yea... Melo isnt going there. Lebron wants max money. Melo already has the offer in NY. So if those get paid its chump change for Wade (recently divorced looking for a final payday), Haslem, etc etc

Word on the street is Bosh will stay if lebron stays. I doubt Wade goes anywhere and he is gonna get his money he opted out of. Thus, Lebron stays, Bosh stays. No room for Melo.
Lebron goes, Melo can take his place but that puts Melo in a real bad place. Melo is not Lebron and will get a ton of crap if the team does not sniff finals. If Lebron leaves, Bosh likley leaves. Wade is left and they can just get in the mix for Durant and Marc Gasol.

IDK know if Melo/Wade/LeBron is necessarily a sure thing to get a ring. If Wade keeps falling apart, and they don't upgrade their roster, I could see them losing to the Spurs, the Thunder, or maybe not make the finals if Rose is healthy.

I don't see Melo going to Miami - I think Lebron has made up his mind to leave - that, or he is fed up with Bosh & Wade coming up small, and would rather one at least leave.
Lebron leaves - Melo isn't going to South Beach - he'll be crucified for not being Lebron.
Lebron stays - I don't see the room cap wise for Melo to get paid.

Can't Miami sign Melo then go over the cap to sign their own players? Or am I missing something? I do feel like Miami will swoop in and grab Melo. That's been on my mind for months.
