My Mother's best friend's bosse's daughter in law is friends with the cousin of a guy whose old college roomate has an inside source to the Knicks, and he says that Melo is going to sign in Philadelphia.

Sorry bro but losing every year in the first round (once to the clippers) except once while in Denver is like not making the playoffs to me but then again I got the privilege to see the 90s Knicks and more, so forgive me if Melos first round exits don't impress me and especially when it will cost a 129 mill to keep those accomplishments on this team

And how many championships did those 90s teams win?

If it wasn't for Riley keeping Starks while he.couldn't make a shot atleast one, but to answer you're question.we didn't win any but damn those team's had heart and were a pleasure to watch and if it wasn't for Jordan and his Bull's we would of been in the finals more then the 2 time we got there

I agree with that

I'd rather not include mirotic. knicks can take the picks or lose him for nothing.

Youre back with this bullsh*t? GTFO Eduardo

Just read the lawyer thing and IMHO it's lame. Melo's lawyers don't need to be in Chicago for him to sign a contract, and if it was there at an agreement already, somebody like Wojina would have it. There wouldn't be "Lakers are in the game" quotes. NBA contracts are uniform. They're not long contracts that lawyers need to sift through or fly to Chicago to review and sign.

Guys, I got a friend who has source that works in a company that manufacturers calendars, and he tells me that yesterday was what they call a "national holiday," and today and tomorrow are what's referred to in the biz as "the weekend."

On its own, no big deal right? But let's put it together with everything else we know about this situation.

1.) Carmelo Anthony, his agents, and the executives of all the teams involved as personal lives, and families.

2.) Melo very conspicuously began visiting teams on Tuesday and finished on a Thursday.

3.) There were early reports that he was going to take "the weekend" to think about it.

I know, pretty crazy, but can you see where this is all going?

Lawyers in their offices on a Sunday after a national holiday? LOL.

I can only imagine what a superstars law team gets paid. They'd probably miss every calender holiday if they needed to for their rich clients

Many entertainment attorneys work on retainer or take a firm percentage to amortize bulk hours. I am pretty sure the NBA has a cap on this, but legally agents are allowed to negotiate contracts on behalf of their clients, so why would he need an attorney to sign a max deal? The number is the number. In Hollywood, there are things such as likeness, billing, paid ads, participation, transportation, per diem, etc...

Also, CAA has an in-house legal team (business affairs) that would be able to go over any deal points with any team quite easily, but again it's just a standard athlete contract, there's nothing really to discuss other than are you giving him MAX?

Sorry, I just saw that posted and had a good laugh to myself.

Sigh. Even I don't believe Robert Randolph this time. (Though I do check his Twitter page every once in a while.)

non-sense. LBJ can buy into a vision of playing in an actual system, and the 2015 plan, that would still be in full effect. with full input privileges...

Lebron is not coming to the knicks without another star or two in place for any reason at any point in his career

i know hes not coming..

but he could have his pick of the 2015 class on a team with the capspace...and that is something. i understand the common fan cant see past the current off-season, but pros look ahead. maybe he wants to play with Aldridge or Love on a team that can get him, and a system in place.... he could have his pick of the liter...

no we are looking ahead. but people with common sense realize that if Melo isnt here....none of those guys are coming here. Yes lets just clear cap space so we can strike out again like in 2010. Marquee free agents dont just up and sign with another franchise without reason. The Heat are an anomaly and I somehow doubt Lebron is going to conspire with big name free agents AGAIN to team up in ANOTHER city to win rings. It

True. Makes sense but we would not be sending a big, long term contract back. Its either Booz and some picks/Mirotic, or some other filler contract with the offer. Nice avatar btw. Young bearded Phil is sexy! Crazy shoulders

You've missed the point. Sending him out West is always better than keeping him in conference.

And about my avy...

I always thought a reset made more sense than trying to build around Melo in a hurry. Phil is the zen master but as a new GM thats a tall order.

AS for the conf. rival thing, sure thats an issue, but if you are rebuilding anyway I dont think there is such a conflict. The Bulls windows is 3-4 seasons max with Melo and our core. Not sure its worth not getting assets back when the overlap in contention is not really an issue, but we shall see what happens here.

In conf. deals is not unprecedented. OKC moved Harden to HOU after all. Gasol moved from MEM to LA. It happens.

If its a reset, its one that gets us as close to contention as possible. Not saying it will be easy, but Phil isn't a young man trying to build through the draft if you know what I mean.

Sure in conference deals happen, but using shenanigans like the Pau deal to LA doesn't help your argument. And Harden wasn't the level of player Melo is right now.

Of course I would rather not as well, but we are talking about acquiring Melo and likely Gasol.

Likely assets to be moved are Taj, Mirotic and some picks...oh and Booz of course.

Bob Ross · Post #160 » by **Bob Ross** » Sun Jul 6, 2014 1:28 am

Legit sources can be bs too. I went to high school with a kid who's uncle was a high up with the Miami Heat. This dude was always decked out in heat gear signed by the whole team. I used to ask him for info and he told me the Heat wanted Spree badly and were dangling Zo in like 2001/2002. Had to be complete bullsh*t and this kid was straight connected.
