[BullsFTW]

What's going on?!

[LCMJ]

still feel confident Melo will be a Bull

[Magilla_Gorilla]

He isn't coming guys.

Okay.

Complete Melo Saturation.


Lebron and Miami no longer the star of this show. Balance has been brought to the universe.

Wrong. Order was restored on June 15, 2014.

How many times are you gonna say this?

[DaeDae]

I guess Gar-Pax has been calling Melo all day, but still NO RINGS

this is how you troll folks. 9.5/10. Pax does have 3 rings though. I docked you for that.

Why would Melo go West in the 1st place

And if he did why go play in LA instead with Houston

It's a bluff move same way he used New Jersey as leverage against New York in 2011

Phil will have to play ball and he'll get a pick or 2 out of it and for those saying he won't he just dealt Chandler for a couple 2nd rounders

Phil is a wildcard in all of this. He can totally play ruiner here and force Melo to sign with the Lakers by flatly refusing to S&T. He can tell Melo its resign in NY or you walk. Then if Melo walks, he gets less money to play for a ****y team, but he might do it just off the principle that he won't be strong-armed into cooperating.

There are signs that Chicago is where Melo is trying to get, but we're going to need 1, maybe 2 front-offices to help us do it. And that's far from a sure thing.

Phil won't let pride get in the way

The 1st rounder(S) are valuable and refusing to do a sign and trade is bad for future relationships especially doing so to a CAA client

Phil is no dummy he won't let Melo walk for nothing

I'm going over this in my mind over and over. I can't find a concrete reason why all of a sudden LA would come on as favorites now after Melo meeting with Phil other than his camp leaking it out to use as leverage in a S&T. My hype levels are at an all time high. Somebody hold me.

Lakers are the Lakers ... The most glamorous franchise in the NBA ... On the other hand, Los Angeles is the perfect place for La La and her lifestyle ... Combine that with the fact that the Lakers can offer Melo the max, and you could see that we don't stand a chance ... Melo is not about winning ... If he was about winning, he would have already committed to the Bulls ... He is simply after his last fat pay cheque, and a nice place where he can retire ...

I agree why LA is a good destination but its the timing of this "LA as favorites" that is suss. If they were favorites before we would of known already. There is no reason I can think of that Melo would change his mind on this overnight other than the leverage angle.

Just end it please, for the love of God someone sign somewhere.

I CAN'T TAKES NO MORE CAPTAIN!

Well then you're doomed. The minute the Melodrama ends, this board moves straight into "trade for Kevin Love" mode if Melo doesn't sign with the Bulls or "can/will Rose's health hold up" if he does.

I'll take it, I'll be out of my misery then at least.

[PJ Brown]

I bet there's quite a bit to the Laker thing. It smells a lot like Lebron to the Heat. It made no sense when it first leaked out, but it ended up happening. We know they have cap. We know they can probably produce Gasol, who for better or worse is clearly part of Carmelo's preferred plan. It's a bad decision, but that doesn't mean it's not his decision.

The emotions of this board over the last 24 hours summed up in 2 minutes. God bless Marty McFly.

You know when we sign him you have to give us the George McFly enchantment under the sea dance solo

I'm very familiar with Phil Jackson. And that dude is more than a little nuts. Throw out logic and probability, he's probably consulting an 8-ball for the answers. And I don't mean the toy.

[kdapiton]

Reading through the past few pages, and I'm losing my f--- mind.

[BullRosed]

I can confirm what Ralph said about Melo+Gasol, unless we have the same source Trade was discussed. Not sure why, since the Knicks would be taking away a lot of the leverage they have, but there's that.

What did Ralph say I been busy and missed a lot of news please bring me up to speed thanks in advance

Spot on. Gaining a bad rep with agents holds a lot of weight imo

Until he decides to come? Don't f*** with it dude!!
