I kind of figured the Knicks would meet Melo in LA since Phil, Rambis, and possibly fisher still live out there. This would be a nice group to talk to Gasol too.

The various rumors are:

OKC front runners for Gasol
Gasol waiting to see where Melo goes
Gasol and Melo on Bulls
Gasol and Melo on Knicks
LA and NY front runners for Gasol because culture of cities is important to him.

So the media have all the bases covered!

That's 3/5 for Melo/Pau so that means they are not playing together.

Unless Pat Riley lines up talent appealing to James within cap structure soon, one LBJ suitor says: "LeBron seems ready to explore market."

Media with strong ties to Miami, which is where he's been for four years, think LeBron's coming back. That's not bias, that's sourced

Story soon to hit online: ESPN sources say Rockets will turn attention to trying to pry Chris Bosh out of Miami IF Melo passes on Houston

I think Bosh would look good there and would do well with the 2 big style the Western conference like to use. He would have to pick up his rebounding but maybe McHale would help with that. He could still space the floor but I would like him in the paint more.
