Lebron and Melo Opt Out
Lebron and Melo have opt out of their contracts. Will they resign with their respected teams? Will they join forces to try and rid the NBA of all evil?

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
This whole shit is crazy. I can only imagine what the Cavs are thinking. Embiid is hurt, Lebron is available. I feel like this might mess up the entire draft if Cleveland decides they rather take a shot at Lebron or Melo rather than Parker or Wiggins

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
This is the one thing about the NBA I hate. In the MLB and NFL you don't see crazy conspiracy things about who goes where in FA.
NFL - "he made a visit to a couple teams" ---> signed with one of the teams
MLB - "Looks like (team) is looking for (position)" ----> team gets that position
NBA - "OMZG HOW NASTY DAT LINE UP BE DOE?!?!?!?" ----> nothing happens to make that line up a reality

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
I hate how in the NBA theres this theory of the big market teams (LA, Miami, NY, Houston, Dallas, Chi, etc) half of which who have fell off the map. But why do players want to go to places like that so bad. This isn't 1995 and those aren't the only teams being shown on TV.
Why wouldn't Carmelo be interested in going to a team for example, like the Charlotte Hornets. It makes all the sense in the world. Young star point guard in Kemba. Dominate force in the paint in Big Al. You have MKG who is one of the best young defenders in the league. They just drafted Vonleh (apparently Lamarcus Aldrige 2.0) and a sniper in PJ Hairston. A player like Melo is the missing piece to the puzzle. Someone who can consistently get buckets on a daily basis.
Even with Kemba and Al in place he would immediately be the face of a young, renewed franchise. Which is something I think a Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James would want. As soon as that signing is announced that Hornets jerseys with that Anthony 7 on the back would be a top selling jersey.
Why would he want to go to Houston where he would just be another face with Harden, a scorer and Dwight in place. I feel like those 3 egos wouldn't work. I can see him in Chicago with Rose and Noah. Thats a nice fit. But Rose is dead why would he trust that. Going to LA? The Lakers are my team. But why, nothing is there lol. Join Lebron in Miami. For what reason, shouldn't you be trying to be better than Lebron, isn't that like your rival???
If that happened Charlotte would catapult into being a 3rd or 4th seed in the East, maybe even second. Whatever just thinking.

Look at all the GMs, teams, and areas. I'd still take 8-9 teams over Charlotte

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
I mean yea if they were in the West they probably wouldn't make the playoffs lol but thats not the case. In the East there really isn't a team with more potential than them. I think Melo would be the oldest player on the team if he went there.EPICxPENGUIN69 wrote:S wrote:well yeah the early years weren't that great, obviously but you have to admit he and the rest of the staff have gotten wayyy better.EPICxPENGUIN69 wrote:because MJ runs charolette and he hasn't had that good of a track record as HBIC

BTW, the whole name changes with the Hornets, bobcats, pelicans has thrown me off. I hear hornets, I think new orleans, I hear pelicans and I'm like, "who?"
NBA has some awful maskots/teamnames

nah, I think lebron and all them sign back into miami.
I am getting sick of this analyzing everything Lebron does. "oh my god, lebron tweeted he was drinking coffee during his meeting...this means.." type of bullshit. He ain't THAT smart. Not every single thing he does is for this secrete meaning. This isn't spy v spy with codes and shit everywhere, the bitch is a basketball player

I just feel like they aren't all on the same page. You have 3 stars coming off 4 straight title appearances. Lebron wants and deserves a max deal. He's never even been the highest payed player on any of the teams that he's played for. If Lebron gets a max deal with Miami, Wade and Bosh have to take huuuge pay cuts, like 12? mil a year or somethin. They think that they're better than that.
Can't see all of them returning to Miami. Maybe Bron returns. Not wade and bosh tho. If that happens theres no point in Lebron going back there. No one is there besides Norris Cole and Shabazz Napier who just went like 3-16 in his first summer league game.
Honestly, I didn't think it, but returning to Cleveland makes hella lot of sense.

This shit is crazy. Everyone in Ohio must be going nuts. I think Browns might have died. I'm waiting for the background of the site to become a giant Lebron face or something

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
I kinda like it. I stopped irrationally hating the man a while ago. He made his return and it was much classier this time around. I commend him for that and I also really liked Bill Simmons Grantland article about this decision. I found it to be surprisingly poetic

Naw he didn't. And he has a young yet talented squad with a lot of potential in Cleveland. Kyrie. Wiggins. They're trying to get K. Love. Its practically like Miami all over again, EXCEPT I actually really like Kyrie Wiggins and Love so I wont hate them like I did Miami lol

Re: Lebron and Melo Opt Out
So Parsons is a Maverick after Houston decided not to match the offer. Now the Rockets want Rajon Rondo. What's wrong with them?

it's the rockets. dey crazy. some teams are just crazy. Dr. Bus dies, Lakers become crazy. Minnesota is crazy to hang on to Love, he ain't staying. Miami is crazy to give bosh 23 mill a year and what ever the fuck they give Wade. Pacers are crazy for offering Stephenson 5 years, 46 mill.
