Lets make Melo #18 the last one. And by the way change your picture bro. Götze is a huge disappointment for us. he better start contributing.

Götze has been in a bit of a form dip since February, but I trust he can turn it around. I'd start him over Özil on Tuesday, I think he's due for one of those magical performances.

I would freak out if we get Melo and win this freaking game on Tuesday. One of Two would be decent.

But I agree Özil is too soft.

Well, we'll probably not get Melo AND lose to you guys on Tuesday.

Ixnay. The trade has been shellacked as I have exercised my no trade clause. I like MoneyMitch as much as the next guy, but I'm a ride or die for my Bulls.

They do know KC really isn't a girl right?

They honestly don't even want Melo

They just don't wanna lose

They keep saying we won 37 games with him completely disregarding the 54 wins the year before

I don't mean to be a jerk, but look at that 54 wins.

The Knicks were 18-5 at one point that season.
http://espn.go.com/nba/team/stats/_/nam ... ork-knicks

That was their November stat line. They shot 42% as a team from 3 with guys like Jason Kidd, Felton and Nowak doing most of the damage. It was unsustainable to start with and the players who fueled it are mostly gone. The rest of the way, they were 36-23.

This won't be popular in NY, but the trade that I thought really screwed that team was Bargnani. hey used expiring contracts and picks to bring in a guy who is absolute garbage. If they had actually brought in a good player, this whole Melodrama probably doesn't even happen.

There aren't more than like three NY fans that would disagree with you. We pretty much ALL hate that trade.

But there needs to be an easier way to find the latest update.

Yeah this would be a good move. But I think the powers that be are pretty happy with the traffic - even though it 's a huge waste of time for most of us.

There's now one of these. Updates can go there.

You're under contract, you have no leverage. :lol:

Nothing at all from today. We reached out to Glen Davis, but it's unclear how that fits into anything yet. Speculation we're gearing up to trade Taj, but..I just don't see it happening.

You joined in 2012. You don't have enough years on the board to qualify for a no trade clause under the CBA. Buh bye.

Thank God the Bulls didn't deal Boozer for Bargnani. I'll take the ability to amnesty Boozer any day over having a stretch four who can't shoot anymore on the roster.

I'm feeling something big today. People love to release news on Sunday.

Pretty much

I think Melo is in LA still so around midnight something should happen

The Melo trade happened close to midnight I think

The Big Baby thing has to be speculation on a trade or something right?

He is not a player I could see the Bulls entertaining bringing in here.

Especially w/ his immaturity and off court problems.

No way man, dont believe it.

You going to Fan Meile for the final? I'm seriously considering it.
