2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hopefully the reports a few days ago about Melo making his decision this weekend are true....I'm ready for this to be over so we can get on to Kevin Love rumors =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to get this off my chest with all the latest reports of whether Rose recruited Melo or not...I'm I the only guy who actually respects Rose for wanting to beat other elite players instead of trying to create a superfriends team? I guess I'm old school but MJ never tried to recruit his friends Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing to play on the same team. That team would have won every year. I loved the fact that Magic, Bird, MJ, 'Nique, Isiah Thomas, Sir Charles, Karl Malone etc wanted to beat each other, not join forces. It's this new NBA culture of trying to create a stacked team so it won't be as hard to win, LeBron left a back to back 60 win Cavs team because he decided it was too hard. MJ didn't leave the Bulls after they kept losing year after year vs Detroit. It made him that much more determined. I love Rose' old school attitude because that's what it is. He just needs to stay healthy, that's out of his control though. This Bulls team with a healthy Rose is a contender, we still need a scoring wing but the Mavs and the Spurs showed us you don't need a top heavy team to win. In b4 Melo decides to stay in NY, screw him. Edited July 6, 2014 by MexSoxFan#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't, and worse nobody seems to be questioning that the lakers are still a bad team with Melo. So he takes less money to go to a mediocre team in harder conference, because of 34 year old pau gasol and 36 yo Kobe, because they would build around the. 32 yo Carmelo when they are gone? I don't fault melo for going back to NYC, I don't think it's just about the money and he genuinely loves being the star ball player in the city. But if he signs with Lakers to play with Gasol, I once again will be go smacked that everyone else's assets ARE ALWAYS BETTER than Chicagos. Not just Bulls, same with Sox.

A UCLA official confirms only that Kobe was there today, and that Carmelo worked out there last week. Nothing more.

Yeah, I don't know how that would work out. They would have to add a few solid bigs. And would this make a Lebron a 4? It probably doesn't happen, so it's probably not even worth thinking about.
