Melo 15: The End Is Nigh

[bullsaficianado]

What's interesting is how mum Lebron has been. It'd be something if things fall through there. If we lose out on Melo, it might be smart waiting to see what happens with LBJ before rushing into a Gasol signing.

You don't think Lebron can take his talents to wind city and play for the Chicago Bulls, right?

LeBron will never be a Bull, it's like thinking you will score with the hottest girl in high school, your just teasing yourself. He won't leave south beach for lake michigan that's for sure.

[Michael Jackson]

its going to be funny when melo signs for the super max in new york after all his talk of taking less money so whatever team he is on can add more talent..La La must have put her foot down as hard as an elephant after he said that and sent him to his room without dessert....

Not really. 60 million and the question of Derricks knees plus the cap space they have can really justify his decision. Second place is where the bulls were always at.

Hey bro shut up, no need for that here

What?

@Mike_Bresnahan: One person in the Lakers' meeting room said Carmelo was "truly engaged in the conversation." Lakers can't predict if he'll sign, though.

"Hey Carmelo, just imagine you and Kobe both fighting with a coach you've never met. I'll lay he papers out right now".

"Hey Melo, we may or may not build you a team as good as the Bulls have been the past 4 years. Sign the contract."

Let's be real

D-Rose's knees are a serious issue.

I love the guy but I'm not investing 5 years of my career with the hopes that he'll stay healthy. He goes down again and Melo's back where he started.

That's why, IMO, he was never a realistic option.

Csn chicago just brought up the idea of melo going back to NY, lebron staying in miami but restructuring it to make it possible for him to ditch to NY in a year or two.

I would say the LaLa thing is ridiculous but boy was she irrelevant when he played in Denver

Get Oprah on the horn and get her a reality series

Carmelloooooo, look under your seat and you'll find large sums of untraceable $100 bills.

One front office executive whose team is among the five in the running for Anthony (Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Lakers) is currently of the belief Anthony will choose between the Knicks, Bulls or Rockets. The executive spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks.

mostly about Kobe/Melo. But saw this tidbit

Dammit, and now my hopes rise againike mike sweetney on a cheeseburgers eating challenge.














That's right, mike sweetney is relevant again.

On a lighter note....

Really puts everything into perspective. It makes you realize that all the stressing and hoping for a professional athlete to come play for your team is trivial in the big picture.

Even if Rose doesn't return to form, Chicago is still a better team than the Knicks until proven otherwise. Melo is not taking a huge paycut by signing with another team if they can give him the max. There's literally like a $4 million difference until the 5th year kicks in.

Whats more likely to happen Rose staying healthy or a rookie gm and coach building a championship roster in five years?

Wait what? LA and Dallas aren't the favorites?

Yeah, I'm gonna have to get deep dish pizza AND cheeseburgers for dinner.

So, it seems that we have dodged that bullet ... Now, lets make some serious moves ...
