You guys will believe just about anything at this point won't you? Come'on man.
This Melo drama is making us all lose our logic a little. Lets keep a level head here folks.

Ohhhhhh KnicksGod. It's been a few years. Didn't he come onto the Bulls board and start suspending people?

Still my favorite quote from him back in 2010 about LeBron (paraphrasing)
"Midwesterners are more gullible than East Coast people when it comes to rumors. I believe he (LeBron) will be either a Cav or a Knick."

Bulls are playing all their cards for Melo....we are 100% ALL IN. Our first pitch was keeping Taj, Melo take less money but if theres ways to get Melo his 20mil while keeping the team in tact...Im sure Melo would love that idea.
If there was one flaw in this whole recruiting process it was bringing Taj into the meeting. I think it was short sighted to thing Melo would sacrifice that much money to play with a "complete" roster. They should have proposed all options (including dumping Taj and signing Gasol) WITHOUT Taj there. I hope I'm wrong but I think it's just too late to send Taj out now. Not so much from the Bulls perspective but from the players view.
Think about it. You just brought a guy in to help pitch me on coming, a guy who by all accounts has at least some association to Melo no less, and now I'm going to just sign and watch you trade him away so you can offer me more money? Which is really what I'd need to consider playing here anyway?
Players are competitive, greedy, and it's a business, sure. But there's also a lot of camaraderie in the league. Sometimes you reach a point where it's just not "right". Again, I hope I'm completely off here but I think from Melo's POV it just wouldn't be "right" to do Taj like that. But he wants his money and fortunately for him, he's got other options to get it.
I think this is homer glasses. Rose / Butler / Melo / ??? / Noah with vet mins and Doug McDermott is not a competitor in year 1.
People keep bringing it up but then refusing to look at what happens to the team. When you dump Taj for capspace, you no longer put a team on the court that can compete for a title in year 1. Its not that Taj is that good, its that a team with no PF better than vet min is that bad.
The only reason why Chicago is in this is because they present the best team and the best chance to win. Gut that and you are just the Lakers or barely above the Knicks.
Chicago's best chance to get Melo was always sign and trade. It gets Melo his money and creates a team that can compete immediately. The problem with that is trying to push it through.
Regardless, Chicago effectively presented Melo with the sign and trade team. They put their best foot forward.

I agree, but the Knicks board is a whole different monster, haha. The story in itself sounds like he's mocking other rumors from 'sources'. I bet they've gotten a lot of that stuff. I just don't see why Melo would even bother bringing his dogs to Highland park... leave them at home.
