Yeah, I have no idea what the hell this means.

Get that money, Melo. You can't roll hard like LBJ and even Dwight Howard who left that max extension cash on the table. Enjoy the nothing that you'll have with you in New York.

The Daily News is a tabloid and that reporter is the Knicks beats guy. So i would expect a non-commital pro-Knicks article like that from him.

On another forum I'm on if you post a link from the NY Daily News you get banned since it's a tabloid so I guess I'm conditioned to it. But I'll believe it from anywhere else.

 

I was mostly just messing around, and you obviously have to hear it from the horse's mouth before anything is official. It was just a funny initial reaction.

so much for caring more about winning.

BUT YOU GUYS, HE BELIEVES IN PHIL!

Several days ago -- and maybe it's changed since but... -- 'Melo hadn't even been able to reach LeBron James, sources tell Yahoo.

Funny how Frank Isola's pro-bulls possibility articles have been linked up like gospel but as soon as he gets a source, and woj retweet, he's discredited.

lol who would trade for that contract?

ya I don't see why you wouldn't trust Isola.. he's no Broussard or Bucher

 

TEH DREAM IS DEAD

ESPN is reporting the story too, but no one else is confirming it.

Not by me.

I think it's a pretty clear sign that Melo is fine trying it for a couple years and if he doesn't like it or Phil doesn't get the FA's he wants, he'll whine his way out of town like he did in Denver.

All that non-leaking and he blows his own announcement within hours of it happening by telling some guy who ran to the NYDN?

Yeah, just strange because any contract would be people paying for the year 30 and year 31 seasons. Now it will be him in decline for 32-onward.

 

Also...didn't he want free agency so he could go to a team that wouldn't have to gut themselves for him?

I mean I think it's reasonable to assume that he didn't know until today. And then he told a friend and the friend told the reporter. Although the story doesn't quote the friend saying "Melo told me he's decided on the Knicks" (officially hit the bargaining stage).

On the bright side, I still like the Bulls in a Heat-less East

Yeah except he'll be 32 with around $60 million left on that contract.

 

It won't be the same situation.

I find it a little odd that it's been nearly 30 minutes and there's been no one else confirming the news.

Wojnarowski mentioned it, but didn't confirm.

 

CBS Sports and ESPN are reporting it with Isola as the source.

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeck 2m

Re Melo: Source says "no decision yet." Teams pursuing him have not received definitive word. @FisolaNYDN reporting Melo is returning to NY.

Hopefully Isola was catfished.

Friedell is happy as a clam. More opportunities to s*** on the Bulls for him.

Well once this Melo thing becomes official we can go back to pretending we're in the race for Kevin Love too!
