It seems as though the vast array of sushi dishes, coupled with the fact that he feels his best color is yellow have drawn him to Los Angeles. More info coming soon.

You said "market'. 129 isnt his market, the lakers offer isnt his market either, neither is the bulls.
Notice how three different teams offered three different things. Not market, CBA dictates what they can.
Sure they could, they wont because they dont want a gutted team just to get Melo. but they certainly could if they wanted to.
Thats all LA could do, but it isnt "market" as you want it to be believed.
If a team truly wanted a legit shot for Melo, they'd make the room....plain and simple. The well known destination (Bulls) isnt even doing it, and there's no indication they would even if he picked them.
Still offering your feelings up as fact. That don't work on me, nor will it ever....my personal FACT!
The only thing we have money wise over other teams is that extra year...FACTS!
The starting salary for both us and the Lakers are in fact the same....again FACTS!
Thug get out your feelings about Melo as a player. You don't know what's going on behind the scenes. How do you know what Chicago is trying to move? You don't. Your opinion is non-valid on that issue....once again FACTS!
Two teams who have the money to do so, have offered Carmelo Anthony the Max they are allowed to. FACTS!
Everything else is how you feel about the situation...FACT#
You kniw what else is fact that no team that doesn't have atleast ine star is after him, Houston has Harden Dwight and bunch of nice role players like Parson, Chicago has Rose, Noah and Taj among other's and LA has Kobe and yes I know he's in his mid 30s but it's stil Kobe.
We are the only team that thinks Melo is worth 129 mil with a bum shoulder and 30 years old, kind of says a lothuh? You can be a Melo fan all you want me I prefer to be a Knick fan and as a Knick fan I dont see anything about Melo that would make me believe he's worth that money, not his exits in the first round in Denver nor his here and after that Laker game where our playoffs were depending on it and he choked big just like he did against the Pacers in the pkayoffs abd them blamed his shoulder and then a week later went fishing for sharks with that same bum shoulder and the idiot takes a pic of it lol

Melo is probably one of the unlikeable players in Knicks history. He has so many flaws: lack of leadership ability, poor decision-making, unwilling passer, takes plays off on defense, me-first mentality. But he has elite scoring skills. And if you're able to surround him with the right coach, the right system, the right role players, and hope he falls in line, you can build a contender...it's just difficult with little margin for error. The bottom line is I'd rather have the 15-20% chance that Melo buys in and Phil does a good job around him than to be bad for the next 5 years.

Actually one team I repeat one team offerd max, Dallas didn't we know this and Chicago offered what 15 to 16 mil that to me isnt setting hus value at 129 mil, but Melo and his agent's love fans like you who think Melo is worth more then gold problem is the guy hasnt won jack not in Denver or here, but I guess it was the coaches fault and his teammates
You brought up my thoughts, I didnt raise any until you posted such.
Do you understand what market means? 4 teams melo visited.....2 of the four didnt offer the max, when they knew all year they were teams we would consider.
50% isnt market....sorry.
It helps set it though....unfortunate for you.

Nope. but I've been of contention he'd take his money anyway, because that's all he's cared about previously.
Only time will tell if that isnt true. Not really unfortunate for me, Phil has my trust regardless, as long as he does what he said...build a team that can compete ate at the highest level.
