If Melo only wants to win: Bulls or Wizards?

[Aidz]

Bulls might be better on paper but it depends A LOT on Rose being fit.
Even if he is fit, there's no guarantee he'll be the same player.

Wizards have
Wall - gets better every year. Future superstar.
Beal - elite shooting guard/doesn't demand ball
Ariza - solid all-round player. He could be 6th man or play the 3 with Melo at 4.
Nene/Gortat - very good front court.

Rose
Butler
Melo
Gibson
Noah

Wizards = Nuggets

Melo should join the Bulls.

Heat.

[Hey Yo]

If the Bulls amnesty Carlos Boozer, the starting point for the cap room they could offer Anthony, according to league salary sheets, is $13.8 million. To even get there, they would have to renounce free agent Kirk Hinrich (and lose his Bird rights) and trade their first-round pick and the pick they are getting from Charlotte (which together would amount to another $2.7 million on Chicago's books).

Make a long story short, Melo would be leaving 45 million on the table over the five years if he left New York. The most Chicago could give him once they gutted their roster is 4 years close to 86 million.

Melo said money wouldn't be a problem. He wants a ring.

He won't get it soon in Chicago. The players I mentioned above wouldn't be the only ones they would have to get rid of for cap purposes.

So Melo become a 6th man if he goes to Washington?

[Akrazotile]

Melo makes the Wizards worse.

[davehos]

Spurs.

:oldlol:

[Kiddlovesnets]

I actually think the Wizards are better fit, but again knowing Melo hes not going to a small market team.

[RidonKs]

washington would be an ideal fit imo

melo needs a quality backcourt to reduce his ball handling and playmaking responsibilities. in new york he's expected to do too much and he's clearly got a trust issue thanks to the knicks shitty roster. wall and beal have enough outside shooting, passing ability, and chemistry to plug melo in and work seemlessly

plus the wiz bigs are great outside shooters giving him space to operate in the paint. not sure what gortat's status will be next year tho

i like the fit way more than the bulls, the lakers, the rockets, just about any team that's been rumoured to have interest



but is there any chance this happens? or is this just hypothetical and the wiz are incapable of offering him a contract he might accept? and yea the other issue is would melo accept... who knows whats actually going on in his head lol

Did you even read the post? Or are you just retarded?

Your post was a bit confusing on that regard though. Anyway Ariza is a FA and is most likely gone so he shouldn't even be on your depth chart.

:roll:
Do you have any dumba$$es left for the bench?

[Genaro]

Does Wizards have the money to keep their FAs (Ariza and Gortat) and still sign Melo?
And if you say Bulls is risky cause of Rose's health, what about Nene's? He's always hurt.

[aboss4real24]

Bulls are gonna get pau gasoul as there big signing :lol

Stop using the Bucks in your trade scenarios.

[smoovegittar]

Melo's going to Houston with LeBron.

[BlkMambaGOAT]

He tells the press that he's still thinking about it then on the day he has to choose he surprises the NBA world by saying that he's taking his talents to south beach.

He keeps trying to turn NY into the Washington Generals. I really can't fathom his lineup at all...
