i really hope this saga ends fast.

Supposed to announce his decision second week of July.

Carmelo Anthony is planning to meet with the Chicago Bulls in Chicago on the opening day of free agency after the NBA's offseason market officially opens Tuesday at 12:01 a.m., according to sources familiar with Anthony's plans.

I'm still very convinced he ends up in Chicago.

Houston is a done deal, we were told

Such a huge gamble banking on Derrick Rose playing like he did during his "MVP" (the quotes are there for a reason) season again, I don't see how you can choose them when there's a better option like Houston out there.

The Bulls were a 4 seed led by fucking Joakim Noah. Add melo to that, and anything out of Rose pushes that team into 1 seed contention in the east.

 

[Mexi]

The pros and cons for houston and chicago are so close

Has to go gut
Im hoping houston

 

[elcheato]

Chicago is in a terrible conference and lack scoring more than defense. Seems like Chicago is the better fit to me

Wouldn't come close to challenging any team in the West in the Finals if they could even get last Indiana, which Id doubt

and Houston wouldn't make it out of the west, so what is the difference?
 
Pacers aren't a threat to anybody.
 
All this being said, I'm not even sure if I want Melo.  Bulls only have about 11 million to spend.  If they get him, it probably means Taj is done in Chicago, and I don't want that.

Oh, the head scratching hate continues .
 
It depends on what you think is better for Melo, at this point in his career. In Houston he could move without the ball a little more for 3 and a half quarters and not have such constant pressure on him.. Obviously, they'd iso him over Harden at the ends of games because it's dumb to iso anyone not named Melo when you have Melo. I hate Iso, but McHale seems unwilling to do anything else at the ends of games.
 
At the same time, Chicago offers more chemistry among their current group and a much, much better head coach. If Rose is at least still a good player, the Bulls would be a real threat with Melo.

Edited it before you posted to make it not as extreme.

Woodson would iso Melo at the end of games 10/10 times. It didn't go too well.

Though of course we didn't have any other sporting threats so at least Houston has a second option to go to.

Small price to pay to sign a top 10 player

I'd give them a better chance of coming out of the West than I'd give the Bulls making the NBA Finals, and I'm not even a fan of Melo or his game.

 

[elcheato]

Of course you would
