Of course though, you gotta take everything you read with a grain of salt. Check the source, come to your own conclusions, especially since he has a tendency to misconvey some of the articles he references.

I swear, if Derrick does something like that when he returns this coming season...

I just want to see one moment of pure, beastly Rose off the bat. Please basketball gods.

He can jump in with more details if he wants too.

Please do, Mr. Beast. I need some positive reinforcement, or at the very least I need an updated momentum chart to show where my level of enthusiasm should be at this point.


I love this board, because its full of crazed fans and intelligent posters. I've learned a lot from this board and one lesson I learned quickly was that 99.9% of the "inside sources" here are half baked stories at best. They are told through a fans perspective and because of that, they are embellished like the size of the fish you caught last week. It makes for fun reading, but don't hold much stock in them.

From my perspective, there is 1 reporter to put your chips in on and that's Woj. The rest you have to sift through and figure out what you want to believe versus not. That's part of the fun of it all.

At this point, I think its safe to say that its a 3 team race for Melo. Its between us, LA and NY. Who wins is anyone's guess. Just sit back and enjoy the madness. Sooner or later Woj will break the story and we'll either pop the champagne or we'll start convincing ourselves Lance Stephenson isn't insane.

Have to say Melo handled this well. Took less time then James in 2010, and with less than. 24 hrs to go we still don't know where he is going. SAS was calling the MIA collusion days ahead.

Every time I see Rose highlights from his younger years, I cant stop thinking about my opinion that he's put too much upper body mass on for his frame & playstyle, which has led to these knee injuries :-(.

Yep. It's going to be really fun. I'd rather not be part of it though. ;)

Hopefully next news we hear is Melo informing Knicks he won't return and he's undecided between Chicago and LA

Something needs to break; anything. I am tired of looking at: Lakers emerge as Knicks top threat to acquire Carmelo Anthony.

Yeah I was scratching my head at him bulking up while recovering from ACL. Then he came back going a mile a minute and was holding my breath every night until his torn meniscus. Hoping Rose learns to chill a bit and let the game come to him.

Yep. That's exactly what I'm hoping for. Melo may have to come out to the media to force Phil to make a deal.

For the first time in a few years I had some vivid Bulls dreams.

I dreamt the meeting of the lawyers today was true, and that I was in the meeting!!!

Every part of me wanted to post on Real GM but I was scared the twoheaded monster boss GarPax would know it was me and I'd be out of a job.


Anyway. There was a lot of side discussion about Investments and business opportunities in Chicago. Also, Melo and family showed up later. He looked a lot younger in my dreams than what he looks like on tv. That last part I think is related to how recently I am having a hard time with how I've realized that most players in the four major sports are actually younger than me (31).

Or alternatively, they are reporting that Melo is not coming to the Bulls because it is much more likely that he will stay in NY or move to LA, a couple of destinations that are much better fit for him as a player, and for the lifestyle of his wife?
