Rose should have dressed up like Batman and rolled into the Melo meeting in the Batmobile.

DC > Marvel, we would have had him signed by Friday. Mort agrees with I'm sure.

Does New York even have a first round pick to offer?

He's not really. Hell, people don't even consider him to be Spider-Man anymore.
Garfield is better and more fitting in the role.


Since when does Spider-Man ride skateboards? :nonono:

Rose basically stole money from the Bulls and won't help them get other players

SAS just addressed the Bulls. Said theyre falling out of contention cause they cant clear the max money like they oroginally thought they could. Also hurt them that Rose was not involvedin the receuiting and just ran into Melo coincedentally. SAS says NY is at 70%. Thinks were completely out of it and have no chance cause of the money. SAS says hes told the most we can get Melo is 80 mil, and it isnt enough for him. Damn, lets hope SAS is wrong. Appears that option Ralph brought up with trading Taj to clear max isnt an option.

Gonna take more than just Shumpert. They have no picks to deal(1sts I mean). The real question is... Can Philly sell that to their fans considered the injury plagued guys they already have and 23.4 mil is a lot to swallow when you are going to be bad for several seasons by design.


But honestly that 23.4 Mil from Amar'e doesn't prevent them from doing anything this upcoming season cause they were gonna suck anyway. And he comes off the books next year.

If you can get Shump and some draft picks, it may be worth it.


You are a rebuilding team, you need fully healthy players to at least make it look like you're trying.
Embiid is out for 8 months, Noel is a unknown, Young and MCW are the only truly proven assets and they need to win.

this thread is moving along faster when you all are at work, Vs Sunday morning when some are at Church and the sinners are sleeping from late night Saturday party.

I don't think anyone can lie right now and say anything other then Derrick's current contract has been a disaster so far, and I don't think it will change in the future.

2 mistakes being made in this hold up

Bulls letting Taj get in the way of getting Melo
Melo think 20M per year isn't enough

Either way it's getting done today

I'm sure Derrick feels guilty about getting injured twice, he can't help that and he can't help what his personality is. It makes no sense to wish that Derrick was a different kind of person, because when you get into the wishing game you might as well start wishing that he was Michael Jordan

We should have picked up Melo in Optimus Prime. That would have sealed the deal.
