Who, and more importantly, why?

If Melo goes to Chicago. LA has a ton of cap space. Boston will have a ton of cap space.

Which two players are you targeting, why, and why and they coming to NY?



You target the best players available who fit your system.

Is Boston without Rondo that much more appealing than a Knicks team who just tanked to get a top-10 prospect, to go along with the other picks, MCD, Mirotic, etc, and Calderon?

Gasol and Love wouldn't consider playing together on max deals? Gasol and Millsap?

What you are saying is, without Melo, the Knicks will never sign another big free agent ever. I find that hard to believe.

I thought he said Chicago was out of the sweepstakes, along with Houston and Dallas. That contradicts what he said saying the Bulls are still alive no?
Make the Knicks great again!

Ignoring the fact Love very likely won't make it to free agency, why are you prepared to offer any of those players the max and not melo?

Milsap at the max but not melo?

Explain?

What you are saying is, without Melo, the Knicks will never sign another big free agent ever. I find that hard to believe.


What I'm saying it Melo is your best shot at signing a big free agent. And then singing one big free agent makes it easier to sign another.

This sounds exactly like the Gallo/Chandler debate when we said stars would love to play with them.
Well then...

SMH. I hope Realgm has verified that this Carl is real and not just a huge troll. It would be very embarrassing if this was all a hoax.

There is a growing sentiment around the NBA that Carmelo Anthony is hoping that Chris Bosh will sign with the Rockets so that he can join LeBon James in Miami, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
Stein reported that five teams he talked to expressed the same thought as Carmelo's free agency decision drags on. This situation has turned into a bit of a high-stakes game of chicken to see which free agent will blink first and sign with Houston as the Rockets have reportedly offered max contracts to both Bosh and Anthony. The Bulls, Lakers, and Knicks are also in the running for Anthony's services while LeBron could thrown a huge wrench into the entire situation by signing with his hometown Cavaliers. This situation is getting cloudier by the day, but we should have some clarity soon after one of the proverbial dominoes fall.

Carmelo could have ruled them out internally but has not yet informed anyone externally. That is not a contradiction although, as a general matter, I don't buy anything being said but I am enjoying this so Im going to ride with it.

Sigh... are you really going to try to reconcile every scrap of speculation to Carl's prediction?

All the tweet says is Chicago hasn't been iNFORMED they're out of it - it doesn't contradict anything.
