I'd want them to take back JR and give up MCD too. We'll add in Prigs.

Not sure that works under the salary cap rules. Can we really send out 30 million and just take back around 6 even in a S/T? At that point I'd be willing to take back Boozer for all those assets if they added in a bit more.
Enough with the proposals!!!

I honestly think he's right this time. A lot of people in the league and reporters not assigned to espn spin machine are saying melo is signing to ny, Pau is signing, and bron is a possibility if the Knicks can clear cap in next 7 days.

I think he is going to go great here, but seriously it is almost pathetic how some of you praise his every word like he is some basketball guru.
You're right. Perhaps we should all sit around in the basement, angry about basketball. Lights out, wallowing in self pity and lost hope.
There is a difference in having hope for the future and drooling over the words of one man like blind sheep.
I believe the future is bright and I trust Phil until he gives me a reason not to. I'm not, however, going to stop thinking for myself.

That would be pretty fair but I dont know if Knicks would get McD who was obviously the Bulls 2014 pick, and give up 15' and 17'. That's a lot of firsts to give up plus Mirotic who was a first rounder and would have been a way higher pick if not for his buyout and the rumor he only wanted a major market to play in.
taking back JR and Prigs is great for the Knicks for next year but Bulls probably wouldn't have to give up that much guys if the Knicks are making the Bulls take on 2 more players w/ contracts running through next season too.
Ah, you don't need the picks. You're in win-now mode.

No. We always needed to take Boozer back. And will. Dunleavy too. Not sure if it works under the CBA.

Put it this way, I dont think Bulls have a chance anymore, but in the context of our convo here, Knicks more likely would get one of McD or Mirotic plus 15' and 17'. Bulls would have to throw in those unguranteed contracts too for 4 mil which would help the knicks clear that space immediately by cutting those players.

Yep. I said this months ago. Melo will leave, Amare will play like he gives a damn but will go down after we win our 30th game, leaving JR Starks to man the Tank. He'll hit a few game winners giving us another 37 win season and the 13th overall pick
We won 37 games with Melo. If we still win 37 games without Melo then he probably wasn't worth signing anyway.

Let me say this about RR: I would have so much respect for him if his twitter account was for trolling his fellow Knicks fans and he was giggling to himself over each new fantasy he posts and then backs ferociously.
But I don't believe this. The twitter stuff makes me think the guy is legitimately stupid and I have a tough time taking anyone who likes his music seriously because of it.
I don't think its that far-fetched. He's been trolling us for years.

Re: MeloDrama Part V
I don't see the doom and gloom if Melo leaves. Sure, it'll be a loss. But its not like the Knicks have been great with him. One playoff series win in 3 years just isn't going to make me shed tears if he leaves. The east was really bad last year and we couldn't even get into the playoffs. Not blaming Melo, but the team had a lot of problems.
Starting over really isn't the worst thing as long as we do it right. ( and patience is a key)

You're inviting Bulls fans to come in here and annoy everyone by telling us that we need to take Boozer and a second rounder because it's better than nothing.

Re: MeloDrama Part V
I know a lot of Bulls fans are hoping for him to decide and announce by today or tomorrow.
What are your realistic expectations of when Melo and his camp reveal his decision?
