Is KC deleting this off his twitter or something? Can't see it on his page, yet the article is there clear as day. KC losing it big time either way, hell has frozen over when Freidell has become the reliable reporter.

He probably ends up taking the supermax, give phil a year and then demand a trade when they strike out next year.

Perhaps. But if that were the plan then Melo should've just opted in for one more year, seen if New York could get something done in 2015 free agency, and if not just bolted then. Phil will have no obligation to move him next season after giving him $130 million. And if he does trade Melo, it could be to someplace he doesn't wanna go. Melo has his freedom and his chance now.

He still gets the most by getting the supermax. If he opted in and then bolted, he would get smaller raises. And I think he really does like NY. I think the trade demand is if Phil doesn't make anything happen.

And Phil wouldn't certainly trade him. Is he just going to have Melo pout, bad mouth the knicks and half ass it for 4 more years?

That's why I would have drafted Payne as part of a 3 headed monster at PF. This way you dump Taj (and offer Melo a $20+m starting salary). Then I think Gasol would be a shoe in and you roll with Gasol/Payne/Mirotic (after the other dumps).

Worst case scenario Meli doesn't sign and now you've got a ton of assets (Gary Harris too?) to package in a trade for Love or another potential disgruntled star that will inevitably come along.

Payne went 15 and there's no way he's worth two first round picks.

You all are crazy

I mean truly fanatics.

Relax.

Quit trying to interpret every little bs tweet and comment. Wait for confirmed reports of people signing.

And you might have to wait at least a day given the US holiday.

But please relax. It's like 25+ pages an hour right now. And all based on nothing.

Come on folks.

Also, I 2nd the request for a new thread with only substantiated and confirmed reports of players meeting and/or signing (verbal commitments obviously) with teams, with no extra discussion. It is absolutely impossible to find any real info in any of these threads.

SO IF Noah knows all that time effort and energy was ultimately for not, and Melo is doing this for ulterior motives than " Actually winning at all cost and being willing to leave NYK" Then some one explain to me why he would give a damn about spilling the beans about Melo going back to NYK? To me Noah wouldn't care because he would see this ASA farce and just want the speculation to die since it isn't possible for him to leave. Melo could have told him outright " Nah bro,word up,I doubt I'm leaving at all,just out of respect."

Because Melo wasted 9 hours of prime smoking time in the off season, so he is taking the wind out of Melo's decision day.

Well we should find out more tomorrow. People shouldn't just start attacking people just because they hate what was posted. People read one thing and go crazy. Nothing is official and things can change instantly.

I'm not pissed because I dont like the message. I am pissed because the write up was garbage. "Several people" is not sufficient to explain the credibility of this. For all we know he was reading this thread and found out what we did about what Noah said via some random dude on the internet.

As I said tell us if its confirmed or unconfirmed so we can decide for ourselves the value of this info. If the info is legit typically the writer tells you "front office personnel say..." or "Someone close to player X told us..."

"Several people" ...yeah thats not professional dude. Sorry, but you have to give some indication of the validity of your info.

Honestly, Melo had a chance to write his name in the records book with a championship. Take 15 mil. The kids graduating from prestigious universities like Harvard, Penn, and Stanford can't even fathom making 15 mil in a year. It's crazy how much money these guys need to feel secure.

Tell them to learn how to shoot a basketball.Until everyday joes can fetch 20.00$ 120.00$ a game to watch them work this point is moot. And the owners of those teams are making 10x the players and half of them couldn't wipe their own a&#&@% . Supply and Demand

This era of the league and new CBA is starting to look troubling.

Are old teams full of stars who made 100s of millions already in their youth the only teams that are really going to have a chance now?

There was likely a no chance he signed with the Bulls for our cap space. And NY didn't have a reason to feel pressured to do a S&T. That has changed.

REJOICE!

So what did I miss that has everyone so pessimistic right now? I haven't been able to follow the thread. I shouldn't even be on here at the moment haha.

It's just convo bro, Bulls haven't played in months

But yea, SOME of you guys need to get a grip though lol I won't lie on that one

Of course they were going to make a spectacle of this event (james, melo, riley, etc.)

jon greenberg ‏@jon_greenberg 58s

Bulls fans now dreaming a little smaller. "Hey, McDermott, Shawn Marion, DeJuan Blair, Snell and Hinrich will be a pretty good bench mob."

How confident fans are that we will sign Melo?
