Get Oprah on the horn give LaLa her own reality series with Larsa and boom you got Melo

LaLa and Larsa

Or do like Eric Decker and his wife and Oprah can give Melo and LaLa a show of their own to make up the money

Last I checked a big 4 was better than a big 3.

What is all this crap about a big four. Since when is Taj a star?

Today was full of good news imo. I don't know what you guys are talking about
-Met with Houston for 6 hrs, Dallas for 2. Bulls lead with 9 hrs
- Dwight didn't look or sound too confident in his instagram video
-Chance that Bulls are able to sign Melo AND Gasol ?
-Bye Boozer

That's what i got from today so yeah, sounds like good news to me.

Here's why

A 4 year deal starting at 17M gives him about 70-75 mil over the 5 years

A 5 year deal gets him 90+ over 5 years

I think Phil's max offer will be between 100-110M

So I'm essence it would look like leaving 10-20M on the table instead 30-40M

But if he has an opt out, he ran re-up a new deal. Don't forget taxes.

That's still 3 years down the road

However Melo has said this decision is based on the next 6-8 years

Im starting to grow on the idea that we didnt discuss numbers with Melo. Kinda gives the impression that it wont matter, we'll figure out a way to get you your pay, we just want to sell you on us first.

Maybe Melo arranged a meeting in LA with the Bulls FO and Gasol because they knew Anthony would be busy with the Knicks on Friday.

Did Ralph say if he was speculating or if a source said the Bulls were landing Gasol for $10 million?

thedarkstark · Post #588 » by **thedarkstark** » Thu Jul 3, 2014 4:48 am

Stop posting Joe Cowley tweets (or tweets with him as a source)

The dude is a hack, he has no sources. Pretty much everything he has said has been directly contradicted/shot down/denied by REAL sources like Woj/Windhorst/KC/McGraw

BullsFTW · Post #589 » by **BullsFTW** » Thu Jul 3, 2014 4:49 am

There wasn't really bad news today. Wojo and Windhorst believes we have a good shot at landing Melo.

Stein just speculated that the Bulls are moving on with Plan B, because they've contacted in Gasol. When it could be the Bulls doing their due diligence.

LOL. Well he is an all-nba defender....or maybe he was referring to Gasol

Melo met with you guys longer than he did with the 2 Texas teams combined

No joke, I think LaLa would totally get her own show here. Its a smaller pond in Chicago albeit we are still host to a number of shows. It would work well. I'd watch...

Perhaps others have addressed it elsewhere, but I'm curious as to how we could possibly get Melo and Pau. Who would we lose, and what would Pau and Melo be making in that instance?

And what's up with all the negativity suddenly, what news have I missed which has caused this depression among Bulls fans?

Like I said his choice is about winning for the next 6+ years

If he lets the difference between 15M and 20M decide that then there's huge problems

Melo is one of the top 25 highest paid athletes in the world

Well Knicks were a winning team with Melo on the floor last year.

When he was off they lost by about 7.5 points per 100 poss.

All Melo has to do is score well here and the team will win a ton, because the defense and rebounding will be there.

Makes too much sense.

If Melo disses us I fear that rose will never recruit again.

Then again, I can't see rose doing what he did in the first place unless Melo to Chicago was a near lock, pending derricks health.

OK now I'm convinced. Gasol cannot be our plan B. He was never even mentioned till like yesterday. He's got to be in the mix because of Melo. Otherwise we dont really need another PF if we have Mirotic waiting in the wings.
