Hope you're right. All this waiting is driving me insane. I've already resigned myself to believing he won't be here. But I've always been a glass half empty kinda guy.

1. Melo stuck around all day, had dinner with a bunch of the Bulls players and management.

2. Knicks informally offered him the super max.

...so basically absolutely nothing changed. It's winning vs. $$$.

if the report about the knicks saying they will not get involved in a s&t for boozer is true i think you can take that two different ways.

1) knicks wont take boozer no matter the assets attached (just posturing imo)

2) knicks have strong feeling melo is leaving

otherwise why care about booz if you know melo is returning.

still think melo takes super max but jst saying.

Houston is not serious about winning, to much Diva and ball hogging going on.

Dallas is serious, but not necessarily a good fit. Monte & Melo? Idk about that. And those 2 and Dirk will need at least a season to even learn to play together if they can at all. Especially with Felton running things.

L.A. Lakers... Kobe & Melo. That's a joke, right?

NY is our only competition. And it's basically money (which he already has plenty of, especially when you remember the whole Jordan Brand thing) versus winning (which he hasn't done a lot of)...

Do you take the Lebron route and win? Or do you take the Joe Johnson route?


The decision is yours Mr. Melo...

One minute I say he's down like a clown he's a bull. The next I say nope to good to be true not coming this is a repeat of 2010 not going to let my self down . Then I say again he's coming lol we will never know until we know



However if it's meant for him to come and he's serious about winning he will come if Lebron can jump ship so can he.

I am more then sure him going into 30 he does not want to waste his prime when he sees his draft peers from 03 having 2 and 3 rings and went to the finals 4 times Ina row I'm positive we impressed him time will tell god knows he don't want to go down as a Karl Malone John Stockton Clyde drexler Charles Barkley player

Let's be real, people spent the last 48 hours sullying Derrick's character and integrity over something that didn't even happen. I'm sorry, but folks deserve to get called out for that. As was reported, Derrick and his camp had already reached out to Melo, there was no reason to believe he wasn't part of the recruiting efforts just because of a generic, throw away line about not recruiting. It's all good though, glad Derrick, Jo and Taj stepped up, hopefully we see Melo in a Bulls uniform.


That's a load of bull. People reacted to a very poorly timed comment directly from his mouth. I firmly believe that all that outrage helped get him into the meetings today. Rose was killed all over the internet and radio for his comments. Now all of us here are Bulls fans, and everyone here wants what's best for this team - and what's best for the team is that Rose is part of it (on and off the court). To suggest that people get some sort of high from "sullying his character" is such a bad misrepresentation of this fan base. We're a passionate group. Let's not turn on each other with stupid accusations just because there is a disagreement.

Now we've heard that Rose not only showed up to the dinner, possibly worked out for Melo, and dropped by dinner. That's outstanding news and shows that he is firmly invested in the team's future. It's great to see that he made that effort, and it very well could be the difference.
