MeloDrama Part VI

[moocow007]

This longer this takes, the worse I'm feeling about this situation. It's becoming obvious that Melo wants to head down to Miami and everything is being held up by Bosh.

Lebron and Melo are waiting on Bosh to make his decision, if he goes to Houston both Melo and Lebron will be going to Miami.

We're really the only other team in play at this point..

I don't get this if Miami really wanted Melo over Bosh they could just not resign bosh and go from there

Miami hasn't resigned Bosh. They haven't even made him an offer (Bosh agent already said that the Bosh taking $11 million was BS).

C=3 A = 1 R = 18

2+6+8 = 16

Start with the C. 16 - 3 = 13.

M = 13.

Take out the C, and remove the 2.

A+R = 19

6+8 = 14

19-14 = 5

5 = E

can someone please tell me why ESPN keeps asking "if melo wants to win where should he go?" and then they say the bulls like is some rhetorical question? and they never address the fact that rose has not played a full season in over TWO YEARS, they just conveniently leave that part out.... and i just heard that charles barkley looking jemele hill say the LAKERS would give melo a better chance at winning then the knicks? HUH?

You're not used to this by now?

If we trade STAT to Philly, we need first round draft picks in return.

Carl, what draft picks are we getting in return for Amare?

we um.........what ?

I had the same reaction until I remembered we sent a first round pick to TOR for Bargnani.

Would it really hurt for Melo to release a statement just saying he's still deliberating, exploring different scenarios?

[Context]

Then how does he know which teams are out? Melo called the Knicks/Nets to let them know, but not all of those teams?

you're not paying attention. go back and read his posts.

What he's saying is how would anyone in the Knicks front office (where carl's source supposedly is) know that Melo has eliminated Chicago, Houston, or Dallas? The only way Carl or anyone would know this is if it came from the Melo camp.

not necessarily... IF the Knick front office ALREADY KNOWS that Melo is STAYING. Then all Carl has to hear is from his contact in the front office that Melo is staying... No need for contacts in Melo's camp...

[ibraheim718]

And you guys are crazy if you don't think Lebron is willing to only take less if that's what it takes to make room for Melo sans Bosh so projecting Brons max into Miami's ca space question is naive.

[Context]

Would it really hurt for Melo to release a statement just saying he's still deliberating, exploring different scenarios?

He can't because Phil clearly has something lined up and it's going to be announced at a specific time for whatever reason...

He has. Through Carl

This sounds exactly like the Gallo/Chandler debate when we said stars would love to play with them.
Well then...

So then let's never ever try to rebuild or create a proper plan? Let's keep overpaying for the Eddie curry's of the world. I guess no one is going to come to NY with Phil Jackson, max contract offers, and young talent.

We're doomed forever if Melo is S&T'd to the Bulls along with the great JR Smith.

Hyperbole is a last resort. Surely you know what.

Can you just acknowledge NOT having a 2016 draft pick is a major impediment to a rebuild through the draft plan.

Anyone confident should be able to answer than question directly without trying to qualify it with hyperbole.

I don't know about him, but I'll answer this. ABSOLUTELY...not having a 2016 draft pick is a major impediment to a rebuild. The other major impediment to a rebuild (especially considering no 2016 draft pick) is Phil Jackson as GM.

[suicidedeuce]

Wouldn't sign millsap to a max, was just giving options.

But that's the whole point. We know the options.

Someone post what Melo's max is with the raises. Then add all the salary together for next season. Let us know how much we can offer a Marc Gasol type, who is going to command a max contract. I can't remember the exact math, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be close.

Keep in mind, Melo is 30 and had shoulder injuries the last 2 seasons.

After that, you tell me if this team is going to win a title.

If that S&T I mentioned is available (with JR going too), I take it all day.

Someone tell if me the Knicks have a 2016 first round draft pick.

Keep in mind Marc Gasol is 9 months younger than Melo and had ankle problems last year.

After that, tell me how much closer the NY Knicks are to a title?

[K_ick_God]

You don't need inside info to know the Bulls are not in strong position. You just need ... the capacity to do simple subtraction in your head lol.

That's why I don't get the everyone waiting on Bosh move.

wth, did Kobe give him a hickey?
