Melo #13: Believe in Joakim Noah & Crew

Just got home from work. The only thing I got from skimming the last 30-40 pages is that somebody smiled and all meetings go well.

Slow news day.

@NBA: If money isn’t the ultimate factor, Melo and Bulls are a perfect match (via @Caplan_NBA on @NBAcom): http://t.co/TA5Srpq1Uh

Unloyal to WHO exactly? Carlos Boozer? He gave up on the team long ago.

My boy Lu and lil Nate

we did 'em dirty

They offered Lu a contract and he didn't want it. It was worth more than his value in my eyes. Nate was here for a very short time, it was fun. And then he got a contract the Bulls shouldn't have paid from the Nugz.

@LaurenceWHolmes: I don't know Melo, but a friend of mine does. They hung out yesterday. I'll tell you at 6 if #Bulls are getting through to him @670TheScore.

Knicks fans telling us that Phil Jackson is great and Derrick Rose hurt his knees.

What team do they think we've been watching?

I think his point is that you don't understand the difference between chronic and acute injuries. To my knowledge, there is no historical comparison to Derrick Rose's situation right now, so the question can't be answered.

This guy gets it...

Lin sounds offended in his twitter and disrespected

Maybe this is just some sort of cover-up

Or maybe it's sincere, idk

@WojYahooNBA: Spoke to Lin's agents, Jim Tanner/Roger Montgomery, who say that Houston did NOT inform Lin that the No. 7 would be used for Melo images.

The Knicks guy keep saying "oh really? show me a so-and-so that so-and-so'd. i'll wait." and we keep helping them find what they're looking for.

Bulls fans are so helpful. I should do homework here.

LobosJordan · Post #1554 » by **LobosJordan** » Wed Jul 2, 2014 9:26 pm

Houston are snakes. Rest assured they would flip Melo next season in an instant if they weren't good enough. Because they damn sure wouldn't move Harden or Dwight.

Derrick already made a complete recovery from his ACL tear against the Sixers in the playoffs. We saw him display his full athletic ability. His current injury has a very high rate of full recovery. When I see most General NBA fans discuss Rose, they don't seem to understand this.

Exactly so your assumption that rose comes back fine is way off base. And fyi I guy who's knees tear 2 years in a row seems to me to be a chronic issue. And a big laugh at that we won't be relevant for a decade. If you all follow the nba you would realize every 3 years things change.

they were our brethren and we left them behind

they should both get an honorary ring if Bulls ever win one with melo

You're putting the cart before the horse. It's like trying to have a baby with no male and female interaction lol... its not gonna happen. You need both, and for the life of me I can't understand why more fans don't get this. Its not rocket science. That is why you're going after Melo is it not, to help you guys score more points?

Houston already had the #4 offense in the league. You seriously think scoring is the problem? If not, what does Melo bring that puts you over the top?

I'm not comparing Houston to Chicago. I never was to begin with lol. I'm talking about as a whole how fans think all you need is defense. And I say show me a top 10 defensive team, that was a bottom 10 offensively that won a title in the NBA.

lmfao

that's the reason we are adding lots of offensive talent this summer. and remember bulls went with rose and a lot of scrubs to the ECF and won 62 games that year.

so add Melo, McDermott and Mirotic to the rotation and the Bulls are the contender no 1 with SAS.

You mean the Rockets right.?

Ask Jeremy Lin...

Go troll their board.
