That's what I've been saying.

Don't forget about me and Mitch...

But they don't hear us though

Because you know we're signing both.

Kirk was our starter and helped us to the 4 seed. He's a steal on a vet min deal.

There are probably 20+ teams that would love him as a guard off the bench.

Regardless of the negativity implied, I'd be happy with Hinrich on a vet min deal.

ralphisBullsFan wrote:can this please be the last melo thread?.... its obvious he never had any intentions of playing for the bulls he only came to Chicago to humor Noah and leverage a better deal from other teams. La La was never going to sign off on Chicago, only New York, LA and maybe Miami... its a hard fact to face but with two teams in LA two teams in the state of New York the only way the bulls will ever get another superstar is the same way we always have gotten our superstar and all star talent through the draft...possibly a trade...I always thought that when all these NBA stars were young they dreamed of being Michael Jordan playing on the Bulls...But in reality they only dreamed about being MJ....

If RalphIsBullsFan says this should be the last thread and he's not coming, then I guess this should be the last thread and Melo isnt coming!!!!

LA doesn't really have a better chance to win now at all IMO. They are pretty much in the exact same boat, the difference being that at least PJax has a chance to show his stuff. We've already seen how Buss fails. NYC is just as big globally as LA, so the high life isn't much different at all.

Only thing LA can do to truly convince Melo to come is if they can create a super team, which they can do. But with how Minnesota is acting with Love, might be more difficult than originally expected.

In a thread about Melo, I've managed to get Bulls fan hoping to re-sign Kirk Hinrich

(for the record, I wouldn't mind having Kirk back on a vet min either)

As someone with a raise that was 1/5th of what you got, you should really be thankful.

There is no choice just between NY and LA. Both are offering him money as the main draw, so its obvious you go to the most money. He would have been signed with NY if that was the case.

Why not? LA has Hollywood for his wife and a better chance to win now. And better weather. NYC is his home and offers more money. That's a big, not necessarily easy decision.

In what world? Assuming Melo chooses the Lakers, Kobe comes back and is effective-ish, they re-sign Gasol, and Randle contributes out the gate, that team's ceiling is 1st round of the Western Conference playoffs, in which case one of the Spurs, Clippers, Rockets, Warriors, or Trailblazers dismantle them. If Melo chooses the Knicks, maybe they make the 1st round of the Eastern Conference playoffs since they conference as a whole is still a dumpster fire.

I'd go as far as saying every team in the league would take him on a vet min deal. He's a great backup since he can play both 1 and 2 and is still a very capable defender. Streaky shooter, but does a lot of things to help win games.

Its going to come down to Phil Jackson....Does he want to trade Melo for assets or let him walk to LA or MIA

Peelboy · Post #180 » by **Peelboy** » Mon Jul 7, 2014 8:58 pm

I tell you this, the moves being made today and the various rumors make it MORE likely that Bulls can win if Melo comes here. Miami isn't improving, at best treading water and with declines for Wade/Bosh likely regressing relative to this yr.

If Bron goes to CLE, then MIA disappears into the ocean (thanks global warming!) and Melo in Chi sets up Chi to be favorites for at least a year or 2 and then co-favorites w CLE depending on development of Wiggins.

(If CLE trades Wiggins for Love and then signs Bron, I still take CHI > CLE.)

Basically, Miami not improving significantly bodes well for CHI's fortunes in the EC. Plus it increases chances of Bosh to HOU, which means a Kobe-Melo-Paul trio in LA has that much more of a hump to get over.
