FYI, here is the best team I can put together if the Bulls were to pay Melo his max FA salary of $22,458,401:

Anthony- $22,458,401
Rose - $18,862,876
Noah - $12,700,000
Butler - $2,008,748
Smith - $948,163915,243
McDermott - $1,898,300
Roster charge ($507,336) x 7 = $3,551,352
Rip* - $333,334

Total: $62,761,174

Rose, vet min
Butler, vet min
Melo, McDermott
Room MLE, Bairstow
Noah, Smith

Still better than anything NY or LA can put together. And I would do it. I know that others disagree - that it would amount to "gutting" the roster. But all you are really losing are Taj and MDJ. And they can be replaced, quickly if the Bulls are aggressive.

Keep hearing, fwiw, that the Lakers have pushed strongly the idea that L.A. can be "Carmelo's team" once Kobe's contract expires in 2 years.

ESPNNY writer

Did anyone tell Kobe?

: Kobe, are you passing the torch to Melo?

Kobe: I aint passing shi**!

I bet they wouldnt have said that if Kobe was at the meeting. :lol:

It wouldve been so perfectly awkward if Kobe walked in as they were suggesting that.

Mitch:" In two years it'll be your team when Kobe retires....Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden.......He's standing right behind me isnt he..." :lol:

The lakers can be Carmelo's team after he turns 32. Bright future.

This offseason doesn't make any sense to me. At least in 2010. while the big in Miami was a shocker I could comprehend it as the easiest path to a ring for those three. Boozer to Chi because well he was the last big time FA and for years we were looking for that post guy and Amare to NY because Amare despite his knees was a big time player.

This offseason makes no sense. Well, except for Bosh to Houston. That makes sense. Melo to Lakers? Makes no sense. Why the lakers just don't hold out for Love makes no sense. I just don't understand.

I can't stand this garbage. Melo and Lebron absolutely own this league and we still pay attention and watch every little speech by SAS and Chris Broussard. :banghead:

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bulls/p ... s-for-melo

CHICAGO -- Just a few hours hours after beginning the recruiting pitch to bring Carmelo Anthony to Chicago, Bulls general manager Gar Forman exited the United Center walking out of the same entrance that Anthony had come in. It was just before 6 p.m. CT on Tuesday as Forman strolled to the parking lot alongside Chicago Blackhawks President and CEO John McDonough. The basketball lifer was in good spirits as he headed to his car.

The first part of the meeting had apparently gone off without much of a hitch. Anthony had been whisked into the United Center by a van carrying, among others, coach Tom Thibodeau. He was given a private tour of the Bulls' new practice facility and was sold on the belief among many within the organization that the Bulls gave him the best chance to compete for a championship right away.

Signs of Anthony wearing a No. 7 Bulls jersey alongside the Larry O'Brien Trophy dotted the sides of the building. As Forman got into his car, he had a lot to feel good about. He and assistant GM Randy Brown were among several members of the organization headed over to continue speaking with Anthony at a downtown hotel. Optimism was the prevailing theme of the day as Forman left that day...."

Anthony is now expected to decide between taking a five-year max contract with the New York Knicks for about $129 million or a four-year max contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for $96 million. The Bulls' offer would have only started off at about $17 million next year given that the organization would like to keep its core of Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and rookie Doug McDermott intact. "

Friedell is negative again, everything is right in the world.

I wanna see Melo and LeBron duel in the East the next 5 years while Durant and RWB battle CP3 and Blake in the West

Heat should sign Eric Bledsoe

Coming from Broufraud, this probably isn't true. But if Bosh goes, it's on to Plan B for us. Writing on the wall. Melo to Miami and these pricks continue their little joyride.
