Melo: "I don't care about the money"

[cornercommission2k12]

Bulls fans are ridiculous

I could EASILY see the Knicks being better than the Bulls within 2 years at a minimum

Right now you are sounding like a damn idiot

Shut up

 

[JerseyFinest!]

In 2 years when melo is trying to force himself out of ny hoping some contending team will hand over some assets for him cause ny still stinks I will be upping this thread

Have we been watching the same Bulls? You would swear the Bulls were some type of powerhouse the way you dudes be coming....outside of that one 60 win season the Bulls have been avg as hell

 

[cornercommission2k12]

so we can have the max available next year breh . And by thr way maybe he felt Phil's plans were a better chance to win a title . Your team is cheap and the FO has issues with thibs that's not exactly ya recipe for a guaranteed winner . While Phil was out the gate making moves and getting rid of locker room cancers . Your team didn't even come prepared to offer the 4 year max after supposedly planning for all this time I told you bulls fans we were never doing a sign and trade with your supposed assets

The bulls were prepared to dump taj but was not going to do it until they had commitment from melo

Thibs only have a issue with 1 dude from the front office which is gar it don't matter cause the owner Jerry loves thibs and would dump gar before he gets rid of thibs

At this point you dudes fishing for bullshyt to justify melo coming was not about the money and it's getting ridiculous

It was the money

Have we been watching the same Bulls? You would swear the Bulls were some type of powerhouse the way you dudes be coming....outside of that one 60 win season the Bulls have been avg as hell

The bulls been avg cause rose went down and the roster was stripped some to prep to reload this off season

Last year with a b level squad they get top 4 in the east

Year prior they reached the 2nd rd

Year rose went down we had the best record in the league that year too

Coaching, defense, rebounding , heart, would have gotten melo to the finals

Was the bulls a lottery team without rose? Then how the hell the wins would have been dependent on rose?

Y'all reaching like a mutha in this thread. I'm not mad at melo choice , but trying to argue ny was a better choice basketball wise is making y'all look ridiculous

In Chicago, he can't “compete for how ever many years” because Rose and Noah are always hurt and the owner never brings in help. He always put everything on Rose and Noah, despite the failure of that approach. A 34 year old Pau Gasol is not the answer for striking out on 'Melo. Rose won't even play when he's been cleared to play because he's too busy protecting his money. I love him, but it's true.

Dolan never knew what he was doing, but he was never cheap. He paid 'Melo, Amar'e, Tyson etc. The problem was that he also paid katz like D'Antoni. Good thing he paid Phil to run things. NY was 'Melo's best choice to win, by a landslide, and he got $124M. That boy hit the jackpot!

 

[Eternal Tecate]

I don't run the Knicks breh
But the best thing for the Knicks would be to win the lotto; draft Okafor, then sign Horford and a 3&D SG in 2016.

And then win 50 games and get swept in the second round

 

[Eternal Tecate]

Chicago might be the best basketball fit RIGHT NOW for Carmelo to win a title, but that's very dependent on Rose being completely healthy.

The one idea I will agree with is that, while he has allowed some of the dumbest moves in recent basketball history to be made, Dolan is willing to spend every dime on Earth on the roster. We all know Reinsdorf won't make that commitment. If Dolan could figure out how to get out of his own way and put somebody in place who could fix the roster, the Knicks have every resource available to win. If Melo believes Phil is that guy, who's to say that, grand perspective, he didn't make the best basketball move?

The Bulls have never not gotten a player because of Reinsdorf's refusal to pay. That's a myth.

 

[AVXL]

Right now you are sounding like a damn idiot

Shut up

Because I'm not following the same narrative you Bulls fans have been parroting since 2011? Knicks are terrible and will be worse than y'all next yr too, but y'all acting like shyt don't change quickly in the NBA. ALOT of shyt can change in 2 years, stop acting like y'all being better than the Knicks is set in stone forever

 

[Eternal Tecate]

I'm still at Bulls fans thinking CHI was the best destination for Melo.

1. CHI has a cheap & ineffective front office that has struggled to build a championship team since MJ left. Even you Bulls fans acknowledge how bad y'all front office is...you don't think Melo talked to them, talked to people around the league and knew that he'd end up in a situation where his FO won't build around him (just like the Bulls haven't built around Rose)?

