Melo HAS to go to the Bulls

[Inferno]

I'm sick of watching the Pacers get their shit pushed in by the Heat; for the sake of entertainment we need Melo to go to Chicago and challenge Miami with a core of Melo/Rose/Noah. Hell, take Rose out and that team is still a legitimate threat.

[poido123]

He would be good for us, but I loathe the size of that contract and what we have to do to fit him in.

[Warfan]

:applause: They'd make the finals

[oh the horror]

I dunno but the east needs to do something. I don't even tune into any of those atrocious games in that conference anymore.

I LOL'd when a guy at work picked Indiana to go the the finals for a playoff bracket we do for cash.

[atljonesbro]

The Hawks are easily a better fit.

[97 bulls]

But it may not be that bad. Jackson hurt his negotiating ability when he said he wasnt a max contract player.

I honestly dont think its gonna take a max contract to land Anthony.

[97 bulls]

Thats true. The Hawks would probably give him a better chance to win.

[BuffaloBill]

I agree. The East is far too weak. Something needs to happen.

[Black and White]

Agreed, Melo has to go the Bulls, and if not, he has to stay in the East, the East is way too watered down.

[Duggrr]

Bulls, Wiz or Hawks. East just needs a legit threat for the title outside of the Heat. The West had 3 :facepalm

take rose out and they are still a threat? what makes the bulls without rose so much better than the knicks.

no need for melo. bulls are still woopin miamis ass when rose comes back healthy.

[LoneyROY7]

Melo to the Bulls would be great for the NBA.

I would rather have dj starting if Melo goes to bulls, need to have legitimate spacing on the team. And I don't think Rose will ever be anything close to what he was in 2011.

[flipogb]

anybody that can go anywhere should go East or stay there, that or go to the Lakers

I hope you're right. :(

That is a big contract to swallow if shit goes wrong.

[Johnny Jones]

Melo to the Hawks would be legit. Teague/Korver/Melo/Millsap/Horford :eek: dat offense

Would Hawks fans actually show up to games if Melo came to ATL?

Hawks fans show up to games. You even watch the playoffs? Stop parroting off things you hear.

I watched a lot of hawks games, weakest crowd in the nba. Everytime I saw the Knicks play them there was as many Knick fans as Hawk fans.

[SwishSquared]

Any way Dolan would accept a Rose + future first for Melo S&T lol? Bulls amnesty Boozer, sign Lowry, use MLE on Mirotic, and draft Payne + Hairston.

Lowry-Butler-Melo-Gibson-Noah
Kirk-Hairston-MDJ-Mirotic-Payne
Rest of bench: Jimmer, Snell, G. Smith, 2014 2nd rd pick

I'm afraid Rose will simply be a "star" level player once he comes back (and thus overpaid) and a Rose/Melo/Noah core would be nasty, but he could be damaged goods, too. They'd def be Miami's toughest EC test next year though if they're all healthy.

I think ATL would be too weak defensively with Melo at SF, wouldn't they? I mean nobody on their starting 5 would be a great defender, though their offense would be SICK. I like Melo on the Wizards, but I don't think there's anyway they can sign him and retain Gortat, who's essential considering how many injuries Nene has. Bulls likely best landing spot for him to contend for title next season. Just wonder what they'd have to give up in order to add him.

Probably. Rose is damaged good now at this point. No one knows what left in his knees. But Dolan loves big name players, and Rose still has that going for him.

Who the hell cares. Melo is wasting his prime playing for a shitty franchise.
Heck, the Knicks might make the playoffs if they let their fans play instead of their players.

a shitty franchise is a franchise that pushes the goat player out the door n treat him like sh it

Kg even sed he would never play 4 the bulls after wat they did to mj so imagine wat they would do to him


And chicago is a shi tty city, its murder rate is about 10x the hs graduation rate

[nathanjizzle]

cant wait to bump this thread next season. rose is damaged goods:lol

[Tarik One]

Knowing how the Bulls management operates, they won't be that aggressive in their pursuit of him.

:no: :no: That is "collusion" and according to ISH is not allowed.

I am not sure exactly what u meant in your statement.

Are u referring to reinsdorf not letting MJ having a stake of the franchise as a part owner? (Rumor)

Or not fulfilling MJ's wish by keeping Phil Jackson after winning in 1998? (And hence eliminating all hopes for 4 peat and 7 rings overall)

Ok, you asked for it.


You're about to lose your franchise player who has gone on record saying that he would like to play for the Bulls?

I don't understand what makes you so salty towards the Bulls, did we steal your soul back in the Ewing/Starks era?

[Real14]

you wish niguh:lol

[9512]

You can't just add a big name/great talent with other talent of another and expect immediate success.

The Celtics in 2007-2008 was an exception.

Even the heat big 3 took a year win.

The rockets with Dwight and harden will ultimately fail.

Carmelo is a black hole on offense and thrives on isoball. He is unadaptable and his reputation as an offensive player forces all his teammates to defer and become catch and shoot 3/long 2 shooters.

[Inferno]

bump. Another blowout will eliminate Indy :facepalm

[Just2McFly]

The Hawks are easily a better fit.
+100000000

[Milbuck]

Melo on the Bulls would be sick, but the Hawks are a really underrated option for him..

Teague/Mack/Schroeder
Korver/Lou
Melo/Carroll
Millsap/Brand
Horford/Antic

That lineup would be filthy. And they have a great young coach in Budenholzer.

Honestly, anything that would make the East more competitive. Hopefully he doesn't stay in NY.
