I actually think the lack of a team full of villains will bring NBA ratings down, but from a competition stand-point, I think this is good for the league.

Wade's wife had some issues herself. I wouldn't buy everything she says a 100% truth.

 

Besides, if how a guy treats his wife is a big deal in your opinion whether or not you like a professional athlete, there are very few you will be able to like.

 

Wife beater--I can see the hate. Wife cheater--that eliminates about 90% of the players if not more.

 

Wade divorced his wife, she didn't file to divorce him. She did say Wade paid off her attorney to agree to the settlement. I think she may be a wackadoo.

Hope Cavs DONT get Love.

Hope Cavs DONT get Love.

 

You should hope they do. It really forces Melo's hand even more.

Unless LeBron said "im resigning with the Heat go ahead an opt out" no one was "f***ed" here.. they made their own decisions

 

There's no chance those guys opt out if they don't believe Lebron is basically a lock to come back. He had to have said, i'm most likely staying with the Heat, you guys should opt out. Hell, the Cleveland rumors didn't even start until a week ago, well after they opted out.

Before we figure out what it all means, lets take a moment to think of Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade...and laugh.

Cavs become instant favorites even with Melo in Chicago.

Sorry I don't buy that, you would have to be incredibly foolish to opt out of that kind of money without a guarantee. Unless a report comes out soon that says LeBron gave his commitment to come back and then changed his mind, there is no one to blame but themselves.

Update: Sorry, you were talking about w/Love. I think Bulls with Melo are even with Cavs with big 3.

IF we land Melo and they don't land Love I will take us in the East at least.

Hope Cavs DONT get Love.

 

It would be shocking if they don't

Agreed.

Right, they would be foolish. But they did it anyway, because they were probably under the impression that he was coming back and they all wanted to restructure their deals.

I just hope this helps the bulls in that melo will see how he's screwed with the Knicks and that he doesn't see all the love Lebron is getting for going home and melo would be leaving home.

Well considering Bosh is going to get big money from Houston and Wade will just resign with the Heat which will almost surely be for as much money as he left behind, I dont see how anyone is screwed here.

Haha. Not sure which one I hate more. Since I used to like Wade, I guess Riley. Ah well, back to hating the Cavs again.

@ESPNSteinLine: Source close to situation says Kevin Love indeed "intrigued" by idea of being dealt to Cavs and would commit long there if traded there

If love does goes there which seems like it will, and we don't get melo well yea..

I still don't buy Love signing in Cleveland long term.

You're right on Bosh (which is why I didn't include him). Miami would be moronic to sign Wade to a 2 year, 42 million dollar (or more likely what he was promised, 3 years 50 something) for a s***ty team that's not going to win. Wade got f***ed here. Haslem gave up a 4-5 million contract and he'll be out of the league now.

 

True, Riley and Miami could still pay them if they're honorable people, but it's not guarantee they will.

Don't forget that all this "home town" stuff could pull Melo to NY too

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 2m

LeBron James, Dan Gilbert, Rich Paul and Maverick Carter met for 4 hours in Miami last week and talked through it all, Gilbert tells Yahoo.

I am curious where Wade ends up. I really wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a plan b.

Riley and wade screwed but atleast bosh gets a good situation lol

He get's to go home to a max contract and a contender.

 

Hey...isn't Wade from Chicago? Get it done, FO

I think we knew this all along, but Lakers out per SAS.

 

@SportsCenter: THIS JUST IN: Carmelo Anthony is deciding between Knicks & Bulls. Lakers are out. (via @stephenasmith) pic.twitter.com/k7pzCtGoYQ

 

 

Melo will be a Bull. Bank on it.
