Where will Carmelo end up?

[djohn2oo8]

Knicks will be the Knicks and not trade him while he walks for nothing. Where do you think he'd sign? I would say the Bulls.

[Clipper Nation]

Hopefully the Lakers on a max contract :lol

[jdiggy0424]

He'll want to go to a contender for sure. But there is a slight chance that he sticks out with the next for the next several years

I am hoping Clippers can free up money so they can create a Superteam

Definitely don't want that fat brick-chucker Melo on the Clippers, tbh....

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Miami for the vet min. Then Riley should sign Darko just for grins.

[spurraider21]

Does Dallas have room or did they blow it all on Calderon

[djohn2oo8]

They would be smart to trade him and at least get some picks back since they don't have any this year.

[jimbo]

He stays in New York and takes the money. He had no problems blowing up the Knicks so he could keep his max from the Nuggets. He'll keep the money again this time.

This. Plus as a condition of signing, the Lakers would also have to bring over friend killer with him.

Side benefit of the Kobe extension we cant waste money on non-superstars.

They shouldn't, but technically yes they can. Especially if Nash is forced into medical retirement.

[Killakobe81]

People are saying his contract will mean Melo etc won't join ... good.
Melo is a very good scorer but if we cant get Durant or a "young" all-star I'd rather Lakers hold on to Cap space until Kobe comes off the books.

[Killakobe81]

Melo aint young.

[RsxPiimp]

Melo aint young.

And this is why he's getting his max money with the Knicks.

How does it mean that? Lakers would still have room to sign him.

[RsxPiimp]

He's not signing with the Lakers because they're not going to offer him max $$$. They learned the hard way with Nash and Kobe. They're going for Love and/or Westbrook.

You actually trust Fredo to make a smart decision? :lol

But nothing else. and they wont be a legit contender. If he wants to play with a non contender in big market why not milk Knicks for an extra year?
Unless we win lotto then maybe Lakers convince him to come over, but I doubt he would leave NYC even if we beg.

That makes absolutely no sense. Why would the Lakers sign Kobe for near max if they weren't prepared to make a big offer this summer?

I agree, I'm just saying it's possible to do it based on numbers.

Without Jim Buss we're light two NBA World Titles. If Pop wasn't such a stick-in-the-mud you'd be at Duncan: 5 - the tired old shit bag Kobe: 5. Don't you dare cast Jim Buss down.

Ever since Howard arrived in Houston you've suddenly become a half way intelligent poster. Before that you were an insufferable, trolling asshole.

Congratulations.

But they may not have the wherewithal, self esteem, & lastly the fatherly influence to resist, Killa. And besides we've already got 5 & 16 so it's not like we're destitute like the fatherly influence believed himself to be. Christ, I'm old & sodded enough to sign on,,,like Pop was old & sodded enough to fuck around by making Duncan play musical chairs last June.

Like when Bud Grant came back to the Vikings way back then...he just said "fuck it" and started going for it on every 4th down regardless.

He's a cash cow. Everyone knows once Dwight left winning in Kobe's window has officially closed. Kobe can still pay the bills right now tbh.

But, Fredo cast out Ronnie Lester after all Lester did for him, picking Bynum and all....

[Kool Bob Love]

I'll guess he stays a knick.

[RsxPiimp]

I'm down in giving him one more chance, let's see how he rebuilds the Lakers once Kobe's contract is up. He was pretty good before the contract, CP3, Dwight etc.

[DMC]

If he goes anywhere, it's going to be a big market situation. I doubt he leaves though, he's got it made. He's in a situation where he's not pressured to win, and he's the only real game in town after Jeter retires (if you don't consider baby Manning tbh). Right now he's on top of the world in NY playing in Madison Square Garden. How could he get any better off? Ring? lol

This. i think he stays. And even if he doesn't what team could he go to and actually help win a title with without disrupting that team's chemistry?
Pacers? More touches taken from PG? Most of the contenders he is not a great fit. Chicago makes some sense with Deng gone, maybe TT gets him to play defense but does he want to risk his next few years on Rose's knee? Could end up with a Amare 2.0 situation.

lol captain obvious at your service. lol fucking retard

Melo is coming to LaLa Land………… with Wiggins and Melo we'll be raising another banner a lot sooner than the haters would like.

^example of trying too hard

[Venti Quattro]

I hope he doesn't end up in LA at all. You know, even on the Clippers.

[Rogue]

Melo will go where money is so he'll remain in NY more likely than not since the Knicks will be able to offer him more than any team would. The only possibility of him leaving NY is if the Knicks refuse to give him the max (which's highly unlikely)

[rascal]

He is going to the Lakers.

[MeloHype]

He's going to the bulls

[DMC]

Taken out of context. Melo said that he could possibly attract talent to NY by becoming a free agent, meaning that the NY front office would feel pressure to sign BaBoon James if they knew they might end up with nothing.
