Melo wanted to play with Taj.

A great team prepped for winning was the whole point of him coming here.

This is going to drag on because of LeBron and Bosh....why do they dictate the league? Players need to start thinking for themselves.

I don't how much more I can handle of waiting. After today, I'm moving on with my life. When it happens, it happens.

On second thought, I'm back.

I just don't buy that this is about getting the max for Melo.

I just don't buy it. It goes against everything he's said. Whatever happens, regardless how long the hold up is, I'm willing to bet that Melo doesn't sign for the max and we find out that that aspect of all of this has been overplayed. I'm thinking that it's strictly about seeing what teams can make what other moves.

And I'm getting a sick feeling that this could last until Thursday.

It never made any sense. I mean, I knew he was going to be there. How did Rose not know?

He could star in Disney channel shows too. Brilliant.

Are you watching Melo?

bad knees wrote:Lakers are linked to Stephenson chasing. Knicks met with Pau. Absurd reporting.

Well yeah, but they are doing it because they have a shot at Melo. They are attempting to add pieces to Melo.
We are just giving up and losing according to "sources" :crazy:

Hasn't this been debunked 100 times?

NBA needs to do away with this moratorium crap and let talks and signings start on the same day. Us getting Melo aside, the "reporting" being done has been atrocious.
