Knicks · Why the delay? (page 1)

djsunyc @ 7/10/2014 7:41 PM
what's taking so long for melo, bosh + lebron to reveal their decisions?

conspiracy?

new super friends?

or is this engineered by the nba to generate more pub, give espn more ratings and website hits?

why do you think this is taking so long?

are they in rehab with rob ford?

Unless Lebron is coming I don't want Melo back. If all we are left with is Melo then I hope he takes a discount and opt out clause to eventually get Lebron to come here in a year
djsunyc @ 7/10/2014 7:48 PM
i figured this was all for show. everyone knew where they were going and all that but it is awfully quiet right now. maybe the conspiracies are right and melo + lebron are plotting a team up somewhere. if so, then dan gilbert should really do an interview and explain just how much he got played by lebron and his agent.

Maybe if Chris Bosh makes first move then Melo and LBJ can go back to Miami and say well Bosh went here and the opportunity was here etc..

I think that is what they are hoping for. I heard on espn radio today that LeBron told Bosh to do what was best for him and his family.

thats what everybody says

Bosh sucks. Lbj wants to play next to a scorer so he can do all the other things. Wade had nothing in the finals. It's the only thing that adds up. Lbj doesn't want to look like the bad guy

Not if they want you to come back and be your teammate the next year.

Yep. But if he wants it to happen he needs to tell Bosh. Also, hs flirting with going back to the cavs will make him even more hated there.

the delay is that they're punk bitches that want the attention like little women
BigRedDog @ 7/10/2014 9:03 PM
No idea why the delay but supposedly Lebron def going back to Cleveland and Thibodeau playing major role in keeping Melo interested in Chicago
alwaysaknick @ 7/10/2014 9:14 PM
I start feel sick of this, why we have to wait endlessly.
DrAlphaeus @ 7/10/2014 9:18 PM
Isn't this just the first day that they could even announce a deal? Did anyone really expect a signing announcement on Day 1 from the Big Dogs?

ESPN and Twitter has devolved the patience of the American sports fan.

I doubt it, would you tell your buddy not to take a 22 mill a yr just so you guys could stay together while you makes 24 mill and he makes 15.

James opted out first, he's done taking a pay cut and having to carry the load, I want the max, i'm a see whats out there, test the waters and I think ya'll should do the same.

Wade is obviously the issue, he's a FREE AGENT and there's been no news about any team interested in his services, why did even opt out?? Because Labron said so? Dude has bad knees, and coming off of half of season..SMH with that one.

If labron goes to the Cavs, and Bosh goes to houston, does he think he's going to get a 20 million per contract from anyone including the heat?

If james does that,That would be pretty fckd up..So when he says do whats best for you and your family, I seriously doubt he meant DO WHATS RIGHT FOR THE TEAM

Then if Bosh goes to Houston and melo goes to miami, thats like saying, good, he's gone now we could do our thing, like bosh was the problem from jump..If Bosh opted out first, i can see that, but he didn't.

These guys are so full of shht

Its like bosh would be getting dumped for melo ... This is some real sorority girl type bs

Delay = knicks working out sign and trade or other moves to free up cap space

Or fifty other things such as Lebron, Lala, Chess moves, Thibs ... who the heck knows at this point, its all smoke and mirrors.

S+T stinks now. If we had Chicago picks couldve had Nurkic Hairston Mirotic Boozer and a future #1. I dont like Doug Mcdermott or anyone else that is young on that roster.

I don't like McDermott either but perhaps he could be moved again? I like Butler, and if JR could be included in deal that would be AOK with me. The Euro big would need to come to NY and maybe Snell too, and tons of draft picks of course.

DrAlphaeus @ 7/10/2014 11:04 PM
Why is every other insult to these guys comparing them to women in a misogynist way?

Why insult them at all?

These are elite professionals who makes millions and owe absolutely nothing to you random strangers.

I'm really high on McDermott. A deadly shooter for a triangle scheme. I'd ask for McDermott, Snell, Mirotic, Cameron Bairstow (really underrated guy) a 2016 first rounder and 2nd rounders for any year we're missing them.
