Bosh staying in Miami!

New report is that Melo is looking at a 2 year deal with the Bulls and then sign a max extension next summer, only missing out on a much lower number.

Bulls finalizing deal with Gasol. Mello likely to return to NY... Per Woj.

Just read that both may be in play to join the Bulls and the Gasol move may be being done for Anthony

K.C. Johnson
@KCJHoop


As @EricPincus said, Bulls can get to $9M for Gasol S&T w/ Dunleavy and non-guaranteeds. Leaves Boozer in play for S&T or amnesty/cap space

PG Rose
SG Bulter
SF Anthony
PF Gasol
C Noah

Hell of a starting 5 right there

It would be nice if the East became more than a one team show.

too bad their would-be forwards are below average defenders.

They have Thibs.

That's really interesting. Is the CBA up in 2 or 3 years? Plus the new TV contract in a year or 2 will bump cap quite a bit (rumor I've read).

Whether Gasol lands in Chicago or not, Thibs will still likely go with Noah and Gibson late in games. They are his defensive closers.

Just a matter of hours until Carmelo Anthony informs the Knicks of his return on a five-year deal, as @FisolaNYDN reported this week.

Well that was fun

This is getting old now.

‏@JaredZwerling Sources close to Melo say (once again) torn on NY & CHI. Vision of a NY legacy on his mind but CHI seen as win now. Hearing decision by Mon.

Does any of these reporters and ball players know the meaning of the word legacy? Don't they know your team has to be successful?

That was my thought too.

You can't eat legacy. 60% of all NBA players go broke within 5 years of retirement. The money won't be there forever and in the end it's far more important than some imaginary thing called legacy. Besides, it's their life, they have to live it.

Wilt Chamberlain played for 3 different franchises at a time when players had no control over where they played. Despite being the most dominant player ever he only finished with two titles, both of them later in his career. I'm pretty sure he had all the legacy he could handle.

If this "legacy" thing is mostly about Carmelo and Bosh, keep in mind the choice is between getting maximum salary versus having a chance to win it all. Winning it all is huge but we're just talking about the chance to win it all. It's hard to give up the sure thing of money for the not-so-sure thing of winning it all.

There seems to be a lot more money these days floating around for star players than back in the day.

However, show me the money.

Me too. I feel sorry for the old time players though. Just think, if Wilt had made decent money he might not have had to sleep alone on all those long and lonely road trips.

There are other ways to get paid.

LOL. I don't think he was sleeping.

Why do they call is sleeping together? Oh, because most of the time, it's in bed.

And why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Never mind.

 

[leclerc]

Melo gets the most money in NY. Just don't bring any notion of legacy into it. What have the Knicks done while they've had him? Not much, in a record weak eastern conference. The last thing we remember of the Knicks is probably Pat Ewing and Starks shooting bricks. Melo who?

 

[sunsfan88]

I'm happy for Bosh. Classy guy who is a great teammate.

 

[sunsfan88]

Well that was fun

Oh well.

You didn't think 'Melo was gonna pass up on this offer, did you?
