Melo made the right choice..

If the Knicks could have had Jimmy & Niko for Melo, then it sounds like the Knicks DIDNT make the right choice

We wouldn't have a chance to have a top 5 pick.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

I would have done it Jimmy/Mirotic and a 1st

Melo and Gasol would have won 60 games (if healthy)

 

[daboywonder2002]

If Melo had decided to go the Bulls

No Jimmy Butler or Mirotic

We still unsure what D-Rose we're gonna see, But its looking like he's officially no longer a SS and basically un-tradeable

Joakim has officially fallen off, as much as i rock with him it was one play last night where he caught a outlet pass and instead of a 6'11 dude going for the dunk..he straight went for the lay-up and Bron swatted it with ease.

One of the selling points ppl were selling with the Bulls was "Thibs gonna have Melo playing hard on D" But we all been knew it was a matter of time before thibs and the Bulls went their separate ways

No need to even mention the financial aspect
Plus i think the Pau move wouldn't have even been possible with Melo on the roster ( I could be wrong)

Long-term the Knicks (even the lakers) were way better choices.

long term? dude is 30 years old.

I have a difference in opinion..im taking Melo

Long term is anything beyond one season..Yeah for this current season the Bulls would have been better (not no contenders tho) but beyond that Knicks > Bulls

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Word!

So who beside melo qould they get

Jimmy just had a 6 game series where he put up 21, and held Bron to sub 40% shooting and is just entering his prime

Not sure why you would prefer a 31 year old Melo, especially if Niko is included

Melo top 8 imo...and if the Knicks are serious about winning a ship within the next 3 yrs...im going with Melo to build around. The Knicks even have a chance to sign Jimmy this off-season. It's no guarantee the Bulls match a max offer

 

[Brozay]

It's no guarantee the Bulls match a max offer

yes it is though

 

[red222]

@red222 what was the proposed deal for Melo to the Bulls last summer?

expirings and picks for Melo and a Boozer for Pau swap. Then the proposed short term deal for Melo (2 year).

 

[JerseyFinest!]

yes it is though

We will see
I like jimmy game and he's still improving but im not convinced he's a max player
Knicks are just in the position where they would have to over-pay to get a certain player

Bulls matching would be doing the Knicks a favor imo

A max this season, wont look like shyt in the the years to come as the cap goes up

This is also Jimmy's first deal, hes not getting a Melo like mega max

True...his max is about 80 mil right?
