Max Offer Teams Can Provide Carmelo Anthony

[Sarcastic]

Like Phil and the Knicks are a guaranteed title option as well?

I never said it was. But it's a lot more money than the other options, for only a slightly worse chance at a ring. No spot is guaranteed, except teaming up with LeBron.

Would you give up $40 million if the only difference is getting to the 2nd round instead of 1st? None of those teams are guaranteed past the second round.

And would you really bet your next 4 years on Rose's knees, especially after you seen what happened to Amare?

He'll take the money, retire a Knick.

[GimmeThat]

it's just how the CBA is structured to give the team the advantage to maintain their star player.

it's good for the fans.

Melo and lebron won't go to the west.

[BallsOut]

Melo and lebron won't go to the west.

Lebron is guaranteed not to go to the West. Melo, I think has more courage to do so, but will likely take the Knicks offer since it is way too much money to leave on the table over the Bulls. However, I would not be surprised if he went to the Lakers, who can provide him just 1 mill less per season but a way better team. Still prefer to see him in Chicago though. The fit is perfect.
