He's a grown man, he can do what he wants. He did his part to recruit.

Lmao, he can't win with u all no matter what he decides.

The problem is the Bulls need Melo to commit.

I agree, it is likely a deal if Melo commits to Chicago.

I appreciate the poster sharing their information.

Can someone fill me in on this. Do we supposedly have a Boozer deal in place with Utah? Were there any details in what we'd be sending out?

MnM24 posted the details above. Boozer, Snell and a first.

I'd be extremely happy if that happened. As long as the first is 2016 one

Put yourself in his situation and grab a calculator or load the app up on your phone.

Figure your annual salary and multiply that by .74. Would you uproot your family and lifestyle and move 800 miles away to make that much at a company you HOPE is better than your current employer?

Bonus credit. Figure out what you'll make at your current employer for the next 5 years if you stay there. Memorize it. Now multiply amount by .49. Worth moving and uprooting then? Didn't think so.

I think you have it wrong. He would be going to a company that IS better than his current employer. The lifestyle argument needs to stop. Their is nothing in New York you can do with money that in Chicago you can't. The mental gymnastics people will do to justify Carmelo's possible decision to stay is baffling.

Board needs to really pick up the pace to hit 100 today.

Was playing the remix tour on NBA Jam. Pretty tough if anybody tried it. Well I just took down Melo and the Nuggets mascot with Pippen and Boozer. Hopefully that's a sign, somehow.

We all know the big question marks surrounding the team. We expect injuries to be a thing of the past, but, until it happens, you can't be certain.

OK, so you put the teams on paper, as they are, with Melo on the Bulls and you tell me which team is better. It's not even a comparison. :crazy:

I really thought Melo was a winner.....Im sure the Bulls have a trade in place to get him 18-20 mil if he wants to be here.

I agree. There were no surprises. Everyone knows who has what and what's going on.

I don't even know how to feel about this right now. In 2010, all of the rumors leading up to "The Decision" pointed to either the Bulls or Cavs being the places that Lebron went. Only one person out of all the reports said that Lebron was going to the Heat. Then on that day, everyone was shocked because all of the reports had him going to Chicago, or staying in Cleveland. So I guess there is some sliver of hope.

Then on the other hand, I think i'm still just going to give up that hope. Don't want to be heartbroken again. To that, I'll say that if he chooses money, I'll be happy to see him miserable when the knicks are still pitiful next year and beyond. If he picks Houston, then at least I'd understand that he may be thinking about legacy. It's kind of eerie, because none of the rumors really talk about Houston all that much......just like how much of the rumors in 2010 didn't involve the heat

I just wish the decision will be made already :banghead:

Let's just be thankful that didn't come to pass.

Maybe we need to start a rumor to get things rolling?

@KCJHoop: Melo situation has been lost a bit in Mirotic and DRose stuff. But prevailing sentiment remains: Knicks faves, w/ Bulls choice if he leaves.
