    The Dallas homers were tweeting a lot when the meeting was thought to be done early. Now, for the most part, are radio silent.

    I do too, but honestly it would be unprofessional and is unlikely to happen. He's committed to a meeting and the team has spent money I'm sure to do it. Cuban would probably be unhappy with the agent if they just don't go through with it at this point.

    Regardless of whether he's picked a team I think he'll go through each meeting he committed to. Heck, 4 hours ago the board was convinced he was signing with Chicago now people think he should skip Dallas because he's signing here.

    Why are not for Melo? Lebron James is not going to come here, Melo is the best option for us. Then we can go Lowry if we can get him or not. There is nothing than better getting Melo and Lowry at the same time. They are my first and second options from the beginning, I do not waste any time to talk James or Bosh, and whoever on the board.

    Yea. Where are they now! Cuban has no shot, it's us and Chicago. And Chicago wants to give him 15M and state tax??? It's a clear choice.

    Makes no sense....as it stands now, even without Asik, Rockets cannot get Melo without first trading Lin.

    But somehow snt lin for lowry, and then sign Melo? When Lowry will have a higher cap # than Lin?

    4 Hours for our recruiting crew is more than enough. Would rather take our chances with our 4 hours versus Chicago's 8 hours.

    In a S&T you can go 150% of the contract number. That is a factor.

    Does anyone know what is the most active Chicago Bulls message board? I'd like to get a perspective from the other side.

    I'm sure you are capable, but that's where it gets you. You can post trade ideas without doing the numbers, whereas when Bima does it, you know he did the numbers, and he's serious.

    After 3PM, it is very difficult for anyone to get out of the H town without spending two or three hrs to just move for a few miles. Maybe he is going to be Dallas in 8PM, Cuban gets very upset to refuse to talk him anymore, then it is not the Melo fault for the traffic jam in the H town.
