Explain to me why Melo should chose Chicago?

I don't get it, why should he chose Chicago over NY or Houston? People say The Bulls are contenders but how is that?

- Rose is injury prone and not reliable at all, especially for a guy like Melo who wants to compete the rest of the way until he retires. I have a very hard time believing Rose will be back to what he once was. The man didn't even look like his old self last season before the latest injury.

- Noah is good energy guy and good defender but not exactly top tier 2 way player. And if Rose is out, Melo can't count on a defensive guy to be his 2nd option.

To me, Melo in Chicago will just be another version of the Knicks. An injury prone star in Rose (Amare) and a defensive center in Noah(Chandler). He would have to still have to carry the offense on his back just like he did with the Knicks.

Houston is a much better situation, Howard and Harden are worth playing with.

Two reasons...

Noah

Thibs

Thibs is a brilliant man and the team defense being elite is virtually guaranteed.

Another thread?! Houston doesn't need more offense since they're ranked 1 or 2, they need defense which melo isn't really good at. Dwight was already complaining that he doesn't get enough touches, what would happen if Melo joins :facepalm

Also, maybe Melo doesn't want to take the easy way out by going to Houston. That team would be ridiculously stacked and anything less than a title is failure.

4 seed with ZERO scoring options.

Add two really good ones (Rose/Melo) and that is probably the best in the East.

Are you crazy?

Someone is shitting in their pants that the Heat might actually have some competition in the east.

:facepalm All these "Melo to Chicago makes no sense" threads are bringing in a new level of stupidity. And f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking LOL at the Houston/Harden part.

This.

Have you seen Thibs coach this team the last two years? Add one of the best scorers in the league AND a former MVP in Rose and they're instant contenders. Seriously, they have all the elements.

Rose/Jimmy/Melo/Taj/Noah

^that's ECF at least

This shit is even dumber than that "should the NBA play games on grass?" thread.

Dude, it's pauk. Goes without saying.

I was going to add to the ether when I saw the thread title but then came into see every post after the OP was spot on ether.

:applause:

I will anyway!

You realize the West is an absolute shit storm? I mean the Spurs went to 7 games in the 1st round for christ's sake. Spurs are back next year, OKC and Clippers are scary good, Warriors, Blazers, Mavs, Grizz???

Are you out of your mind?

CMON MAN!

Bulls only problem is offense

Melo = Elite offensive player

Chicago + Melo = Perfect match

Melo doesn't have to play defense because Jimmy Butler will guard the other teams best Wing and Noah or Gibson will guard the best big men. As a result Melo can always guard the other team's worst offensive player.

From a Bulls fan to a Rockets fan, I always say Chicago is a better option just based on the Western Conference. The competition is so thick its truly a conference thriving with contending teams.

I love what Morey has done down there. I dont necessarily think Houston is a good fit for Melo, but I never rule out elite talent playing together, they usually find a way.

But you said it. Bulls need Melo, and Bulls supply Melo right back w/ what he needs. A team playing together and top 2-3 defense.
