Homosapien can get him this movie deal if he signs with Chicago!

Going to a depleted LA team in a very tough western conference makes tons of sense for winning.

I think it comes down to, in what city can Lala continue to be a bad actress more? :-?

But I'm just returning...why is the board gloomy now? Has anything real happened?

The Heat haven't agreed to anything yet, right?

And Dirk doesn't really impact Melo IMO. He's old and past his prime. He's more comparable to Duncan's situation. You almost expect those old guys to start taking paycuts to finish their career.

Bulls fans are mad moody.

Too late, Melo's going to the Hornets. They have cap room, and he'd be playing alongside the murderer's row of MKG, Cody Zeller, Kemba Walker, Al Jefferson, and Noah Vonleh.

I refuse to even read that article... it's not even remotely on his radar.

Yeah.

Big Chief Triangle's play is Pau for the MLE and then Marc Gasol next summer with what cap space they can play with

Marc
Pau
Anthony
Hardaway
Calderon

2015 lottery pick when they miss the playoffs next year
Early
Shumpert
Larkin

Vet Minimums

Ultimately not a bad 2nd round playoff team

If we get Melo great. If not we better go after Love with Taj, Niko, Snell, and Sac pick.

I won't be very happy if we go with Gasol Pierce. Niko doesn't come over and IMO its not enough to get by the Heat.

Our plan C should be trading Snell and a pick for a legit scoring 6th man. Bring over Niko, keep MDJ, resign DJ and Kirk and let the young guys play. Win with depth, young legs, and shooting.

But that's all you get. You get more in Chicago.

Our franchise depends on the peanut brittle like-knees of one player. We have a reason to be moody. :-?

His acl leg is good to go. He's been going hard on it with both rehab and basketball for over a year now. It's not like a Greg Oden or Brandon Roy situation.

Dafuq is going on here?

I come back to my laptop, and see this depressing ass thread and that depressing poll.

What we in a funk about now?

He's got an ACL leg and a Meniscus Leg. The only thing we know for sure is that his third leg is fine, as evidenced by his child. Other than that he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

why has the mood changed the past 24 hours here. seems like people were more optimistic yesterday

Not even sure why Melo would take the weekend. If it's really between Bulls and Knicks, which everyone thinks it is, he's had a few days to think about it. Actually a few months since he's known all along we wanted him. What will a few more days do?

Physiologically, the release of Norepinephrine and dopamine caused by the stress of the situation first causes euphoria. But the withdrawal from this high results in a trough. The effect is similar to cocaine, in which users experience the cocaine blues.

Sociologically, it is because we are, and I mean some offense, emotional little women.

Earn a few more days of the national media focusing on him. Example #1,000,000,001 of basketball players wanted their egos massaged.

How confident fans are that we will sign Melo?
