[QUOTE=CHi1PriDe]Honestly, it wouldn't really bother me if Melo doesn't come. I wouldn't mind bringing lance for like 10mil or cheaper.
Rose/ vet min
Lance/smell
Butler/McBuckets
Taj/Mirotic
Noah/Bairstow/Smith
That's a pretty athletic group with a lot more scoring options than last year and plus we don't have to sacrifice our picks :rockon:[/QUOTE]
If you don't mind a 2nd round exit, ya that's legit. But who is your insurance in case Rose gets injured again/ can't play all the games, surely you don't want a vet min guy there. Also there is no way that Jerry is gonna amnesty Boozer to get freakin Lance Stephenson.

We still have DJ/Kirk and fredette lol. Our go to scorer last year in the playoffs was DJ and Taj will only get better playing more consistent minutes. From what I've heard, boozers gone no matter what :applause:
Lance is led the league in triple doubles last year and non sense attitude won't fly with thibs :no:
East

Seriously? 'Melo on the Bulls is the absolute best fit for him and the Bulls.
C: Noah
PF: Taj
SF: 'Melo
SG: Butler
PG: Rose
There's not one weakness in that lineup.
I like the Mavericks as a better fit for Melo. Dallas would be the favorite for the best offense in the league with him, and Carlisle could probably manage a passable defense with Tyson Chandler back. I think Melo would instantly boost the Bulls to a top 15 offense but I'm kind of worried about the complete lack of shooters to push it to the top 5 or 10. With Dunleavy and Augustin probably leaving, Doug McDermott would probably be the Bulls best shooter besides Melo.

He would be a great fit but I doubt he joins us tbh. He probably sees Bulls, and Rockets as a better chance to compete and they also have a longer window.
Even though Dallas would be a great situation, he probably sees us as leverage if anything.
Harden is overrated and Dwight is a clown.
NY.....they need to rebuild.
Lakers...they would need more pieces and no clue how good Kobe will be.
Mavs.....might be an interesting fit. Dirk Monta and Melo.
So yup...best move is Chitown. Exactly the type of player that team needs.
They already are a good defensive team. Just need scoring...Melo and a healthy D Rose would dominate.
Houston and Dallas are probably better teams but... eastern conference that's why.

[B]what about OKC ?[/B]
Knicks need to have tax reset by being under line if we lose Melo. so no s&t that takes huge salary like boozer, etc works for the knicks. If the only way Chicago can pay Melo a salary that makes him leave is a s and t, what's is the knicks motivation to do that?
Chicago doesn't want to pay Melo max and wants NY to help relieve them of other salary. That's not the best plan.
[QUOTE=-Lebron23-]You're so butthurt you can't even make sense.
It won't matter to you where Melo goes because as soon as he leaves the Knicks are rebuilding and should be looking to get as many assets as possible.
Of course fans like you will be so butthurt that would prefer to renounce those assets just to see Melo fail. Unfortunately for you that's not how decision making at senior management levels work. If Cleveland agreed to S&T Lebron back in 2010, I bet you NY would agree to do the same for Melo now.[/QUOTE]
You're the moron that felt people dont know he's an UFA.
If he chooses to leave i firmly believe a S&T is possible West team. I've said the only 2 teams he would go to is LA & Chi. If he decides to go to Chi you think NY will help that, I dont. You have lottery picks in the back pocket? If Zen decides to do the S&T its going to hurt Chi go for everything players and picks. Its going to hurt Chi either way you have a cheap owner.
Had Cleveland wanted to do a S&T for LBJ to NY sure we would have taken it.

What the fvck does that have to do with anything? You must be trolling, can't be that stupid.
And you think Phil would rather see Melo walk than agree to trade him to get picks or young players in return? Right... Thankfully the only decision you will be making in your professional life will be whether to serve the fries first or wait for the burger

Maybe I'm kinda biased as a Dallas fan...but unlike with the Dwight situation last year where Dallas simply wasn't the best scenario, I just don't see any better team for Melo right now than the Mavs.
Chicago sounds good, but Rose is kind of a gamble. Hopefully he'll get back to his old self, but I wouldn't bet money on it. And Houston would be an awesome 2k14 team, but in real life? Does Melo think he can win a ring with McHale, Harden and Howard? It's the kind of team I could see coasting through the regular season, only to get embarrassed by superior coaching in the playoffs.
I totally get why DWill, Howard and Paul didn't want to go to Dallas. But this year it's different. Melo would have an all star sidekick PF who doesn't give a shit about ego and the mature version of Monta Ellis (I've watched pretty much every Mavs game this year, he's just a different player). Also a good rim protector ( even if Chandler is worse than 2011, he's still extremely valuable in today's league), and much more importantly than many fans might think...a championship coach. People just don't get how good Carlisle actually is.
Just don't see any other disadvantage than a bit less money. Otherwise Dallas just looks like the best scenario for Melo to contend for championships.
