MeloDrama 6.5: The Prelude

[Red Vines]

Let's be honest, if Melo and Lebron want to pair up it will be in Miami. Lebron has loyalty to Riley, Melo has none to Phil, Lebron is the alpha dog, he'll tell Melo what to do.

Where are Wade and Bosh in that soap opera?

Bosh would be ditched, Wade would take less if had to. Don't think it's likely at all though, as everyone has pointed out they wouldn't be that much better if at all.

Is today supposed to be the day?

What's the update on the update?

I haven't been following this sh*t very closely.

Stephen A. Smith says Wednesday or Thursday.
Broussard says late week.

We are all wasting our time today.

Robert Randolph keeps trolling... I hope he's right tho...

If Herb was still around we would know exactly what was going on. And you guys thought he was useless

Wait a minute....

is Herb.. Carl???/

[Deeeez Knicks]

I still don't trust Robert Randolph. He is the anti-Carl

[KnicksManiac]

Robert Randolph also said that Bargs would fit in well with with the triangle offense. So there's that.

we know nothing and likely we will not know anything for quite a while more.

the knicks might or might not trying to offload amar'e on philly
the knicks might or might not trying to acquire Pau
the knicks might or might not trying to offload bargs
the knicks might or might not trying to acquire Lebron
the knicks might or might not be closer to resign melo.

oh, and Carl2860 might or might not be anticipating something good- -or bad- is going to go down, sooner or later.

Bosh would be excess and let go. I think the problem is Wade. Wade would have to agree to some serious discount to basically become the 3rd wheel and hanger on for a team that technically is his.

Didn't you say building through the draft (and also through cap space by extension) was a bad idea because we don't have a 2016 pick?

I avoid absolutes, is where this is going.

Yes, I think a draft rebuild is a WORSE idea than a Melo at the max rebuild.

But I rarely say anything is certain or impossible.

Yes, the Knicks could get the second coming of Jordan in 2015. I still think new-Jordan could use a good wing man so not having a 2016 pick is in NO way a good thing, but I'm not ruling anything out.

I just think ANYONE putting weight in the $4m between Melo at the max in 2015 and melo at what people want his salary to be ALSO have to acknowledge 2015 is significantly worse than 2015 and 2016.

Harping over one and glossing over the other seems ridiculously dishonest.

[[GR]]

This is awful.


melo is waiting for two things:

Bosh to decide, so he can join Lebron

or


There REALLY is a deal to trade Amare, and he's waiting for it to happen, to figure out the best move.

I think he fits the triangle offense to. A big that can hit the 12/18 footer consistently.

Or maybe we've just seen this show a million times before.

But really, could someone break down the exact cap space we would have if Melo signed his max deal with raises?

I think that will help all of us and give us a clearer picture. As I broke it down, we wouldn't be able to afford a top wing man as you put it.

[Capn'O]

Amare and Melo never quite did hit it off, eh?

[dreamer3kx]

Im still wondering how Riley talked Wade into opting out, I know Riley is up to things but I dont understand why Wade would do that?

[ag3]

If any of this is real, we should hear about either a Bargnani or Amare trade today or tomorrow.

He probably promised him a 4yrs. $55-$60 million contract.
Which is illegal to do, btw.

But try and prove it.
