Melo Will visit with Chicago who as Nalod has mentioned frequently won't likely amnesty Boozer. How do I know this, just from following Reinsdorf for years its consistant. This is a guy that won't pay taxes. Now would he if they where legit contenders and had a one year window? I don't know. We get used to Dolan doing crazy stuff like the Amnesty on Billups and turning around and signing Tyson. While it might not weigh much on us, that was like 28million. Didn't get us very much.

Is this the dude Melo wants to partner with to "Win?

Rockets need to dump Lin and his $15 mil and says they can do that. OK. Who plays point guard again? Can they bring back Chandler? Do they really offer us Harden?

Lebron: PHX can make a two star splash. I suppose Sarver has his money in order now? COmpelling team winning 48 last year but I don't see Lebron and Melo making a superfriends reunion.

Lakers? JErry is gone, Jennie is cool but Jimmy is making his run for the New Dolan.

Predictions? I guess its time to lay it on the line UKers and Make them.

Safe to say the easy way is for history to sort of repeat and the home team usually retaining their players after a few days of attention seeking. Lebron and his supefriends figure out how to retool the bench and Melo Stays providing the big splash is Pau.
Thats Pau for one year. Nalod understands the media will hype it and usually little happens. If Im wrong, it will be more fun!!!

Year two? Woosh, thats a tough one to call.

The starphuch sign and trade is the big factor. PJax saying he won't do it but its a nice way to warn teams to not count on it and puts them on guard that we won't make it easy for them.

IM split, I want to see Melo fulfill his Moobyistic quest and go out a winner but another part wants to move forward without him and build a new foundation with some sign and trade assets.

Melo leaves, we bring in Pau and Deng with Yoots and cap flex going into the next two years. Marc Gasol and Durant in NY?

Its WHY they keep their jobs!!!!
They get paid to generate "Clicks".......

Joe Six Pack likes to takes sides, assign an enemy, a "Villan", root against the bad guy,. Tear him down, watch him fall then cheer for a "Comeback"!!!!

BTW, fans are allowed to have their own opinions but its hard to cut thru the fabricated and deal with facts.

Joe Six pack also like to think they are "in the know" and actually a part of the process!

Read some of Ron Rons stuff, you get the idea!

Don't get me wrong, we have some posters here that actually watch games and form their own opinions. They might not be right most of the time, but they are THINKING!

Guys LIke ISOLA are drumming up readership with rants and redundant stories.

Fans are hungy for news. Hungry for Rumors!!!

Its why we exist here and on Hoopshype!!! Color me guilty as charged!!!

It really all boils down to 'what does Lebron do'. The big question there now that they've all opted out is 'how much less' will they take and 'how much better will they be'. Also, how much damage has been done to the super friendship in the process.

Lebron will be the first domino, then everything else will fall into place depending on what he does.

No doubt, and Bosh is in their as well.

I think after that is the KLove potential trade.

Has anyone considered what Chicago did reaching up to get Doug McDermott? Despite his pigment, he has some fans in high places that think the world of him.
No doubt Bulls can use him in its existing lineup and the kid could do very well.

Or,

He is used as trade bait in a deal for KLove?

Being KnickCentric, they could package him with Booze and ship him to Knicks for Melo and Priggs!!

Then we can argue if he is the Next Larry Bird or Gallo!!

interesting because I have heard the TV deal will be huge and blow up the cap. Lockout seems to think the owners will want to ensure that added revenue goes in their pockets not the player. Ill wait for it to pick up steam

After the new sales of the teams and the revenue growth after the previous lockout a stoppage was always coming. It has more to do with the players than the owners.
