As Carmelo Anthony leans toward leaving New York, Chicago and Houston emerge as frontrunners

no...

that's just the first day FA's can sign

 

Id be willing to bet that his decision was made quite some time ago. No one should've legitimately expected for any news to be broken on a Saturday or Sunday. Things will likely begin to heat up on all fronts starting tomorrow AM.

It's a really big storm.

 

They really don't have ish to talk about so they're tweeting nonsense like this.

Wojo too. Smh

 

You know everybody is tired of waiting when the reporters don't know what they're reporting.

 

AMICKBOMB?

 

Just Ramona. Every 15 minutes she tweets something about everyone wants to play for the Lakers, everyone wants to play with Kobe, or something like that. Just like she did last year up until Dwight made his decision then her tweets turned "butt hurt" Dwights an Idiot posts for not choosing Lakers. Wonder if she attacks Melo if he picks someplace else?

 

Somebody sign anywhere !!..So I can move on with my life!!!!

So done with this

 

can you imagine having to go through more of this with Lebron AND bosh?

Unbelievable.

 

Ramona Shelbourne must be dying of her boring career

 

How the f*** does she have a career at ESPN? She is neither pretty or good at her job. Every other female there is hot and/or good at her job.

 

Jesus, who freaking cares who played a pickup game with who? These guys are all friends, they do this stuff all the time - it's not relevant.

This just tells me that there is zero actual news - the "reporters" have nothing to report.

Melo already knows where he is going, probably has for quite a while. This is all a show. The *only* reason I think he'd put off an announcement would be the possibility of playing with Lebron.

I freaking hate this crap, the whole damned league waiting on one dude to figure out what he's going to do.

 

This free agency is 5 trillion times more annoying than last free agency.

 

No one at ESPN is particular impressive except a few of the baseball guys (Keith Law) and I like the BBall presentation crews.

 

Cybrex is full of ShI!

You guys are ridiculous hanging on cybrex's every word. He is just a dumb Lakers fan who has been trolling this board for years. He is probably some teenage kid. He has preyed on the fact that our interests have been mutual on several players over the last couple years. Dwight the first time when Lakers got him in trade, Dwight round 2, and now Carmelo. He just gets little bits of info quicker than the mainstream media does because he lives in LA. That's it. Probably just follows all of the pertinent media sources and LA hacks on twitter. So when a report be it true or false like Carmelo and Kobe playing at UCLA playing together comes out, he hears it first and reports it before it hits the Nat'l media. The rest is just random bs that could be true or false. Not useful.
