Stephen A. Smith says Melo is gone after this year

[intruder]

Might make the most sense for both parties.

Phil should just accept a Bulls package of Boozer's expiring, 2 1st's and Mirotic.

It gives Melo his full contract extension he wants, allows the Bulls to keep Taj with a core of Rose, Noah & Melo, and gives the Knicks the top rated Euro prospect, 2 1st's in a solid draft and a huge expiring.

Either way it goes the Knicks are losing and this brings me joy.

Melo, Rose and Noah would be as solid a core as any in the league. This would bring the EC back.

As long as Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics are losing

I hope he's right.

Mirotic is the better fit we would have no floor spacing beyond Melo.

True, then we would have to give the Knicks Taj in that scenario?

Or find a 3rd team?

What do you think of my proposal?

 

[Silkk]

Houston cannot sign him. They would have to move Lin and Asik first.

Trade...

this young sheep still doesn't get it.Thibs will not play mirotic if he can't defend.I saw some of that game on nbatv the other day this slew footed mf is gonna have to learn how to defend he has the same lateral quickness as boozer.Andrea Mirotic

It aint crazy but since dealing boozer seems unlikely. I would rather deal Taj and Dunleavy for a future pick sign Melo outright and give him the option after year 3 to opt out. Keep the picks.

In a perfect world... I think my proposal is a fair deal for all parties

Gives the Bulls a nice title window, and allows the Knicks to start over.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Why are people still using Derrick Rose as a means to make Chicago look more attractive as a destination? Two knee surgeries and basically missing two seasons and he's still a part of the "core". Cmon man.

 

[Shogun]

we fukked anyway

 

[god shamgod]

Knicks aren't making the playoffs.So I don't know what melo is gonna do to be honest.Phil can maybe convince him to stay or it's gonna be a sign n trade to a contender.Regardless he's getting a max or near max deal.I think hiring phil gives the knicks a better chance of keeping him than they had 2 weeks ago

hey man he will play I saw that game nobody guarded anybody but I can't see it being beneficial at the end of the game to have no spacing. If placed around defenders he will succeed. He is an asset to the Bulls only. He can just say fukk it and not come over at all.

Seems fair. If Melo doesn't want to resign with us and he wants to go to ya'll I'd take that package.

 

[Born2BKing]

The fukk else is he supposed to do? Knicks are at least 4 or 5 years away from competing.

Trade...

And what would this trade be...?

Some players on the rockets being traded to the knicks or elsewhere to clear space
