he as pretty good when he actually got playing time, he just never fit in with dantoni's system at all.
still don't get why the hawks paid sefolosha so much, i wouldn't think other teams were about to pay him that much.

I have no problem with Carmelo signing for the 5/129. It's a business and you want your money. But don't talk about how bad you want to win, money doesn't matter and so on. Sign the deal and say, I want money. It's a job and I want to take care of my family.

$65 m? I'd be wildly offended if I was Melo and was offered that. Bulls probably split the check with Melo at dinner. Why is their owner so cheap? I've heard he was cheap before, but this confirms it.

I think this is worth bringing up again now that Melo has been offered the max. Save the 5th year with the Knicks, he won't be leaving that much on the table if he signs a max deal with the Lakers, I think the tax level is similar, maybe slightly more than in NY, so the net money he will get will be basically the same. More than likely there would be some sort of opt out clause after his 3rd year to recoup some of that on the back end, similar to what Dwight got with Houston last year. Just something to keep in mind.
Don't think the Bulls are serious about going after him if that's his their final offer.

So they wouldnt be a legit contender with lebron?
some of yall man.
Did you even read the post? i said it would take 2-3 yrs to become a legit contender if he went to the cavs since their core has no playoff experience

Yea that's impressive. The kings bench stats have to be skewed by the first porting of the season when Isaiah Thomas was scoring like 19ppg off the bench

Which is exactly why I said what I said.
Lebron on cavs = instant legit contender, they got depth at the bigs a proven point guard, a solid 6th man (waiters), and an athletic wing with solid defense and superstar potential to go along with lebron.

If true, obviously Bulls would be pessimistic after offering him that contract.

You guys already know LeBron's whiny *** won't go to any team where he doesn't have at least 2 All-Stars next to him

that would be a big problem in a few years. Bron should really look at this.

Good luck winning a title if Tristan Thompson is your most reliable big.

It's crazy. We set this standard that if LeBron doesn't win a championship, it's a failure, and then we crush him for trying to put himself in the best position to win a championship

he overpaid for that bum boozer though and has kept him on the team even though gibson out plays him every night.
it's the east. lebron on any east team will be considered a title contender just because it's not that hard to get to the finals. bennett might never get playing time if lebron joins them.
waiters is an inefficient chucker.
Kyrie plays no defense.
Wiggins can play defense but he's also a 19 year old rookie who's still finding his offensive game.
Bennett, what else needs to be said.
Andy is a walking injury.
Zeller meh.
TT is solid.
In a 7 game series against bulls / pacers / wizards / bobcats
Lebron is going to have to carry them.

Dudes naming Bulls/Wizards/Pacers and the god damn Bobcats. LeBron by default carries any team he is on because he is a top 10 player of all time. Those teams aside from the Bulls would get the work from the Cavs with Bron.

Miami also had Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem. And Dwyane Wade.
