defense. It must be nice. But it isn't nice for me.

When you say defense can win championships show me a NBA champ that won it all without out scoring its opponent? What you're saying is cliche. You're putting the cart before the horse. It's like trying to have a baby with no male and female interaction lol... its not gonna happen. You need both, and for the life of me I can't understand why more fans don't get this. Its not rocket science. That is why you're going after Melo is it not, to help you guys score more points?
Houston already had the #4 offense in the league. You seriously think scoring is the problem? If not, what does Melo bring that puts you over the top?

Yeah, with the exception of a former MVP not playing a single game that season.
And if everything we know about players with chronic knee issues this won't be the last season that your former MVP is out

Its not just about talent. Its about complimentary pieces. The Bulls core is all defense. Add a pure scorer like Melo and its golden. At least in theory. That's why we want him.
Complimentary Pieces.
Teamwork.
Its a concept.
Without rose those complimentary pieces mean nothing and hate to break it to you but rose is stoudemire 2.0. You guys sign melo and you will have zero capspace for years. We can sign another star next year.

Scottie Pippen's response to whom he would pick for his running mate, Michael or LeBron: "That's a dumbass question. I've never done anything with LeBron. I wouldn't take LeBron to the movies."

You guys are at least 3 years away....rookie coach, has never been to the playoffs, not enough talent and ZERO defense.

Seriously. It's been so entertaining and amusing to read. I'm enjoying it.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about, and I'm just going to leave it at that.

Unloyal to WHO exactly? Carlos Boozer? He gave up on the team long ago.

Now you're just being trollish and stupid. Rose doesn't have a degenerative knee condition like Amare. If Melo signs, they don't need cap space next year, they've got a 3 year window. Oh yeah, the cap number for 2017/2018 is $0.

And I say show me a top 10 defensive team, that was a bottom 10 offensively that won a title in the NBA.

Again..if that's my bias, shake me, slap me, and tell me to shut the hell up.

Really? Name the last player that went from MVP level to miss 2 years with knee issues to return to that level again? I'll be here waiting all day for you to find someone
