Melo Thread 19: It's Spidey Austin..it was Spidey all along.

Yeah, sorry Stein, but we have not moved on to anything else.

We're not out of this. We're the most legitimate threat to steal him from NY, and I won't believe otherwise until Melo says something himself.

What is exactly stealing money when your injured?

Did Derrick know that he was injured before he signed his contract?

Tobey McGuire at least had an acting career before Spiderman

Good lord man. He was in the social network and is a highly accomplished stage actor.
It's not as if he was a unknown.

I hate you all so much for making me discuss comics and adapted comic movies in this Melo thread.

he's an unknown to me

but thanks for making him known

If we don't get Melo, I'd consider throwing 9-10M at Chandler Parsons or Lance Stephenson. Don't know what it would require to steal Parsons away from Houston and how far they'd be willing to match.

Right now I'd be seeing what Flip Saunders wants for Kevin Love. If we can't give him what he wants, then I'd turn my attention to those two guys.

Just a quick check...are we starting to fall victim to the no-news statements that are coming out? We need to get a hold of ourselves.

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

First, you cannot just say some nonsense like that and just act like it's nothing.
There is no universe in which DC is better.

Batman beats all other superheroes, but I will concede that Marvel has a much deeper roster.

Batman sits in his cave and broods. Iron man>Batman....the fight would last 5 seconds.

Jabari is the next big target we need to set our sights on.

We better start now the recruiting of Anthony Davis for 2020.

But wat if they dismantle the roster and he doesnt come?

Both of those guys are going to require $12mil+ imo.

No one turns down a max extension off a rookie contract. Get that thought out of your head right now. :lol:

No they didn't. We can't force people to come here. They have done everything they can do so far.

I disagree. Can't tell me NOT 1 star wants to come play for the Chicago Bulls? GMAB.

I think the FO did a good job of going from point C to point B, but it has been proven over many years they can't get us to Point A.

MisterRoy · Post #1217 » by **MisterRoy** » Mon Jul 7, 2014 5:40 pm

Oh, as a consolation prize...

We trade Taj, MDJ, Snell and some picks to Min for Love. I think we can get something done here.

THEN...amnesty Boozer and sign Stevenson.

Rose/Stevenson/Buter/Love/Noah is not a bad starting 5.

How sad is it that this Spiderman talk is all completely on topic?

If Melo goes to LA, this meme will forever shame him :lol:

Call me naive but I still think its the "walk for nothing" play to make the S&T happen. Until something comes out that disproves that theory, I'm holding on. This is exactly what Pax needs to pressure Phil to help with the S&T.

OMG- HE'S GOING TO LA! HE'S GOING TO LA! HE'S GOING TO LA!

Relax guys. If you can't handle high stakes deals, don't get emotionally involved in the first place.
