they even had their mouthpiece sas on the radio saying Melo was gonna leave all year in hopes Dolan panics

It's basically what Melo is banking on. Dolan being Dolan...the Knicks can offer the most money. We'll get to see soon if Phil is actually in charge of of he just wanted a paycheck.

Random tweets from the NY media. Even considering this issue won't be settled for another week the earliest it is still a good read









^ is a really interesting post and just repeats what I been saying. The knicks aren't going to do the bulls the favor and take boozer.



^ Yep, Melo isn't going to get that kobe max in NY so its on other teams to find the pieces to trade for his bird rights from the knicks if they want to give it to him



^ shyt sounds like some break up type shyt :heh:

Real talk I got respect for Phil da Gawd. :win:

He realizes that Boozer isn't shyt and paying 15 million (or 30 million when you add cap penalties) for 16 & 19 and a euro player who says he won't even come here unless he plays for the bulls is bullshyt:rudy:.

If the bulls want Melo either get the youth/player/picks the knicks want or deplete your assets regardless to get Melo and hope he is willing to take 18 starting for 4 years with the reality he is losing between 20 - 35 million over the life of the contract. If he walks and the knicks get nothing fukk it thats better than the knicks losing yet another trade..... Again

We'll see if Dolan allows Phil to stick to his game plan of not giving Melo the max. Like the Daily News is saying, it wouldn't shock me if Melo is using the Bulls as leverage to get the Knicks to pony up.

IF Melo wants to stay and comes out and says that...great...but no max.

If Chi town is the destination...We aren't taking Boozer & we want Taj & those picks...

If not...let Melo walk, don't take on any bad contracts(No David Lee) and we trade into the draft & keep our expirings.

HARDLINE RULE

What if the deal was more

Boozer 16 non guarantees and mirotic

For melo and Felton?

Yea still paying tax but getting into the draft an unloading Felton ?

How does that sound?
I'll play this poker game w/ you...

Mind you, I'm not Dolan, I'm more Phil...I would think Phil is looking at the potential negatives of any deal...

Mirotic may never come over. Best believe I'm still salty at the Knicks choosing Frederick Weiss instead of Ron Artest back in the day so I'm generally anti-euro.

Boozer is basically in queue just like Amare for the salary slaughter house...I want to atleast enjoy next season a little. If we take on Boozer, then we would HAVE to try to deal Boozer or Stat otherwise that locker room would be awkward as hell & we'd honestly have no real rotations next season.

The deal isn't that bad but acquiring boozer almost forces a [roll dice again] before the season starts... Sorry breh. Dap + Rep coming though.

I hear this Euro got game though ...


Give me a Pick or Butler & you have a deal
I'm giving you the 16th pick

Might even add a couple of moderate picks

Got this year 2nd rd pick, sac pick (top 10) protected and a Cleveland swap option (top 15 protected) the good is Cleveland can make the offs next season and the kings are working hard to add a guy so they record might be good enough to drop to mid teen
