Melo issues a statement via his website

[Victim of Racism]

Sista...you are smoking some new age piff....put me on to your supplier

You keep talking about the health or Rose and Noah but you combat that with all you need in a upgraded "healthy" 54 win team...and please miss me with all this- we will attract free agents bc of the magic wand of the Zen Master and NYC bright lights...if everything is equal..good coaching staff, big market ( I am a nyer but we often act as if we are the ONLY major market) a "chance" to win..it will come down to who pays more...and the reason it was about the money is bc, if it wasnt why did he ponder 2 days about the Bulls after already seeing the Knicks offer KNOWING the bulls couldnt pay even close to that..if he thought the Knicks were such an obvious choice why not sign ASAP...if the team if closer to a title and they obviously could pay more..just sign as soon as you could...but he knew...he knew

Dismissive statements are rebuttals. It doesn't have to be the only place to win in order to be a draw. If it was about the money, why would he ponder?

Wait til he get a look at Calderon's defense

that you think he's hasn't already seen it. Point guard defense isn't as important as wing or interior defense; that's why horrid defenders like Rose, Curry, and Lillard are starters.

Because he knew the bulls were closer to winning a title BUT he wants his money and once he saw he couldnt get close to what the Knicks were offering ( exploring every possible way the Bulls can clear cap) How can you truly think he saw NY as his best winning option?

 

[The G.O.D II]

I Look at the Bulls roster as not that talented....I see excellent coaching that maximizes the limited talent. Getting Pau was a good pick-up but the rest of the squad is aite at best talent wise, Jimmy play hard but he a role player, same with Taj...I love Joakim but he's a Hustle player that has maximize his talent. D rose is no Better the Amare at this point health wise...If you can say McDermott gonna be nice why can't I say Early going to be nice? Chicago front office known for not wanting to spend money...Dolan down to spend whatever. If you think the Bulls Is the Better team that's cool but don't come like it's crazy for me to think the Knicks can be better...then that's when i Know it's hate

Breh, the reason we didn't get Melo was because of our cap situation otherwise he would be in a bulls uniform. Stop with this nonsense that the Bulls don't spend money. This isn't 98

Just a terrible post all together

PG defense isn't important so that's the only reason Rose, Curry, and Lillard are starters

Build a case on another partial statement . I said:

He already played with a franchise player with bad knees, and missed the Playoffs for the 1st time in his career because a player just came off of knee surgery (J.R.). Why would he think Rose and Noah would help him win? at this logic. You guys weren't gonna win anything with any franchise player because your franchise player and your defensive anchor are coming off of injuries.

I've already answered your question but here it is again:

An upgraded 54 win team, Phil, the Triangle, imminent cap space, a large market to display your talent (see Lin and Cope) that will draw people, a franchise player who has never had any major below-the-waist injuries (who will draw people more than the market will), the imminent availability of free agents like Marc Gasol and Rondo (you don't need a play-maker of his caliber for the Triangle but his defense would be great), etc.

If point guard defense was as or more important than post and wing defense, you're telling me Rose, Lillard, and Steph wouldn't be starters?

I would hope not. I would hope they would get play-makers that you don't have to hide, like Rondo and CP3. An example is Miami started Chalmers for his defense; not his shooting, and not his play-making abilities (he is a good play-maker but Lj can't play off the ball).

It might be but that wasn't what me and homie was debating.....BUT that's another reason why the Knicks was a better choice

My gripe with him is If you feel like The Bulls are the better team..cool!
But why is it Crazy for me to think the Knicks can be better?
It's nothing special about the Bulls outside of Thibs coaching and even that has shown it's limitations and that's no shade

I was always realistic about Melo. Ya'll should be happy to have kept him

Bulls are gonna have the best front court around next season, we are 1 piece on the wings away from being a real contender

You talking some shyt that the Knicks can make a run at the East next season is just ridiculous, They havent proven shyt for you to be talking reckless like that
