Where are some of you guys getting your "info" from??
Seriously, if LeBron can do what he did to CLE on national TV and CLE still do a S&T with no great picks than anyone can be had. If the Knicks know that Melo is leaving then they'll do the smart thing.
Elite defense + Rose.
[QUOTE=Nash]I don't get it, why should he chose Chicago over NY or Houston? People say The Bulls are contenders but how is that?

Bigger risk perhaps because of Rose injury, but what if Rose does come back? Then you have a top tier defensive and rebounding team along with two big time players. Maybe Melo takes pressure off Rose and that keeps him healthy.
Bulls have Pacers in their division, but Houston has Spurs, Mavericks and Grizzlies. He should stay out East for the best chance of making his first NBA finals.
Why should he choose NY over Chicago?
Melo is looking at chi town and saying, "man I gotta play defense?" He ain't going there. Wouldn't be surprised if he stays in nyc just for his family. I'm sure they all have a close circle of friends there. At the end of the day, it isn't about rings as us fans think it is. It's about making your family happy.
