You don't seem to be very optimistic.
Anyway this Isola guy has no clue.

According to Stein, Bulls don't feel as confident about luring Melo away from NY, which is why their interest in Gasol is so high.
None of the Bulls writers have mentioned a lack of confidence yet. In fact, its been the exact opposite.

Just about everyone (including me) thinks the single most likely outcome is a return to NYK.
I thought Carmelo would decide by this Monday or at the latest Tuesday. But, that World Cup Finals is a week and a half from now. It's not this weekend -- but the 13th.

when you play in NY/LA you get bonus money from Nike and Jordan and while Chicago is the 3rd largest market behind both he may lose some money however his sneaker sales are 4th in the NBA behind Kobe/LeBron/Durant I think so he may do well in Chicago
Jersey sales and shoes sales would go through the roof here. I think the 1st year Rose was injured he was still top 5-10 in jersey sales.

Well actually we had a NY fan in here earlier claiming Isola was a hack when he was giving posotive Bulls tweets. Now that he has negative Bulls tweets I bet they like him more

The Bulls brand worldwide dwarfs any Knick brand that may exist worldwide because of Jordan and Jordan alone. Melo will Make MORE in Chicago.
No Jordan dwarves it not really the bulls brand. The Knicks are on equal footing if not better.

Not worldwide they aren't. And it's not close frankly.

Houston- Dwight and Harden are basically jacked up versions of Chandler and Smith in New York, McHale is a terrible basketball coach
Dallas- Dirk is very reliable, Monta is inconsistent but brings it, Chandler is soft at times but I think he performs better in a contract year. Carlisle is probably the best coach outside of Pop so there's that
Los Angeles- Kobe will make Melo take a backseat not even a passenger seat like in the back, they dont have any other players right now and they dont have a coach plus they have the new James Dolan
New York- We know the Knicks will look different likely upfront come 2015, Phil will groom Fisher this year and work from that point. The best thing going is we're his favorite team, he's a New Yorker and the money
Chicago- Most reliable teammates in terms of bringing it every night, probably the deepest as well if they dont have to move core guys like Noah, Rose, Gibson, Butler, McBuckets, Snell and bring Mirotic over plus get DJ and Kirk back plus Thibs the 3rd/4th best coach in the league
Chicago
New York
Dallas
Los Angeles
Houston
in my eyes in the order of where I'd go
especially since I dont see much of a difference between 15M and 20M in salary when I already made damn near 300M in my life
Chicago is the most reliable to change it's starting lineup throughout the season because of Rose and Noah's injury prone-ness.
injuries are a concern for every team
Dwight's back, Kobe's everything, Dirk, STAT, Rose, Noah
