Where is best place for Carmelo

[jjgold]

I think we see the final decisions on all these guys by the end of next week

[smoke a bowl]

Best place for Melo is not on my team.

[jjgold]

Smoke a bowl that might've been the best answer

He's just a cancer. Can't imagine as talented as he is that him and Lebron can play well together. He likes to take too many bad shots.

cracks me up when i read quotes like "he never won anything" This isn't tennis. There are twelve other players on the team. Roibert Horry won a ton. Would ya rather have Horry or Carmelo? Fukin sports fans are dumber then dirt most of the times

well your comparison is not apt. Melo is not a foundational piece you build a championship team around.

looks like melo not going to chicago. broussard said Rose was surprised to see Melo in chicago, so he was not part of the recruiting pitch. I'd ship d. rose out anyway. guy has two severe knee injuries, and for a player that depends on athleticism this is a detrimental to his game.

I agree he's not coming to Chicago, but that is completely untrue. Nobody was surprised Melo was in Chicago and he was part of the recruiting pitch.

First off, Carmelo is all sizzle and no steak. Puts up decent numbers but his teams always flounder. That said, he will be heading to LA. They are offering him max money and he's dumb enough to believe that he and his self-obsessed wife will become international movie stars if they move to La-La Land.

[KRIT]

Rotoworld making it sound like he will re-sign with Knicks.

[jjgold]

Why anyone would want Carmelo on their team is beyond belief

He'll be with the Knicks and out of it at the All-Star break

[lupe]

does Carmelo make other players on his team better? Of course not.

[jjgold]

Carmelo makes nobody better he is one of the most useless players on any NBA roster

He's just a ball hog and dribbles way too much

Of course he is going to average 27 points a game but what does it mean?

[MoneyLineDawg]

He's really not as bad as you guys think

You think you're all smarter than these top franchises fighting over him? Smarter than Phil Jackson?

He has his flaws but he's a top scorer in the league which is worth a lot.....

Correct! Dude is a cancer to any team

Don't speak that nonsensical logic around here. People love to hate on him as they sit back and watch him a couple games a year and don't know shit. The same people who say the NBA product sucks and never watch but they're experts.

[teaserpleaser]

Best place is here in LA wifey is a star and needs to be here often anyways .... American Dream is a Mansion on the beach in Manhattan Beach being a Laker isn't half bad. NO offense but who the fukk wants to live in the Midwest?? LA offered the max is the rumor he knows what to do the best weather,paid, be a laker, live in an Elite Beach community if you wish or not but the option is there....no brainer imo theres a reason theres so many people here. That's some quality of life for your ass.

Lakers make 'strong impression'Updated: July 5, 2014, 10:42 PM ET

In a surprising twist, the Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as the team that most worries the New York Knicks in their attempt to re-sign superstar free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.


The Lakers' pitch -- of teaming Anthony with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and prized rookie Julius Randle on a team with no long-term salary obligations -- made what one source described as a "strong impression" on Anthony and has made his decision over the holiday weekend "tough," according to another source close to the situation.

Los Angeles met with LeBron James' agent Rich Paul on Friday, and the four-time MVP is giving similar consideration to what the Lakers have to offer, according to sources.


Gasol has emerged as a key selling point for the Lakers. While the Spaniard has been listening to pitches from championship contenders who lack much financial flexibility, such as Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Miami and Chicago, sources believe he would quickly re-sign with the Lakers if they are able to land Anthony or James.


ESPN reported Thursday that the Lakers made it clear to Anthony, who is living and training in L.A. this summer, that they'd offer him the maximum four-year, $97 million contract they can, if he were to choose them. That's less than the five-year, $129 million offer the Knicks have verbally pitched to Anthony. The Lakers also made it clear to James that they'd offer him the maximum they could, sources said.


However, there are also scenarios in which both James and Anthony could come to the Lakers, if each was willing to play for around $16 million per season, especially if the Heat and Knicks were willing to work a sign-and-trade with them.


Bryant wasn't able to make it to the Lakers' pitch meeting with Anthony on Thursday after it was moved up by several hours. He was still in the air from his flight home from a family vacation as the meeting was taking place. However, sources said the two superstars have been in constant communication this summer, and there is some sentiment Anthony's respect for Bryant could ultimately "put the Lakers over the top."


The shift in Anthony's thinking was first reported by Grantland's Bill Simmons on Saturday on Twitter.


ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported last week that the Knicks' confidence in re-signing Anthony was strong as he began his cross-country free agent recruiting tour through Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Los Angeles.


It was widely assumed that the Bulls posed the strongest challenge to the Knicks for Anthony, but that has shifted over the weekend, sources said. The Bulls do not currently have the ability to offer Anthony a maximum contract.

Almost hope he goes to LA. The Lakers never stay down for a long time.

[konck]

Suns they can give him and LaBrown max contracts right now
they had a young team good enough to win 48 games
they got 3 1st rounders this year and next year
And they have a legendary training staff to keep these guys healthy

The set back is ///its not a major market

[jjgold]

maybe James and Anthony surprise everyone and go together somewhere

Although many think this is all hype and they both re sign an take the most money

[homie1975]

Lakers didnt stay down long when dr buss was alive and phil was available but when the cp3 trade got nixed a few yrs ago it was a sign that the jig is up.

the lakers are minimum 3 yrs away from being relevant again, probably even longer than 3

[jjgold]

I would think by the end of this week one of the two will make an announcement

I say Anthony first

[jsmithj88]

i hope he joins the lakers
it will be fun watching them put up 110 points while they lose by 50 every night

nash
kobe
carmelo
randle
gasol

bench: young, monroe, ariza, possibly lin

please be dumb enough to go on record and tell me this isn't a playoff team.

[jjgold]

They would be fairly competitive no danger in the playoffs though

[tony_come]

He's not even that good

[tony_come]

Chris Paul
Melo
Wade
Bosh
If you put them on a same team, can they win nba championship?

Think about it!
