Keep then trade? Wow that would be hilarious, I doubt Phil re-ups him and then trades him later.

Or do you just mean you prefer the s and t?



Haha. I mean i would rather keep Melo then sign and trade him to another team. Although it would be funny to trade him against his own will to get better players lol.


We may not have the best year next season, but the following one we would have some cap space to work with and another year of Phil making things happen. ITs been a long time since we had somebody intelligent making basketball decisions.


You can't both keep him and then
sign and trade him.

If he's signed and traded, he picks the team.

@Chris_Broussard: Source: Knicks told Melo tonight that he can have max contract. Privately, they have told him this all along. Reiterated it tonight.

@Chris_Broussard: Source: Knicks' max offer to Melo was verbal, not formal.

i gotta admit that Melo trying to recruit Gasol to NY as last ditch effort to get immediate help in NY does makes allot of sense

im still saying he stays....nothing hes said has led me to believe he wants to leave

And yet he still hasn't signed. Wouldn't surprise me if Melo truly hasn't made up his mind yet.

Obviously New York suck as it is, but for Gasol to take that money would be ridiculous.

Seriously, for that money, both of them could come to Chicago and then some.


Their payroll is already 66.2 mil. They have no wiggle room if they re-sign Melo. Their payroll would be 86+

waffle wrote:I think there is at least equal (i'd probably say greater) that LBJ comes here than Melo.

- Miami is not going to win next year
- He doesn't need to take the max even though he is suggesting he wants it
- He would demonstrate that the ECF goes through HIM, not Miami
- The bulls, IN GENERAL, are cooler than the Heat. It would up his cool factor


Waffle man, I don't generally question the finger, but I have to tell it (and you) that Lebron is not coming to Chicago. No way, no how. No offense. ;-)
