    About 4 hours.

    Melo, will likely fly though. 1 hour flight.

    What reports are those -- Alex Kennedy's random supposition or Mitch Lawrence's wild theories?

    Haven't seen anyone of substance say that Carmelo is willing to play for around $15 million/year, which is where Chicago's offer is likely to come in. And with LeBron supposedly demanding the max, I would say that makes the odds even longer that Carmelo takes an offer like that.

    You're reaching. These meetings typically take about 2 or 3 hours, max. If two cities are separated by only a 45-minute plane flight, there's no reason not to kill two birds with one stone before going back to his home and thinking things over.

    as of now knicks are the only team going into the meeting with the contract money now, rockets and bulls still have to make moves just to get into the 4yr $70-74mill range.

    Knicks - 5yr $130mill
    Rockets - 4yr $74mill
    Bullls - 4yr $72mill

    its going to be very interesting, bulls and rockets will have to make moves this week to let his agent know they are serious.

    If anything he seems NY bound. He never wanted to leave NY and only needed an excuse to stay and Phil Jackson is going to give him that excuse. Melo's son and wife don't want to leave NY either.

    It very well could be Houston and Chicago come up empty.

    I don't know why, but it looks like he is. I guess if Melo wants to waste the last few years of his prime on a team with a broken-down 20 million dollar bench warmer he can, but I definitely don't think it's the right decision.

    So we can take any prior Doc Rocket tweet and twist it to fit any situation for our agenda? Interesting.
