Perhaps others have addressed it elsewhere, but I'm curious as to how we could possibly get Melo and Pau. Who would we lose, and what would Pau and Melo be making in that instance?

And what's up with all the negativity suddenly, what news have I missed which has caused this depression among Bulls fans?

I'm assuming the Bulls will try to get Pau with the MLE if the Bulls land Melo in a S&T including Boozer.

Maybe the Bulls have a taker for Boozer, who knows.

LaLa and Larsa

Or do like Eric Decker and his wife and Oprah can give Melo and LaLa a show of their own to make up the money


No joke, I think LaLa would totally get her own show here. Its a smaller pond in Chicago albeit we are still host to a number of shows. It would work well. I'd watch...


I think she would as well, she has her NY show which shows that she's got a lot going on in the City so there's that

He totally has the Jack Nicholson/Tim Burton/Smilex smile thing going on! I had to do that! (I had done that pic originally when we first signed him as a coach with text of "Wait till they get a load of me!" above it... :P

Stein just speculated that the Bulls are moving on with Plan B, because they've contacted in Gasol. When it could be the Bulls doing their due diligence.


OK now I'm convinced. Gasol cannot be our plan B. He was never even mentioned till like yesterday. He's got to be in the mix because of Melo. Otherwise we dont really need another PF if we have Mirotic waiting in the wings.

Pretty much.

I mean Love has long been rumored to be a very attractive Plan B.

You guys will get Olympic Melo and he'll turn into a legit defender I'm sure of it

25-8-4 on 50/40/85 next year if he signs with you guys

29-9-3 on 47/42/83 with us if he stays

-Met with Houston for 6 hrs, Dallas for 2. Bulls lead with 9 hrs
- Dwight didn't look or sound too confident in his instagram video
-Chance that Bulls are able to sign Melo AND Gasol ?
-Bye Boozer

That's what i got from today so yeah, sounds like good news to me.


well i guess you're right

but the whole "Bulls not confident in getting melo...look at Gasol as plan b" has really killed the buzz around here

Yeah?? Nahh, sell me on the money first, then break down your presentation

8-)


Present the plan to both Melo and Gasol.

Amnesty Boozer
Package Snell, MDJ, unguaranteed contracts, Mirotic, 2015 Bulls 1st for Melo at 19.7 M
Since we'd be over the cap we can then use the MLE for Gasol

Rose
Butler
Melo
Gasol/Taj
Noah/Gasol

I think so because Ralph said in a thread that he's done with sources and just posting his opinion.

So I assume Houstons BIG FIVE plan is toast now that Lowry is off the table?

I'm pretty optimistic after all the reports, if he wants to win, Chicago is still the best option

All this Melo and free agent stuff is already giving me anxiety, no need for those terrifying Jeanie Buss pics.

Mike McGraw ‏@McGrawDHBulls 3m

Why do Bulls feel good about their chances with Carmelo? Right now, he ranks 8th on list of most points scored without playing in Finals.
