Explain to me why Melo should chose Chicago?

[QUOTE=Droid101]4 seed with ZERO scoring options.

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

Exactly.

[QUOTE]Rose/Jimmy/Melo/Taj/Noah

^that's ECF at least[/QUOTE]

Yup--and probably better than the Heat...

[QUOTE]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???[/QUOTE]

There also are potential chemistry issues in Houston, especially with Harden. The Bulls desperately need Carmelo's skill set. Even when Rose played the Bulls often would have stretches where they could not buy a field goal.

So many people are mistaking the bulls need for Carmelo w Carmelo needing the bulls. The bulls roster and ownership are a terrible fit for carmelo.

This Bulls roster is better for Carmelo than the Knicks roster no matter what way you look at it.

Because he will sell a shit load of Jordan shoes in Chicago.

[B]that roster wont look good if they have to dump more salaries get to max money. Having an owner that is allergic to luxury tax.[/B]

[B]If you think a S & T is happening then prepare to lose Butler Taj McBuckets :lol .[/B]

Agree. Phil ain't taking anything back. I want Melo to stay in NY but if he leaves NY will still go on.

Kinda ironic that the team gutted itself to get him and how this whole deal with Chicago is unfolding.

I believe all they have to dunp is Boozer and Dunleavy. And McDermott can take Dunleavys spot.


I just don't see a downside. Even without Rose thus team would be formidable.

The Bulls do NOT plan on S&T Taj away in a deal. That's why he was at the meeting/dinner with Melo.

Bulls can amnesty Boozer, and make Dunleavy disappear with a draft pick. *poof* I mean what if the Bulls say, hey NY here's 2 more 2nd rounders and Mike Dunleavy? Could happen. More likely they dump him to a team with cap space and attach pick(s).

[B]Still will be short the 20 mill and not reach his max number. The only team capable of paying Melo max money is Dallas and NY.[/B]

4th seed. In a weak-as-shit conference.

I guess it's a good thing that Melo himself has stated repeatedly that he is willing to take less money to be on a winning team, right? And that just yesterday he said that if he came to Chicago he wanted Taj on the team and would take less money to do it.

:biggums:

Chicago's defense will cover his defensive deficiencies well so he can chill on defense while going all out on offense. Chicago is a good fit for him.

[B]Less money what magic number is he supposed to play for 16 mill? wtf is wrong with fans these days. if you believe this you must play on the short bus.

If you asked Wade, Bosh, LBJ to play for that kind of money to stay together is one thing(4 finals 2 rings together). To have Duncan 1 team for 20 years play for that money 5 titles 3000 years old, even Dirk 1 Championship 1 team for 20 years 3000 years old...

You are telling me a dude in his prime with no allegiance to a city, uproot his family and come play for 16 or 17 mill for these teams is a pipe dream. And it guarantees nothing... [/B]
