hits. The spurs may have killed Miami in more than one way.

I believe the Spurs' performance in the finals may have ruined the Heat. That was an absolute extermination.

It was and they realistically could have beat them the year before but not that easily.

I love how the Melo speculation threads have accumulated close to 20,000 posts, and the Melo thread that contains concrete updates has accumulated...

...EIGHT!

As in eight total posts! Talk about Cliff Notes!

[CM17263]

So we're just going to believe that Reggie spilled the beans to this random dude? I'm sure they're very close. I can tell by the way he immediately puts words into Reggie's mouth, about stuff that would be considered a betrayal of trust.

[nomorezorro]

so like if anyone stopped on the street to talk to reggie rose he'd be like 'man i don't think we're going to get melo and i really hate garpax'

how is this a man with significant sway over an nba superstar

This would be an entirely different scenario IMO. How much attention was the national media paying to the Nets right before the Kidd departure? Next to none. Everything was about the draft and impending free agency. How much attention is the national media paying to the Melo situation? A lot. Not 100% undivided attention, but a lot. I'm gonna guess it's a bit different to beat all the big dogs to the story when they're actively following the situation 24/7.

Eh... I get what you mean.
But that doesn't mean he is by any means a good PR guy for his lil bro.

Who knows. Maybe the same things they've done to irk Thibs? None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes. Point is, if Shaq and Kobe and MJ and Pip and Phil can deal with poor relationships with management and still have Hall of Fame careers and deliver championships, then let's not panic over Team Rose's supposed rift with management.

[ElPolloLoco]

Don't worry guys, according to one of my sources Melo is signing with Chicago soon. Oh and the source im talking about is my cat.

[HomoSapien]

Hey guys, I realize it's a slow news day but let's try to keep somewhat on topic. Also, let's not post 5 gifs in one post. It's hard to sift through posts, especially on our phones when that happens.

What, seriously? 206 And 1's for that post?

[Peelboy]

Not sure how 'Carl from state farm' deal can work. USA today says Knicks committed salary before Melo is $59. http://hoopshype.com/salaries/new_york.htm

That's about 4m under. But w Melo at 22, they're 18 over (and iirc. His cap hold is higher than 22). Dealng Amare frees up 23, putting them 5 under. That ain't lebron.

I suppose could trade amare for TPE and use that to deal for Bron, but anyone thnk Riles is making that move when the threat is Bron signing for 5?

[rose2jfat]

I must have missed this "Carl Post", what is this about a storm?

He's being vague but implying things about Melo and a person who wears #16, but apparently the deal is so volatile that a hack GM could come in and ruin the deal! But since the information leaked here, in an effort to keep us from leaking it to various hack GMs, he said that we've actually won the Melo sweepstakes.

I'm going with Bawl > Carl.