Cheap and ineffective? In Rose's healthy seasons they won the most games in the league over a 3 year span, and then they've made the playoffs twice in a row without their best player. How is that an ineffective front office? The only team that's been able to hold a candle to a healthy Bulls team was the Heat. The Bulls were a top 2 team in the league in 2011 and 2012. If you don't consider that a championship team then I don't know what to tell you.

The Bulls have built around Rose. There aren't any moves that were available to the Bulls that could have improved the team that they haven't jumped on. They've added shooting, they've built the best defense in the league around him, given him a top 3 coach. What else do you need?

Are there seriously Knicks and Hawks fans trying to evaluate the Bulls FO as if they know jack shyt about winning basketball?

2. Speaking of Rose, he's hurt & there's no guarantee he'll come back as a top 5-10 player. He was mediocre at BEST in limited games before he got hurt again. If you're gonna commit to a team long term, how you gonna be comfortable goin to a place where the franchise player is another injury away from being done?

Or, that doesn't happen and he's healthy. There's no evidence that his injuries will effect him long term. He looked shytty at the beginning because he'd only played 10 games of live action and hadn't lost he rust yet. That takes a couple months.

3. Phil sold him a better vision and even tho I'm not a fan of Melo or the Knicks the plan is probably to be garbage this yr, shoot for respectability next yr, acquire picks, shed bad contracts and get busy in free agency in a couple seasons.

There aren't any free agents the Knicks can sign that will make them a championship contender in the next 3 seasons. The best option's gonna be Marc Gasol, he's not even a top 10 player.

Melo is probably not going to ever win a title in NY, but I laugh at the thought that him passing on CHI means that he doesn't WANT to win a title. Going to the Bulls never made sense

Blatantly wrong, he already said in the OP that Chicago made the most sense basketball wise.

Are you really this dumb? Are you not aware why they haven't been as good?

We are not acting like anything idiot, the argument is who was the best option basketball wise for melo for winning RIGHT NOW, and that is still without a doubt Chicago. Bulls fans were not the only to share that sentiment as majority of sports journalist agreed to this.

Even in your response you done went away from the damn original point and now you talking about what could possibly happen 2 years from now. Ain't it equally as possible that ny could stay a lottery team not get anybody in free agency worth anything and 2 and a half years from now melo could be trying to force his way out of ny. Anything is possible for anybody what the hell is the point of that argument we talking what it is now. They could discover a cure for aids and cancer, obama could die tomorrow, you could begin to like women again, who knows but that was not the point of this convo.

Why don't you just fall back and enjoy atl annual 1st -2nd rd exit and shut the hell up

But what are you basing the Bulls are the better option on? We don't even know how the Knicks roster going to look going into training camp let alone 2 yrs from now

 

[JerseyFinest!]

Are you really this dumb? Are you not aware why they haven't been as good?

And that exact reason is one of the reasons the Knicks were the better choice! We dont know what type of Drose is returning, He's played less games then Amare the last 2yrs. So if you can bank on him being 100% why cant we do the same for Amare?

If you don't consider that a championship team then I don't know what to tell you.

Bulls fans have complained for YEARS that the Bulls didn't do enough to add another wing scorer to the mix. The Bulls answer to that? Rip Hamilton. Bellini. Nate Robinson. Even this offseason you're same Bulls fans were mad you didn't make a play after Arron Affalo. So cut the bullshyt breh...a championship team ain't losing to the 8 seed Sixers, even without Rose.

You see the Bulls through Rose colored glasses breh if you believe even half the shyt you just typed. Rose is one more knee injury away from being done and with his style of play he puts too much stress on his lower body, if I was Melo that would be a concern. You don't have successive knee injuries in back to back years and don't expect it to linger.

And what does me having to be a Hawks fan do with this? You Bulls fans act like the Knicks might not be a more attractive team in a couple seasons...ANYTHING can happen & Phil is building the roster he wants. I trust him over Garpax EASILY

More of the same idiot double talk you & other Bulls fans have been shouting for years. Melo is supposed to give the Bulls FO all the confidence in the world to build a contender yet y'all shyt on the same Bulls FO day in & day out. Does that remotely make any sense? I've already outlined why in the long term NY could conceivably be a better option, him going to a CHI team now that's window is almost closed for additional 1st & 2nd round exits does nothing for him career wise and that's what the Bulls are right now. The current Bulls roster is not constructed to compete for a title. It's not.

BTW, Save the personal attacks for somebody else breh, I'm in here talking basketball and you gettin emotional & shyt, calm the fukk down
