Should not be a problem now.
The best part of that article:
The cruel truth is that Anthony has repeatedly made career choices that put him in this bind:• Opting for the five-year deal in 2006, instead of free agency in 2010.
• Forcing a trade to the Knicks in February 2011—a move that cost them four starters and multiple draft picks—instead of waiting to sign as a free agent that summer.
• Choosing to stay with the Knicks in 2014, rather than joining contenders in Chicago or Houston.
• And the contract he signed (a near-max $124 million over five years) has, like the deals before it, increased the difficulty of building a supporting cast.
At every turn, Anthony has chosen financial security—the most years, the most money—over flexibility and a chance to compete at a higher level.

You're a fool.
James can talk like this because he already has a ring(s). He can afford to fool around and go to whatever team he wants too.
I would like to think that, at this point of their careers, that they do not want to be known as players that only got their championship because of Lebron James.

I'm just quoting the writer of the article, Howard Beck, stop getting your panties in a bunch.
Not my words, not my fault they're all true.
I don't get why some writers still say he should have signed with the bulls- they are a wreck, rose is a shadow of his former self and he and Butler hate each other. They sacked Thibs, their current coach is a non entity and Noah is injured again. They wouldn't of signed Gasol either.

Yeah i don't get it either. Melo on the bulls would not be a great team. Probably more turmoil.

Moz was a starter? Didn't he have around 17 d n ps coaches decision?

Moz wasn't really a starter. Chandler wasn't really either, but we will count him. Knicks gave up 3 starters and got back 2 (Melo and Billups.)
Wow. Awesome article thanks for posting it.

so we can fix our team by just adding super tony wrotten and they are screwed? sounds like a balanced (knicks) fan view.

I just have to ask, is anyone suggesting the Knicks new 15th man is saving the team?
In regards to the bulls, adding Melo's knee injury last year to their troubles probably makes things worse.

no ... wrotten plus jennings - NOW WE ARE TALKING!
you did not get the point? Who is in better shape, there or us?
So melo has no value to the bulls but to us he is gold?

and maybe he wasn't. In the end they gave up 4 starters, even if they were not starters at the time. Unfortunately for them they were injury riddled and never lived up so the trade was a wash. At the time we probably could have gotten way more than what melo gave us with the package that we gave up but it was an ok trade for both sides.
The argument that Melo could have come here as an FA is a diff story.

I thought the point was simply that the Bulls weren't that good and Melo would not have fixed that so why go there.

how did we know how good they would be? And he probably does make them better.
if he knew that we would be from the worst teams in the league than why stay?
Don't you think that if he can do it again he would not have stayed? I don't think that the money was enough to keep him here.

I don't know. Wasn't the max the Bulls could offer him 82 mil? Also, I think the draws for him were Noah and Thibs. If he went and had to be out for the injury then everything would have fallen a part like it did. He would be on a better team but I don't think it would have worked out the way he wanted it to.
