What I don't get is the sudden onslaught of things saying that it's not looking good for Chicago and that Rose had no idea that Melo was in town. It conflicts with everything reported before. Whether ESPN is being biased or not, something doesn't seem quite right.
I wouldn't be surprised if Melo stayed in NY, that's not really the issue. It's all the stuff about Chicago somehow just screwing up the meeting with Melo. Things like Rose had no idea Melo was there and Melo didn't like the number that was put out there (when supposedly no number was discussed). It's just inconsistent and makes me think there's definitely some sort of "sabotage" effort by the media to try to somehow smokescreen Melo into resigning with NY.
Bah...worded that poorly. Definitely said the wrong thing there. NY's money was always the thing that would bring Melo back, and for that reason they were always the favorites. What I meant was that given the reports about Melo's meeting with Chicago, there wasn't anything to suggest that the Bulls had suddenly fallen off the list. Basically, that it was NY or Chicago, which I guess is still the case, but it the tone of reports before was that Chicago had a chance whereas now there's suddenly a bunch of discord within Chicago's recruiting process and Melo left unhappy with their presentation or whatever...that's the stuff that doesn't line up. Basically it went from Chicago vs NY to Chicago never had a chance after the meeting.
Thanks for your well-thought out contribution to the Bulls board.
What atrocious acts did he "pull" the last couple years?
CCS does have a Blackhawks board :shrug: .
