Just a heads up Bulls Fans we're in 2014

In 2014 teams losing free agents have less leverage than they did in 2010. If Melo goes to the Lakers he gets the same contract regardless of whether it's a sign and trade. So the Knicks would get nothing. In 2010, the Knicks could have at least gotten some draft picks out of LA.
I agrees that the Bulls are more dependent on the Knicks and so need to give something of value unless Melo really is willing to go to LA as a fallback or go to the Bulls at a reduced salary. More picks and/or Mirotic could be thrown into this deal. Just making the point that if the Knicks don't want Boozer packaged with the rebuilding assets there would be other ways of structuring it.
Obviously if he wants to go back to NY it's all irrelevant.

Guys like Melo and LeBron didn't have the right influences and role models growing up. They're part of the entitlement generation. If Melo had Dirk or Duncan's leadership, IQ, and humility, nobody here would question giving him the max.

That's the thing, I don't think its a bad contract. Then again I believe in Melo and you don't...much like the majority of the board.
a bad deal is offering from the jump by a large margin over everyone else in any business. deal no matter who it is. And yeah for the record I dont believe melo is worth 129 mil on the court, and durability has always been my reason why. too much money for a player whose been injured every year they've been here, and way too inefficient to command such dollar when the lights are brightest.
He's a #1 if the goal isnt to win at the highest level.....#2 if it is.greenhughes wrote:Say what you want but LA offered that max. Period.
You said "market'. 129 isnt his market, the lakers offer isnt his market either, neither is the bulls.
Notice how three different teams offered three different things. Not market, CBA dictates what they can.greenhughes wrote:Chicago simply can't as they have money tied up. You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes to say who's trying to move what so your point there is mute.
Sure they could, they wont because they dont want a gutted team just to get Melo. but they certainly could if they wanted to.greenhughes wrote:Fact: LA offered the Max.
Fact: Other teams want him but don't have the necessary cap space to offer the max.
Thats all LA could do, but it isnt "market" as you want it to be believed.
If a team truly wanted a legit shot for Melo, they'd make the room....plain and simple. The well known destination (Bulls) isnt even doing it, and there's no indication they would even if he picked them.
Still offering your feelings up as fact. That don't work on me, nor will it ever....my personal FACT!
The only thing we have money wise over other teams is that extra year...FACTS!
The starting salary for both us and the Lakers are in fact the same....again FACTS!
Thug get out your feelings about Melo as a player. You don't know what's going on behind the scenes. How do you know what Chicago is trying to move? You don't. Your opinion is non-valid on that issue....once again FACTS!
Two teams who have the money to do so, have offered Carmelo Anthony the Max they are allowed to. FACTS!
Everything else is how you feel about the situation...FACT#

If Melo cared about the organization he played under, he would never have forced a trade to NY to play for Dolan and D'Antoni. He would have stayed with Ujiri and a perennial 50+ win team.
