It shouldn't be the FO has done a good job of it, but somehow it's Taj's fault I guess.

No argument. Just some friendly needling. I hope you stick it out actually. The board is better with passionate folks such as yourself. Just hate to see people losing their minds over Carmelo Anthony.

Losing my mind indeed. What's funny is....you know what my wife said to me yesteday?

"I thought you SWORE you wouldn't do this again, after what happened with Lebron in 2010!"

She sounded kinda pissed when she said it too. :lol:

Basically, the equivalent of a Miami bandwagon fan. If I were a Knicks fan, I would surely shun you.... and as a Bulls fan, I must, as well.

Probably because he recognizes there's more to life than your rigid definition of what being a fan is and what random Internet people think of him.

No worries, within 30 seconds, or less, after "The Announcement" or any other type of block-busting news, like LeBron signing somewhere, the server will be so overloaded that the site will go down. :banghead:

either melo is an idiot or he is gone.

Or it was worth 900,000 to check your options.

I'm going to go with that one.

he passed up 900k + the close to 30 million he could have gotten in that 6th year.

What exactly new could he have learned in these recruitment? Im sure melo's agents and handlers were able to tell him what Chicago, la, hou and dal could offer.

maybe the 900k and 6th year is what he meant by willing to take less to win.

Seems like he waiting for others moves to be made and it ain't from us.

Seems like all we did was offer him a take it or leave it deal where we wouldn't part with taj. He gave no definitive answer so we like the lame dude waiting on that girl to call, then one day we out at the store and we see that girl out with another guy. Sometimes you gotta take a hint

And do what? I could understand if there were other FA's the Bulls were missing out on due to Melo's decision but there really aren't.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Amnesty boozer trade dunleavy

Sign lance Stephenson and take advantage of Cleveland stupidity and trade for Jarrett jack pennies on the dollar

Rose/Kirk
Lance/Jarrett
Jimmy/ McDermott
Taj/ mirotic
Noah/ smith

Finals lock and beats Miami without bosh with melo wade and lebron

I hope Melo realizes how many people will hate him if he goes to Miami

He is overplaying his public relations hand (with me at least), by dragging this out into another week. I'll check in from time to time, but I've wasted enough time in my real life on this.

He's trying to leverage for a S&T to CHI or more money to stay in NY.

You are talking to me, so I will answer: If he were trying to leverage his way to Chicago, why not just put it out there publically that he has asked NY to sign and trade him to Chicago, and put the pressure on Phil Jackson to "behave" and capitulate?

Because if there was no third team present, Melo can't threaten the Knicks to S&T him and risk losing him for nothing. If he declares Chicago right away, it's guarantee PJ will extract the Bulls with assets, and Melo does not want that, because he will not be coming to a team that cannot contend for a title.

It could be Melo angling himself to play for a championship caliber contender, while getting his money.

Melo never made sense basketball wise, so he could using them as leverage for all we know, or he was sold after the Tobey Maguire short film.

I had no comeback. But it did take me 24 hours to admit she's right. I'm better than this. :nonono:

MAQ · Post #520 » by **MAQ** » Mon Jul 7, 2014 12:48 pm

I'll also say this...

I think if Melo signs here, LBJ's going to the Cavs.

If Melo goes to Houston, I think he goes to the Cavs too...

Otherwise he stays with MIA.
