Melo to Miami

[NatiboyB]

My dude, look at it from his perspective, the Bulls are a great spot because of Thibs and Noah, but what about Rose?


Meanwhile, Florida has the weather, no state income tax and 3 dudes that are his friends and are on the road to titles. He'd automatically become the number 2 there, winning cures all and the media backlash at first would be on him teaming up this that, but if they won a title that goes out the window. None of these dudes want to end up like Malone, Barkley or Ewing.

They just simply aren't going to have enough money to pay him...he'd have to take a pay cut to the nature of 10 mill....or each of them would need to take a pay cut of 3-5 mill.

Its actually 15mil (no pun on 15) we did the math last week. It's more realistic than you think. Bosh out here dropping hints and shyt

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Stop capping player salaries and this wouldn't happen.

It's going to come down to Houston, Chicago and Miami, he has 3 close friends in Miami, if they can offer him the money he will be there. Don't you find it kind of odd that the Heat have all this potential caproom for this summer?

Ray Allen left money on the table in Boston to be there, fans may view them one way, but it's the top destination in the NBA.

I don't find it odd i know they planned all this. good for them, again take control of your future, but personally and bias wise i think chicago is a better fit. Melo can still get his 25 and be one of the leaders on a team winning a ring. In miami he gonna get what 12-13 shots a game? He's not really efficient either or selective with his shots. Maybe he will be but who knows.

Nah, the cap will be at 63 million next year.

If Wade, Bron and Bosh opt out and take 15 million per season, he can take the same deal as them. Florida has no state income tax, so the blow of losing salary is lessened.

"Leaving New York means Carmelo Anthony will have to take less than the maximum contract. He needs to take less to join an injured Rose and Joakim Noah with the Bulls. He needs to take less to join a 35 year old Kobe Bryant and an unnamed cast with the Lakers. He will also take less to join Howard and Harden in Houston. None of these three teams can guarantee Melo a championship the way a Miami Heat "Big 4" can,"



im done with the NBA

He could be the 2nd option on the Heat, Wade would coast through the season, Bosh would see his shots drop but he doesn't seem to care

 

[I.V.]

shyt would straight up crush my soul.

 

[Kang Deezy]

He already does that


Fam, at this point you should never doubt Riley. If all 3 of those dudes opt out you better believe Melo is on the way.

People need to start seeing this as a strong possibility. Wade/Bron/Bosh are smart enough to know they'll need to add another piece to sustain this. You best believe Bron wants 6 titles at a minimum.

Wade coasting and being unleashed in the second half of the season would be a scary sight

The class of 03 > Class of 84

30 for 30

Why would melo take a risk playing with rose after the amare situation? That's what's not being factored in rose has missed 2 seasons and had surgeries on both knees.Why would a free agent take that chance on rose who's injury prone? Bulls only real shot at melo is him wanting to play for thibs

 

[big bun]

Why does this have me so much?

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

I fully support this move. watching Melo dog the Knicks the same way he did us, only he's

1. leaving NY without any compensation

2. going to a rival (in Knick fans minds anyway)

get it done Riles.

Yeah, I'm starting to think it's going to come down to Houston, Miami, or just staying in NY.


The Bulls are a good situation, but Rose is such an uncertainty.
