He's primarily a jump shooter, I'd worry much more about Derrick Rose's or Noah's decline tbh

Which is why he doesn't want to waste time with NY or LA. He's gonna take the ready-made championship team.

Trading for Melo starts a 2-3 year window, and the Bulls know it, that is the plan. We cannot keep hording assets forever.

I retired him when Rose tore the ACL, but I'm willing to bring him out to play if Melo comes.

The only way Woj could ever report that LA was in the running is if Melo's camp leaks it. Melo's camp isn't full of people with loose lips. It's people leaking what they want to be known. They want it known that Melo is willing to walk for nothing if NY doesn't play ball, and give Melo the S&T he desires to Chicago. That's what's going on. According to Ralph's rumors, and a conglomeration of others, the biggest obstacle is going to be getting the Knicks to swallow the sunk cost of Boozer's corpse with Amare's already on the roster. A 3rd team is probably the solution, but it's a bitter pill to swallow for anybody, and we'll probably pay a pretty price for this. If this goes through we're probably going to absolutely gut our assets, and probably lose at LEAST one if not both of Butler/Gibson.

BullsLas said boozer to the jazz is a done deal and he said there would be a trade yesterday (which there was and he was right).

Can you provide a link? And what trade are you referring to? The one for Novak, which eats into their caproom and makes a Boozer trade LESS likely?

Here's where says Booz to Jazz is a done deal:

He just said there would be a trade yesterday and a lot of people doubted it because it was July 4th:

Nah. With his style of play, he'll be highly effective until 34 or 35.

Melo has never relied on his athleticism so could be great for another 4-5 years.

Preach my brother!


Yeah, I actually don't like that other reporters are in on this too. Wish we weren't so smart so Heisenpax's plan can go through as planned.

People on the Knicks board are so afraid.

They should be. Because they will be crying pretty soon.
