Was just with Zach this past weekend

Would love to see Melo go to the Bulls. Would instantly make them title contenders.

I thought you hated the Bulls with a passion though...

Replace LaVine with Exum but yes

But just because I hate the bulls doesn't mean that I don't recognize that when healthy, they are a very formidable team and if they get Melo, that makes them for sure title contenders.

And since I like Melo, want to see him succeed, and since the bulls look like it would be the best place for that to happen, I'm rooting for him to go to the bulls.

Still hate them though

In what way is that lineup Melo is about to be 30 dude doesn't have the time to wait

Fool's gold to me. And this is dangerous because he may start shooting a lot more because of this recent success

I'm happy that the clips are on a win streak, but I honestly feel like this isn't good. They are seriously unhealthy and Matt Barnes will return to earth in all likelihood. I just want them to get healthy man. Still confident in them, but would love to see them get healthy

I agree. We need Redick and Crawford health if we really want to do something in the playoffs. Can't count on Barnes to continue playing this well - though I will say that he was the only healthy Clipper besides CP who played consistently well in the playoffs last year.

Bulls are probably the most likeable team from a personnel/approach to the game standpoint but without any scorers they're just hard to watch

I don't really find anything about them likable, AND they are dreadful to watch.

Getting lucky in the lottery year after year...  Coach who grinds his players into the ground...  Bad owner...  Delusional fans...  Lots not to like.

From K.C. Johnson, Bulls beat reporter.

"Ah, the Carmelo Anthony question. Here’s what it would take to land Anthony: Use the amnesty provision on Carlos Boozer. Trade -- at least --Taj Gibson to a team with salary-cap space, taking nothing in return. Do not sign Nikola Mirotic. And then start next season with Joakim Noah, Anthony, Mike Dunleavy, Jimmy Butler (unless he had to be traded as well to clear cap space), Derrick Rose, Tony Snell and a bunch of minimum-salaried players and whatever rookies are added."

I was expecting them to send that pick (Exum) to us

I agree, it would make a lot of sense if he goes that route. I was just looking for a reason to bring up the "always hurt" line though.

 

EDIT: I have no reason to like those MOGS from Chicago but I **** with a lot of their players + Thibs. They're in it to win each season in spite of ownership/management offering little help. I don't see how that's bad at all.

Love Rose/Noah/Thibs (even though he doesn't understand the concept of rest)

Also love that they get decimated by injury and still find ways to win.

Last year they were my favorite team in the playoffs besides GS

I agree though, their owner is terrible.

Don't think they ever got lucky in the draft besides Rose

I find their bigs annoying

i knew it

[awwsome]

Boozer is just entirely too loud but Noah is a guy you hate if you're playing but love if he's on your team

Find me a big that's rebounding/passing/defending like he is for 40+ mins every night

Melo is definitely not wanted on the Wizards.

Speaking of the Wizards, everyone is always criticizing Anthony Bennett, but WTF happened to Otto Porter Jr (aka the most NBA ready player)?
