    Not every pro athlete who says they want to win really wants to win as much as they want us to believe.

    people have learned NOTHING from last year. When you are an aging superstar and haven't a ring yet....The limelight and popular city because less and less important. No one though Dwight would leave the bright lights of LA either. One reason...when you're a young, rich and famous superstar...it doesn't matter WHERE you reside. The money finds the talent...see Kevin Durant. With that being said, this isn't 1998 anymore...Houston has become on of those trendy cities rappers rep all the time.

    is that a move done to facilitate another signing (Gasol) or is that done for Melo?

    But there was one thing against LA and that was Kobe. Would he still be there if Kobe wasn't there or at least not a douche? Possibly, but we'll never know.

    I thought the only way for Melo to get any decent close to max money was to sign and trade Boozer to NY?

    Someone correct me but maybe the Bulls have given up and are just focusing on Gasol, etc?

    Sucks our Lowry chances are gone. If we don't get Love, our OffSeason would get two thumbs down

    This gives me hope. Sounds like 2010 when LeBron was locked into going to NY or staying Cle.
