I still think the bulls are set up better than most teams in the league. Clearly over and over and over we hear they're the best situation you can go to if you want to win. In 2010 that was already decided and there was nothing they could do about it. This year melo choose the money like the majority of people would have done. Chris Bosh just did it yesterday. Cannot blame the front office for this. We'll see if they change their philosophy now and try to get talent through trades since the FA thing is hard.

Jesus. Kyrie Irving is good, but you guys are giving him too much credit. The dude has never shown the ability to be able to carry a team.

This isn't on garpax. How much worse would this be if they gutted the team to offer him the max and he still said no? Melo took the money you can't blame him or the front office. Blame the CBA if you need a scape goat.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) Aggrey smith was right all along , he never bought the melo to bulls, too much money lol guess melo was just using the bulls as leverage, tough decision yea right Doubt he used them as leverage. Dude got the max offer over a week ago from the Knicks. I'd believe this if he committed right after his meeting with the Knicks.

Woj reporting it's done. Melo to remain a knick.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) This morning it sounds to me the opposite, the press seems to think the Knickerbockers confidence is growing and the Bulls are starting to move on. All we've heard is reports from beat reporters who have been shown to know nothing. Until I hear something from Melos camp, the bulls, or the Knicks none of that matters. All three have been eerily silent the past day.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) Why not? He's been in the league 6 years and seen as many playoffs games as me. LeBron/Irving/Love/Wiggins is a potential dynasty. What team out there can offer that type of winning and that type of winning right away? Obviously Cleveland is what he'd prefer, but he's not going to put all his eggs in the Cleveland basket.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) So I see the Cavs now have Mike Miller, who had his best shooting season in years and was actually healthy in '14, all but locked up. And now word is the Cavs aren't trading Wiggins and are offering Waiters/Bennent/draft picks for Love. That doesn't sound like nearly enough but if Love says the only team he'll extend with is Cleveland, aren't the wolves pretty f***ed? I don't think love would say that because I'm sure there are more teams he'd extend with.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 02:12 AM) x1000. There is an exception for anything and everything. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 02:20 AM) I'm so glad MLB doesn't have a salary cap. Especially a soft salary cap with a million different exceptions. I mean do NBA GMs even understand it fully?

Things I've learned the last week or two: the NBA salary cap and it's rules make almost no sense.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:58 AM) Nobody has said it's MLE other than that guy on CBS Radio. BTW, that's not the Score, that's CBS Sports radio. Yes. The only reporter who is awake it seems is Woj. Need more info.

The score reporting it's for the MLE. Which would almost seal Melo to the bulls with a sign and trade involving Taj. Otherwise there's no reason to make that move.

Amazing how much the bulls real gm forum is exploding at 2am.

Frank isola saying this means melo to NY.... Lol, not sure that means that at all. There must be ways for pau and melo to come over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) We're less than 30% of the way to the length of the 2010-2011 thread. That didn't even include that offseason. Wow.

Maybe just maybe all the scenarios we've discussed are wrong and melo just has no idea yet.

Or the more likely scenario is Lebron is waiting for Bosh to leave first so he doesn't look like the bad guy as much when he bolts to Cleveland.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) Houston should tell Bosh come now or forget it be a man Bosh! Pretty sure with the parsons offer sheet it's pretty much been said to him already.

Cannot wait for the 30 for 30 on the 2010 and 2014 NBA offseasons.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) Cowley -One NBA insider just said that he's not buying Melo's anguish, and wrote it all off as "the guy just doesn't want to be hated.'' He's leaving NY, and is afraid of catching the Lebron backlash. Which he wouldn't because he's not joining with two other superstars.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Aggrey Sam is a good reporter. No reason to hate on him. No we must hate on every reporter who post things that are not pro melo to the bulls.

There is now a car accident outside lebrons house. This s*** just keeps getting better. I'm not even mad anymore. I hope this last forever.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) He probably couldn't decipher his texts. He just couldn't type cause of all the rings getting in the way.

Carmelo is the pretty girl that won't text Phil back. Poor Phil.
