Carmelo Anthony Will Consider Bulls, Rockets, and Mavs

[Smook A.]

Per Marc Stein:


The Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are all teams Anthony would consider starting July 1, sources say, if the 30-year-old decides to become a free agent this summer.

[outbreak]

Chicago or Dallas would be good landing spots, they both have coaches who might be able to get melo to try on defence.

[IncarceratedBob]

Haha not even Melo wants to play with Kobe

[Inferno]

Warriors :cry:

[Black and White]

Melo + Chi-town is the perfect fit.

[To4]

Sigh Carmelo.. If you really want to win. go to the bulls..

[Threethrows]

I think Portland would be a nice fit for him :confusedshrug:

[atljonesbro]

It's a mistake for him not to go to the Hawks. They're his best opportunity to win.

[MrC1991]

Since when?

[Rocketswin2013]

He'd be getting doubled teamed and raped by the Heat yearly. He's going to Chicago though.

lmao

Melo has played much improved defense this year, you would know that if you watched a game.

[atljonesbro]

Since when?
Since they have the best combination of talent, coaching, having a system that fits his game, and being in the East.

[russwest0]

My advice to Melo: Stay in the Eastern Conference.

[Cone]

he should join dallas

monta/melo/dirk = :bowdown:

[kamil]

Bulls aren't going anywhere even with Melo and a hobbled D Rose. There's just not enough firepower on the team to take out the Heat.

[Brokenbeat]

Haha not even Melo wants to play with Kobe

Lakers aren't interested, and they'd be fools to throw the max at him anyway. Got jackshit to do with Kobe. :confusedshrug:

[VIntageNOvel]

i like him, but dont want him near LA
would be 2013 all over again

[crisoner]

Is like to see Melo in Chicago.....that be sick.

[Warfan]

If Melo doesn't come to Golden State, I hope he goes to Chicago so atleast there's a 2nd contender or very good team out East. We don't need another very good team out West if he goes to Dallas :lol

[atljonesbro]

Him on the Bulls is literally no different than him on the Knicks. Going to the Hawks however, they have much more offensive fire power and a system that meshes with his game.

[thefatmiral]

he should stay in NY. phil is going to be making things worth staying.

[CHi1PriDe]

Dude give it up, you really think hell want to play in a top 3 (Chicago being 1) in attendance arena to a bottom 3?! Bulls play with a lot of heart compared to the weak minded current knicks team. There's a reason why the Bulls finished 4 in the east compared to the knicks who didn't even make playoffs.

But I do give you props for being one of the few hawks fans and not jumping the bandwagon like most on here :cheers:

Can't wait for Melo to turn heel and join the Heat. :lol

[97 bulls]

This would be so nice

[ProfessorMurder]

Notice how he didn't say Knicks?

[hangintheair]

Since they have the best combination of talent, coaching, having a system that fits his game, and being in the East.

You just summarize the bulls

[Inferno]

**** it. If not the Warriors then the Bulls. Melo comes to the West and the playoffs get that much harder

[pastis]

i hope he joins the mavs...but he wont. either he stays with the knicks or is joining the bulls.

for the rockets.... harden,howard, melo...would that work? will harden accept to reduce his shooting and ingame role?

I don't think it would work, tbh.

Harden and Melo both love having the ball in their hands. If one of them doesn't get their touches, who knows what will happen in the locker room :confusedshrug:

[coin24]

Rockets? Lol

Melo is a perfect fit for the Bulls but IMO depending what's up with rose and if the cheap fkn owners would pay for a bench.
Mavs would be awesome..

And as if any decent FA would sign with the hawks. I'm sick of reading all these hawks scenarios. ITS NOT HAPPENING EVER

He fits better in Dallas for that very reason, although they have Dirk and Monta.

Honestly he should go to the Bulls where Thibs can construct a defensive minded team around him while forcing him to pull his weight on D.

[Combat Wombat]

If a championship is truly the most important thing to him then he needs to go to Chicago.

Big 3 of Rose, Melo and Noah.

I really hope Rose gets back to his old form but... that's a big IF. That "big 3" could end up looking more like a big 1.5.

