Umm, Melo's official site changed colors from Blue and Orange to Red and Black.
Hope we can still get Melo.

Why would Melo take NYC over Dallas if winning is the goal?

Dallas? It's two options. Win=Bulls Money=Knicks

Dallas couldn't even keep Vince.

Writing is on the wall.

 

[WoodWERD]

As long as Pau isn't going to OKC I'm fine with Spurs missing out, as crazy as that would've been.

does anyone believe wade will go to the bulls? bosh resigned and wade is the heat organization

No.

Looks like the Bulls are a discussing Dunleavy + other non guaranteed guys(Brewer, Amundson, etc.) S+T with the Lakers for Pau.

Leaves a Boozer S+T in the works.

 

[mrjohill]

Could Carmelo be waiting for pau to sign with the bulls first?

Lakers are willing to do a Sign and Trade as long as Pau goes East.

Seems like it. I hope he is.

NBA season is going to be so awesome.

How would the Bulls be a better team? Is it because Dallas is in the West?

Yes. Plus the Bulls desperately need a scorer and you guys already have Dirk and Ellis.

Jazz matches Hornets' offer to restricted free agent Gordon Hayward: http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_t...harlotte-hornets-offer-to-gordon-hayward.html

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 20m
Yahoo Sources: Utah notified Charlotte it has matched four-year, $63M offer sheet on Gordon Hayward. http://yhoo.it/1sLtM8R

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 30s
We've reported since October that four-year, $52M offer likely would have sealed extension w/Hayward. Ended up costing more than $10M extra

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 2m
Why was I so surprised Jazz didn't do October extension w/Hayward? Cause odds were, with $$$ available in this market, he'd land max deal

Nah

LMAO Jazz deserve this fuckery because their own stupidity.

Settle down CreepingFear. They're gonna sign Gasol to entice Melo. It's a S&T and they're gonna send Taj to NY for Melo. Since NY said they don't want Boozer one bit but Lakers will happy take him

BULLIEVE, bro.

I am believing, which is setting myself up for disappointment when Bulls end up with just Pau and not Melo.

Lakers arent' trading for Boozer after the Lin trade.

I've heard Dunleavy mentioned in the trade for Gasol. That's from KCJohnson, Bulls beat reporter. We still don't have the final details yet. Hopefully, soon.

Keep your trash on your own team. If Melo wants Chicago so badly, he can go there for less money, NY doesn't have to facilitate a damn thing.

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

Woj has spoken.

Well, that's that.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So Melo picks money. Can't blame him oh well.

 

[MarauderShields]

Well, that's that.

He will never even sniff a title

And why would the Bulls make Pau their plan B? Thats Boozer all over again. Noah should demand a trade.

Why would Noah demand a trade. We are arguably the #1 seed in the East this year.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bulls should have just given a max deal to Lance.

I want Lance over Gasol, but Pax thinks Gasol is still 2007 Gasol. Fire Paxson. I said it.

Goal is to win a title not be #1 seed.

So who would we trade him to that would be guaranteed to win a title?

I said Noah should want out not that they should get rid of him

Watch Warrior games. They are an interesting squad within the state.

 

[CreepingFear]

Even if you believe that Pau is an upgrade over Boozer, it's a very slight one. Even with a healthy Rose, the Bulls still need a 2 or 3 that can create a shot for themselves. Bulls might win 60 fucking games next year, but once again they'll get no where in the playoffs. So frustrating.

 

[Fjordson]

Man Melo would have been a perfect addition for Chicago. Pau is a nice pick up, but it's not a big leap over their current roster.

 

[CreepingFear]

Might as well bring back Luol Deng now, as that's the kind of offseason it's been again.

 

[fertygo]

OKC signing Anthony Morrow, I like this signing for them.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Bulls front office continues to be a joke. Trying to get Paul Gasol 7 years too late and whiffing again in FA. You cant blame Melo for not turning down 50 million, but he better not complain about loosing.

 

[CreepingFear]

I guess the Bulls might try to get Arizia, Lance if Arizia is picked up by someone like the Rockets.

I'm officially on the fire GarPax bandwagon.

 

[darkside31337]

Pau aint the same guy he used to be but hes a huge upgrade over Boozer

 

[LyleLanley]

So it seems like, outside of LeBron going back to the Cavs, that this is a pretty boring off-season.

At least it was full of early lols with Ben Gordon's contract on the Magic.

I'm guessing it's more red white and blue as the colors for USA basketball.

Yeah because that is his biggest accomplishment winning the gold medal at the Olympics. Wasting the next 5 years of his basketball career with the Knicks. Doubt he wins a ring with the Knicks.

The Bulls are two years away from being two years away from signing hometown hero Jabari Parker.

I don't want Melo on the Bulls, but I'm weirdly hoping Woj is wrong and there's a S&T in the process. Otherwise, why trade Dunleavy to the Lakers and not Boozer's contract?

 

[CB3]

People thinking Pau is only a slight upgrade over boozer are grossly misinformed. Even at his declined state, he is far and away better. And Thibs will probably get him to play D like he used to. Its a good get.

Only sign and trade would be the Bulls going after another Dinosaur like Paul Pierce.

 

[LyleLanley]

Melo's signing for 5 years $120M so it looks like he took a very slight discount.

I'm sure that "huge" discount will help the Knicks get Westbrook.
