Eh sucks for the Bulls but if he goes to LA it really has no effect on them in the end. That team even with Melo isn't making it anywhere close to out of the west. They aren't better than the Spurs, Thunder, or Clippers and the Warriors and Trail Blazers may be better as well. I'd be more worried about him going to the Knicks and them adding some pieces next summer and being a team in the Bulls way of making it anywhere in the East.

Getting Rose healthy is the most important piece to the Bulls team. A healthy Rose makes them a definite finals threat because of how weak the East is.

HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get too excited...it's just some dude that lurks these boards. He use to post here acting like he had sources, but he was just posting what other people would say on twitter.

I haven't heard anything about Melo's lawyers heading to Chicago. People really need to stop making up stories.

lol Well ya see...the thing is...

The Big 4 in Miami is going to blindside everyone tomorrow.

only half kidding.

That would be the surprise of all surprises. Doesn't fit with the "Lebron wants the max" stories we've been hearing about for several days now.

Big 4 in name only. Wade + Bosh might count for one "star" at this point given Wade's inability to stay healthy and Bosh's dumb idea to try and turn himself into Dirk on offense.

I used to doubt lurkers too until that lurker from the Brooklyn Nets board had the most epic post in RealGM history.

There is no reason for Melo to have his lawyers in Chicago, just stupidity.

Yeah, but we know what who boogy is. Dude got banned from these boards for a reason.

Out of curiosity, what was it?

New plan for the remainder of the weekend: What's the dumbest rumor we can get Boogey to run with?

[I beg to differ]

If Anthony ends up telling NY that he wants a sign and trade to Chicago but if they can't work it out, he will go to LA, I claim official ownership of teh interwebs for a full 24 hours.

Phil will probably call Melo on his bluff. Melo needs to use a more believable destination as leverage, like Houston.

If Melo says: "sign-and-trade me to Chicago for peanuts, or lose me for nothing to LA," he's showing his hand that he wants to play for Chicago. It's not believable that someone who wants Chicago's roster+coach will easily settle for LA.

Some dude broke the Kidd to Milw thing.

You guys do realize Boogey has taken those two posts from earlier in the thread, and that's his source of the 'unverified lawyer rumour'.

Sources close to Melo are saying that he's going to Houston with Pau Gasol and Dwight going back to LA in a S&T with Gasol.

He posted about JKidd asking to get more control over the nets and then the Nets rejecting his requesting and releasing his rights to his contract so he could go coach the Bucks. That was the gist of it.

He posted that like days before it was released nationally.

[SHO'NUFF]

All I'm thinking is how much it'd suck for Melo if he came here (while in his prime) and didn't win a Championship. How'd he feel about leaving all that money on the table then?

"At least he tried."...won't cut it.....not with $60 mill. The media would bury him and people would keep talking about it.

[CalilLove89]

If Melo goes to Miami, Knicks and Bulls fan should unite

My "two hands" theory

It would be like two hands coming together, you know, one that is infinitely more useful and relied upon to accomplish 99 percent of tasks, and another one that you just laugh at how horribly uncoordinated and useless it is, but still keeps you entertained.

This is actually how I think about the two boards, they are the only two I keep up with.

those guys sounded credible though

lawyers don't lie

[dice]

i thought that melo getting maxed by the knicks was the best scenario, but a sign and trade to LA would be glorious