How are the bulls built for championship??

Thibs runs his guys into te ground during reg season, owners are too cheap to pay for a bench and they will meet the heat in the playoffs..

Doesn't scream success. Plus rose is a massive question mark.


Id go with Dallas. Dirk monta Vince plus Cuban doesn't mind spending

[MiseryCityTexas]

You left out Houston because you're a hating ass ******.

[All Net]

Rockets have space?

[UK2K]

Rockets need a 4 who plays defense.

In the WC alone you have:

Davis
lee
Randolph
Dirk
Duncan
ibaka
favors
griffin
Aldridge

And the rockets have NOBODY that can defend them. A defensive 4 is needed most before we go out and get more offense.

[UK2K]

I don't think it would work, tbh.

Harden and Melo both love having the ball in their hands. If one of them doesn't get their touches, who knows what will happen in the locker room :confusedshrug:
Harden shoots 16 shots per game
Melo shoots 16 shots per game
Dwight shoots 14 shots per game

Thats about what they did last season anyway.

[SCdac]

C: Gortat or Asik
PF: Dirk
SF: Melo
SG: Monta
PG: Calderon

would be pretty intriguing (idk how they could afford it), especially if Melo and Dirk can get comfortable with one another (Dirk did play with Finley and Josh Howard, among others). I hope Melo picks the Mavs. Having said that, they'd be seriously lacking the basketball acumen that the seasoned J Kidd, Marion, Chandler, and Terry brought to the table in 11. Hell maybe they could even get Chandler back. Either way it'll all come down to defense. Not sure if Melo helps in that area

Melo is an above average post defender, obviously if he plays someone over 6'11 he's in trouble, but he is a great defender in the post.

[SCdac]

Word. I'm sure Melo's defense is underrated in some parts, and you know Carlisle would use him at the 4 every now and then. I guess just not feeling the hypothetical defensive impact of a 36 year old Dirk, current Melo and Monta Ellis. But it's still worth trying for, dont get me wrong. Offensively they could be a wrecking crew if they played their cards right and Dirk is healthy. And the complexion of the league is constantly changing (Duncan, KG almost out, etc). Harden and Melo on the other hand, idk, seems like they'd clash down the line.

[Kiddlovesnets]

he should join dallas

monta/melo/dirk = :bowdown:

Monta is not an all-star caliber player, Dirk is washed up, they need another all-star playing next to Melo, maybe Rondo?

[Uncle Drew]

Fcuk off, you know nothing about bball.

What did I say wrong? Ellis is never a star player, never was and never will be. Dirk is like 37 next year?
:facepalm

lol you still cant explain, just plainly hating, its time to quit this and get yourself a life, its far better than your current work at McDonald's if you give a harder try.

:oldlol:

Go watch a game before you comment, idiot. I have nothing to explain. Saying Dirk is done shows you're either a retard, or you know nothing about basketball. Or in your case, both.

This forum would be that much better if Kiddlovescock's mom just swallowed instead.

Monta is absolutely all-star caliber. He was impressive on both ends this season and showed himself to be a very willing facilitator.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

wouldnt be that sick if they have to gut the roster to sign him.

[Kiddlovesnets]

This forum would be that much better if Kiddlovescock's mom just swallowed instead.

37-45.
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[INDI]

He should go to Brooklyn with a trade for Brook Lopez.

KG
Pierce
Melo
Johnson
Dwill

[atljonesbro]

Typical spoiled lakers fan think only the big market teams are entitled to all the players.

[backb0ard]

We have two players who are former all-stars:

Player A:
21 ppg 6 rpg 2.7 apg on almost 50 40 90 shooting

Player B:
14 ppg 3 rpg 6 apg

Who's the one who is washed up?

[jzek]

Haha not even Melo wants to play with Kobe

No one wants to play with a rapist.

[dunksby]

Chicago becoming competitive is good for the league.

[Rameek]

I cant see him playing for any team and not get his money. If teams have to gut their teams to acquire him doubt thats attractive.

If you think he is going to a team to get paid less than the other pseudo star players you're delusional.
