    Chandler can. So instead of giving Melo the max Deng could be had for a more reasonable 4yrs 48 mil. That gives us money to match any contract Chandler might get or the flexibility to pull a sign and trade for Love

    If Melo to the Knicks is almost guaranteed then he needs to announce it so teams and other FAs aren't held hostage by his decision. What's the point of dragging this out if he supposedly already knows he's returning? Either the reports aren't as accurate as they try to make them seem or he's being a drama queen/diva and making everyone wait.

    Unless Phil can find the next Jordan or Kobe he will not win a ring.

    Melo doesn't look likely. Love would be great. Bosh would be nice. If not I'm ok with seeing who we can get as long as we don't' overpay.

    He doesn't play for rings. He plays for money, which is fine but don't come to my city and say all you care about is winning when you know that's crap. His decision is solely financial based.

    Well, Carmelo lied. Before, he said he want winning but he wants more money now instead of winning?

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson">@darrenwolfson</a> It has nothing to do with being a tough guy.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BeastMODE916">@BeastMODE916</a> No ****, sherlock. Re-read my original tweet.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson">@darrenwolfson</a> What evidence do you have that makes you so certain he will make a run at love? Phil is a smart guy he knows it is impossible</p>&mdash; Ambassador (@BeastMODE916) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeastMODE916/statuses/485457314359418881">July 5, 2014</a></blockquote>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BeastMODE916">@BeastMODE916</a> So, Phil doesn't call? Doesn't inquire? Evidence: I do this for a living.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson">@darrenwolfson</a> Making a call like he probably did 20 other FA completely differs from the way you put it. Why not replace love with lebron?</p>&mdash; Ambassador (@BeastMODE916) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeastMODE916/statuses/485458490735857665">July 5, 2014</a></blockquote>

Have a good weekend.</p>&mdash; Darren Wolfson (@DarrenWolfson) <a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson/statuses/485458853383786497">July 5, 2014</a></blockquote>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson">@DarrenWolfson</a> So in conclusion you have no evidence on your claim and you decide to mention love just for the hell of it. Great reporting.</p>&mdash; Ambassador (@BeastMODE916) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeastMODE916/statuses/485459411792453632">July 5, 2014</a></blockquote>

    Let's face reality: Carmelo only came to Houston for that food basket.

    I hope anthony joins the ROckets, man scoring will be so fun to watch. Harden should be open more often, Parsons, Bev too. Spread the floor for dwight, inside out game, tons of 3s. Hurry and join
