Melo 16- If it's meant to be, it's meant to be

Actually .....we really need to pull our finger out over the next few days so we get to thread 50 before Melo informs the Knicks he's leaving for Chicago

MELO 50 : THERE MUST BE 50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER

Sorry NiteTrain, but I wasn't sure of what you had actually said...care to elaborate so I don't have to go digging through page after page? If I'm not mistaken, did you predict Melo to stay in NY?

Paraphrasing but he said Melo to NY and would announce it Monday. The whole tour was a way to recruit possible future FA to NY and to get inside information on team's plans. Something like that.

Surprised that this thread is going slow, we should have been on 17 already.

He will inform the teams of his decision on Monday night. It was lost in the whole melo took this trip to try and recruit players to the knicks when their time is up.

Thing is, I heard no one, at least on the Bulls was even receptive to that.

Anyhoot, we will know Monday night when a team leaks it. Melo's camp does not know what he will do though. Anyone telling you that he's leaning in a direction doesn't know better and is trying to create news.

So just cause of Broussard saying rose didn't recruit? That's why Reggie has been dragged into this? These are not rhetorical btw I'm just trying to understand.

It's more than that, it's about a series of tweets that indicate that Derrick and the FO are not on the same page. The miscommunication and mismanagement of Derricks PR is blamed on his brother because its believed that his brother is the power behind the throne, so to speak.

we all just want Derrick to start being more PR savvy, but he doesn't seem to have it in him.

Joe Cowley was on 670 this morning and he made it a point to emphasize how isolated and not plugged-in Derrick Rose is. He recounted a story from last year where a reporter told Derrick that a lot of fans were beginning to turn on him, and Derrick seemed genuinely surprised at that. Cowley went on to say this is because Derrick does not follow the social media world, twitter, facebook, etc. He's very isolated from all that

Yeah he is awful with the media. He is really really sheltered which is fine. I think Addidas regrets that way more than anyone though.

Derrick is pretty clearly an introvert. Introverts brains literally work different than a normal persons. We pile all of these expectations on his shoulders, and we are disappointed when he doesn't act the way we believe he should, but it really isn't fair because those qualities are not an aspect of his character. That said, he does himself a disservice by living in a bubble shaped by Reggie and his manager. He will be out of touch because of the faith he puts into his handlers, which has the potential to come back to bite him someday.

Yea but its up to Melo to tell Phil "Im going to the Bulls whether you S&T me or not" and Phil to call his bluff for that to happen.

Not quite...

Some other poster mentioned this in a previous Melo thread - and I think most of the Bulls board is missing this angle.

It doesn't need to be the Bulls who need to get to max cap space. All we need is for one other team that has max cap space that would offer Melo max money to sign outright - and a team that Melo would sincerely be willing to go to, as an option 1b.

Enter the Lakers.

While the Lakers cannot put together as good a team as the Bulls for next year, you have to believe that they are certainly able to get better than NY - and that's all it takes.

Melo goes to Phil:
Either work out a S&T to the Bulls (for max or near max money) or I go to the Lakers.

If the Bulls can't acquire Melo, is there anyone else who hopes the Bulls sign Parsons to a poison pill contract?
