Somebody tweet it to Melo in the off chance he actually looks at his own twitter instead of a PR team

The best time to visit the Knicks board was the season we traded them Curry.

Good times they were.

Melo said he tried with Pau, Phil said he tried with his vision and max contract. both sides don't damage image.

Phil S&T, Melo to Bulls *positive thinking*

Yea but its up to Melo to tell Phil "Im going to the Bulls whether you S&T me or not" and Phil to call his bluff for that to happen.

According to two people with knowledge of the situation, the Knicks are confident about their standing in the sweepstakes and consider the Bulls the only real threat among the many suitors. A decision is expected from Anthony by Monday, though the ever-present fluidity of free agency means there is no definitive timeline. The people spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the negotiations.

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


he doesnt act like a grown man

Um, how doesn't he? Because he doesn't adhere to your rules of recruiting and speaking to the media? :nonono:

It's pretty funny - when it looked like he was leaving, a bunch of them went on a rant about how he isn't worth max money at his age. Now most of them have back tracked now that it looks like that's exactly what he'll sign for.



I spoke to a few of them last night and the consensus was that the max deal sucks. Some thought they could survive it, some thought they were screwed. Personally, I was just happy to make it out alive :lol:

I'm surprised that you made it out alive as well because I know some bulls posters got banned from the NYK board.

You say that as if you've never been forced to wear an outfit by your mom, then told to smile and act happy about it for the camera unless you want her to whoop your ass. :lol:
