Melo opts out

[Mr. Jack Napier]

You dont seem to realize that those two things are in conflict with each other? What kind of "heavy hitters" is he gonna be able to convince to take less money to come to New York while he's taking up all the cap?

Who said that he's going to sign a max deal? Ya'll need to stop with the illogical hate.

Woj radio interview from earlier

-Melo intentions on taking a paycut in NY was for the sole purpose of trying to form a big 3 in NY
-Chi is the frontrunner
-Hou looming. Apparently they have deals in place to move Asik/Lin but they'll only move them for Bron or Melo

That's not a panic or desperation move though.! That's just keeping ur superstar. It's not even a compromise to me, it's a smart move. I don't think anybody should think he's a Buffon if he decides to keep melo long term.....

Givign melo the full max is not a smart move on a title team he has to be your 2nd or third best player if you waste all that money on him it doesnt leave you with much flexbility to improve the roster aorudn him

This dude a fan of a team that gave Joe Johnson two max contracts ponder that for a minute and let that sink in

NO I'm a fan of the regime that traded Joe Johnson "untradable" contract and fleeced the nets in the process. But you don't here me though, do you? :WhatevaNikka:

[FreshFromATL]

Nah, this is the type of signing we have been begging for since Tmac burned us

We would embrace him , and Thibs would hold him accountable

You are the first dude Ive known to be a fan of the front office instead of the team but where do you cop atl front office gear at though? NBAstore sell that might wanna cop some myself

 

[red222]

@JaredZwerling: Melo needs to see decision as 3-5 year plan. Not just Bulls, etc. as win now. NY has big potential based on next summer. Plus, more $ in NY.
