I got respect for that Cavs team, I hate them, but not as much as I hated Miami. Having said that, even some fellow Bulls "fans" are crowning Cleveland already. My team can win it all. Not guaranteeing anything, but I aint scared of the Cavaliers. Formidable opponent, but very beatable.

So we're still back to a 40 million dollar difference. Dudes saying they would turn that money down and Carmelo will regret this. Like come on son. It's a five year deal and Phil has told him it's gonna take a couple years. Coaching staff has already said this new system will take 2-3 months to pickup.

My bad, thought he signed for $100 million.

They'll have cap space next year but no guarantee of anyone signing. I highly doubt LMA will leave and Gasol is iffy too. They can probably get Rondo but not sure if a Rondo + Melo combo alone will get it done with the superstar talent of the Cavs and the depth of the Bulls they'd be just a third banana, if that.

No it wasn't.

Bulls weren't offering no damn $100M.

Anyone who says they would turn down the difference in money between Bulls/Knicks is a ******* liar. Blame Chicago for not making the gap close enough.

The most they could offer was 4 years and ~ 80 million after trading Taj and filler to free up cap space for a max contract, which they were willing to do and apparently had trades lined up to do so. NY could give him the extra year because they owned his bird rights which is where the 20 million figure came in. It wasn't a matter of the Bulls FO being cheap, it was the fact that NY would be able to offer him more money regardless of what the Bulls did.

At the end of the day...the Bulls wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They had more than one offer for him yet really tried to sell him on taking $64-70M over four years. They also offered the LeBron deal (two years w/ a "promise" of the max in 2016), but Melo had no interest in going through it again and taking that risk.

Like I said...if they really wanted to get him all they had to do was make it a lot closer than what they offered. The financial sacrifice was too much to give up and Melo knows firsthand gutting the team to get there is not ideal. It just wasn't meant to be, I guess. He was the finishing piece that would've put y'all over the top (I said back then it was the best move for him, basketball-wise)...y'all still did fine in the offseason though.

I just find the opinions from NT financial experts hilarious. ****** are liars man.
