Where should Melo go? Or should should he stay in NY? Explain your choice.

    Best shot he has at a ring imo, he'll still get his shots and Thibodeau knows how to hide average defenders

    smh Yall so stubborn.

    You don't need a team wit all stars at every position.2 scorers with solid rebounding and elite defense is a championship recipe.

    Then you're comparing the bulls motion offense(consistent movement,back door cuts/screens,drive and kick) to that wacc ass okc offense where they just jack jumpers and rotate isos between russ and the servant all game.Bulls were top 10 in team assists despite not having their pg.Bulls need a scorer/scoring

    Smh Nggas learn nothing. So when Miami wins its 3rd title in a row NOT using that model will you then be willing to change, or?? B/c they have 3 "scorers" (which is dumb wording anyway b/c they are much more than "scorers", perhaps what u mean is "stars"), they have terrible rebounding, but a gang of 3pt shooters...or if SA wins it'll be due to 3 "scorers" and a gang of shooters...when Dallas won it was due to a gang of shooters.

    The defense of course will always be SOMEWHAT of a constant, but not as impt as you think. Chicago is working on an antiquated model, and despite the success of the teams who've flourished in recent years, yall STILL havent learned. smh

    So even SA and 1 of the best coaches of all time in Popovich has changed his model---from "2/3 scorers and defense" to all out scoring and the 3 ball---but the Bulls are good enough to not have to? smh

    You sound like an idiot bruh.Miami is the EXCEPTION to the rule and if u take lebron off that team they'd get sonned he is the reason miami is elite and he's one of the greatest ever.Everybody can't and won't use that miami model.Look at the last 5 champs lakers 2 stars,role players,solid defense,spurs 3 stars,role players,solid defense,Mavs 1 star,several role players solid defense,heat 1 star (and a star by name but shaq was damn near washed) several role players iiight defense,pistons no stars Elite defense and role players.So now everybody needs to follow miamis way? Foh ?

    This ngga stay takin "his team" personal. We got another greenwood.

    And you cite the Pistons of 2004 and the Heat from 2006??! Catch up ngga its almost 2015.

    Im not attacking the Bulls for their lack of "stars", im attacking them based on their lack of scoring and firepower, 3 pt shooting, etc. You're not winning with that 2 yards and a pil of dust bullshyt they on. And shame on you if you underestimate the sophistication of the game and think somethign that worked even just 8.9 years ago is gon work today.

    Proof? I'll post it again @rd and @billfiger in case you didnt see it the first time:

    Even SA and 1 of the best coaches of all time in Popovich has changed his model---from "2/3 scorers and defense" to all out scoring, depth, and the 3 ball.

    Even with Bron, wade, and Bosh, Miami won the last 2 yrs b/c of Bron at the 4 and spacing with depth and 3's.
    And yes defense. Chicago has the defesne, but w/ Thibs and the way of thinking similar to yall, they will NEVER have the offense.

    These guys been each others rivals, since The public school era, as teenagers.
    Carmelo always show up to face Lebron.
    He's never, and I mean never, are going to sign up, and play with Lebron. not to mention hes always been overshadowed by lebron.

    The media hyped them up as rivals...fans wanted them to be rivals...in reality they are friends and LeBron has already shown interest in being his teammate.

    Dude u watch to much cartoons.
    Rivals can't be friends?
    Melo always, and I mean always get up for Bron.
    I remember In his 2nd Year, In a slam magazine interview , He held a record of his matchups with Bron.
    Melo Is not teaming up with Bron

    I honestly don't know. He'll have to be somewhere where he isn't the team's 1st and 2nd offensive option, if he wants to win. Melo's best teams were when he had players around who could be ball-dominant and efficient when needed to be (Chauncey Billups and Kenyon Martin before they were past their primes) and rim protectors (prime Marcus Camby, Birdman and Nene).

    If the Knicks shed some dead weight and add a weapon or two, they'd fit that description along with a few other teams like Chicago.

    I spelled it all out, yet your rebuttal is 'u make no sense'. You clearly have no input on the matter.

    How the ? is the Bulls with Melo not enough

    They had 2 sixth man of the year candidates coming off the bench and would add much need scoring with Melo an by getting Rose back

    How are they the same as OKC when they play great defense unlike OKC and are well coached and disciplined unlike OKC ?

    OKC is not losing due to defense. They are losing due to offense in critical times. b/c only 2 guys are giving buckets consistenly. This is a team that in the reg season is among the higher scorign teams in the league.

    So what do you think the Bulls gon do?

    So if one of the most elite of elite duos EVER, Durant and RW, aint enough, my goodness what makes u think a questionable Rose and Melo is?? I know yall might be biased as fans but seriously, cmon.

    No your clear bias is blocking yoru better judgment. Like we havent been talking about what team Love can team up with (the Bulls continue to come up). Like people aint been talkin about potential 3 headed monsters for the last 4, 5 years Love, CP3, Deron, Melo, etc. You're delusional.

    In the last 25 years only the 93 bulls,04 pistons and the 12 and 13 miami heat werent in the top 10 in defensive rebounds and still won the title.Bulls have the defense,the rebounding and the hustle/role players they need SCORING adding melo is adding scoring.Adding melo to the current core would make the bulls legit title contenders.I have no idea what point you tried to make or what you were talking about

    Class dismissed

    'The thing about the old days...they the OLD days.' ? outta here you VHS cassette.

    Whether you or anyone likes it or not, Lebron n co teaming up changed everything (Boston's big 3 has a share in that movement as well). You still livin in the past.

    ...but u keep citing teams from 25 years ago.
    And i'll contnue to bump these threads year...after year...after sorry ass year that the Bulls continue to bang their head against a concrete wall with their 2 yards and a pile of dust.

    09-10 lakers- pau and kobe
    11 Mavericks - dirk

    You a clown.This is 3-5 years ago teams wit 1 and 2 primary scoring options won the title.The Bulls wit melo and rose and some shooters added to the current core would win the title or at least get to the finals

    ? , idk. Bulls make a ton of sense on paper, but I wonder if the experience with Amare would make Melo wary of teaming up Rose. Houston is illogical as hell to me. I don't think Miami would sink the cap space into adding a 4th star when they could use it to add some youth and athleticism to the bench.

    Houston would create a big 3 of Melo, Harden, Howard. How does that make sense?

    Because it doesn't address Houston's glaring defensive inefficiency. Then there's how you divide touches between Harden and Melo, two guys that command the ball and have been ball-stoppers nh at times. Last year Dwight felt that the offense needed to run through him more so he's really going to ? and complain if they add Melo.

    Bruh OKC is losing because of discipline an defense...none of this ? u talking and even on offense, that points to a coaching issue

    How is a team scoring over 100 points and losing not having defensive issues? A team who can't stop the Grizzlies offense not having issues on defense?

    So they have a game where 4 guys score for the ENTIRE game, but you want to add more defense. They START Sefolosha, Perkins, and Ibaka, and you want MORE defense.
    Bruh, are you sick

    Do you not understand the concept of team defense and good individual defenders and the difference ?

    Are you disputing OKC not being a good defensive team or disciplined

    Ngga catch up to where im at man Lol I overstand what you're getting at, but that is coaching then. We're talking personel. And i've yet to hear someone who DOESNT think OKC needs a legit 3rd scorer. There's a thread on it, check it out.

    And how does that relate here? Yall sayin add Melo on the Bulls and they're ready to go. No. They would be in the same hunt for a 3rd scorer. No matter how good their defense is, they not winnin no ring with Noah/Butler/Gibson as their 3rd option
