Melo 16- If it's meant to be, it's meant to be

[theanimal23]

Unclear to me why everyone is so upset about Carmelo touring other teams for three days (THREE DAYS) if he was strongly leaning toward New York in the first place (which we still do not know). If I had a major decision, and was leaning one way, any advisor worth his salt would tell me to explore the other options to know that my initial inclination was the right decision. It's not like anyone major has come off the market as a result of his very quick tour so unclear what the "wasting time" issue is all about.

While I agree, I think it's best to look at all options, however if 1) he can't fathom leaving the money that NYK can provide, and 2) is unable to move due to his child and/or wife's career...odds are he is likely going through this as he wants to have his ego stroked as he has not participated in free agency before.

Rose story is image-control attempt from his camp. He chose to not be part of the recruiting pitch. 1/2

Yeah. It's a thing now.

This should go without saying. There is nothing to like about Chris Broussard. He will be late on every report, and frame it with SOURCES: even after the direct source has announced it. He once went on ESPN and said LeBron signing with the Bulls was a done deal. He called being gay "an open rebellion to god". He's a complete idiot, and I don't feel bad saying it.

If so, and we never win a title with Derrick, his camp has no right to ever complain about the lack of a supporting cast.

@dan_bernstein: 2/2 Do you really think the #Bulls would ask Taj/Noah to help and NOT ask Rose? C'mon.

To the extent he simply wants the max--which I at this point doubt--he could also be doing the tour to put pressure on NYK to offer him the max...again something SO many free agents do every single offseason.

Uh, it's the 4th and I have a BBQ to prepare and here I am hitting F5. Melo said it's about winning and not about the money and I foolishly believed. My time has been wasted.

@GenoEspn: One of the great non-stories. Sorry, not D-Rose's job to romance Melo. That's why God invented ownership+ management. http://t.co/NtNKLGFhiu

Can Melo finally sign in NY and stop this?

[Jordan45822]

@NYPost_Berman: If he re-signs, people missing point on Melo taking money over winning. Melo investing his $$ in Phil Jackson for long-term. Remember him?

[Chitownbulls]

If Melo goes back, I dont think it ruins Roses image. He did his thing, Melo took 65mil instead. Like wtf

This is BS. Players want to be recruited by other players, afterall they will be immediate co-workers.

By the time the Knicks have their roster turned around he'll be 32+.
