I remember that story of the Boston Celtics meeting with Obama and he spent like the whole day ripping on Rondo and his inability to shoot :lol:

Limo? If I was Reinsdorf, I would tell GarPax to give Melo & Co. piggyback rides from their hotel to the UC.

Glad they put the head band on in those pictures. Just don't mention the head band in the meetings. lol

Jared Zwerling ‏@JaredZwerling 17s

Was thinking if Melo's biz team could request Rose's medicals to further validate CHI opportunity. But HIPAA Privacy Rule can prevent that.

As @BillSimmons and I discussed on BS report yesterday, sense I get is Melo likely staying in NY, but if he leaves Chi is ahead

And there it is. The kiss of death.

What is everyone's opinions far as meetings? Good to be the first or the last to make pitches?

How is that the kiss of death? They are saying they think he goes back to the Knicks.

Ain't Leon rose thibs manager too?

Can't thibs just threaten to cut Leon rose salary from 15% to 10% of his earnings if he don't talk melo into joining us?

Surprised Friedell isn't trying to sell Melo on joining Miami.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls played a video message from Obama at this meeting.

Melo going back to NY is admirable in a way. Yes he did go for the money, but their is a level of loyalty attached with a return.

you know what would be dope and not out of the question. if they had Obama pitch Melo on the Bulls in a pre taped video

I would elect Obama to a 3rd term if that actually worked.
