This WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN Carmelo Anthony is going to the Bulls. Love is going to GS. Lebron is going to stay with the Heat. Houston Rockets going to pick a no name player in the Draft that may get cut or D- League. and we keep LIN/ Parsons/ Asik. and not pass the first round in the playoff. I want to Houston Rockets to win but the NBA HATE HOUSTON. due to we win 2 NBA championship WITH NO M.J. on the bulls..

Melo would play PF and Parsons would start. Don't be silly. Parsons' minutes would go down to 30mpg, and his defense would return to rookie season levels. Jones would be traded.
I was under the same impression. I really think if the Rockets want to make a serious pitch, they have to move Lin first. I really don't think Melo wants to play with Lin. The Bulls could use Lin as a back up for Rose :grin:
Jones would be a great backup. I could see Melo switching between the two forward positions while Parsons plays bench small forward (while Melo is SF) and starting small forward(while Melo is PF) and Jones would do the same but with the power forward position. It really gives our team flexibility and could pose a lot of match up problems for opponents.
This would also free up Parsons' minutes to play guard behind Harden. Four players for three rock solid positions. We would only need a backup PG behind Bev and backup center behind Super Man and holly ****. Eight man rotation.
For regular season, to ease their minutes, you can throw in Troy 10 minutes and shuffle everyone to larger positions (while relieving any of the 4 players) and give Covington 8 minutes and shuffle everyone to smaller positions (relieving any player).
Yes, especially when you remember Thibs would make them play defense, which McHale has no clue about. If Melo doesn't come to Houston, I hope he goes to the Bulls and they beat down the EC.
i think melo could work on this team and would be a major plus, but there are better fits in bosh or love.
Better fits who aren't available. Bosh will follow LeBron and Wade Love, Minnesota will likely have better offers.
lol On what planet is it possible Melo ends up on the Bulls and they still have Gibson and Butler? Why on earth would the Knicks take Boozer in a trade when they can simply let Melo walk? What - other than Butler, Rose, Noah and Gibson - can the Bulls offer the Knicks to make it worth taking Boozer? Only thing I can imagine is Mirotic + #16 + #19. In which case, how on earth are the Bulls going to fill the roster? Simmons seems to be working for the Bulls the last few weeks.
The Bulls team provides Anthony with more complementary pieces and he would fit in as the primary scorer. If Rockets go after Carmelo and spend $60M on 3 players, it won't make any basketball sense. Harden and Carmelo are ball dominating scorers so I don't see how they complement each other at all. If anything, one will have to change their game. Rockets would be better off going after a player like Luol Deng who would only cost $10M and would improve their defense and ball movement.
If the Knicks want ANYTHING for Melo, they have to make some kind of deal with the team he chooses. Boozer's expiring contract is a perfect fit. You do understand the Knicks are tanking next year, right? They are dead from the start, with or without Melo. 2015 is where they swing for the fences in free agency.
