    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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?

    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.....

    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.

    Lakers make 'strong impression'Updated: July 5, 2014, 10:42 PM ET
    By Ramona Shelburne and Chris Broussard | ESPN.com
    2511COMMENTS67EMAILPRINT
    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.

    • Player Movement Predictor: Play it!
    • NBA Rumor Central: Latest buzz


    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.

    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

    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

    gasol

    bench: young, monroe, ariza, possibly lin

    Melo

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