Carmelo Anthony Opts Out

[GOODFELLAS]

Where will he end up?

 

[RAIDEN]

My guess is Chicago, Miami or LA.

 

[GOODFELLAS]

The health of Rose is a big question.

Looks like LeBron just opted out too...wow. im guessing LeBron opted out to restructure contract to bring other players to Miami and create cap space. Gonna be a interesting summer.

Melo = back in New York
Lebron = Cleveland

^ Lol.. There's a much higher chance of Melo leaving NY then LeBron going back to Cleveland.. Melo said he wants to win a ring or at least play for contenders, NY is in no way a contender or will be a contender by next season or the next few seasons, n I doubt Melo wants to play with the Lakers unless they have some good players around him
He goes to Bulls or Houston or Miami but thats just retarded.. East will have one team stacked, and rest will all be below .500 lol

 

[Go Away]

Melo will stay in NY. Phil will do something big this offseason to keep him around for a few more years... Hopefully.

 

[GOODFELLAS]

Melo is gone NY is years away from being good.

 

[RAIDEN]

Only way Melo stays in NY is if they sign big names and Phil Jackson comes to the bench, which i doubt.

I doubt Lebron is leaving Miami. They will compete to go for a 5th straight Finals appearance. Bosh and Wade will restructure their contracts to bring in Carmello..

 

[GOODFELLAS]

He already left one team he could do it again.

Quite frankly, Melo is a good individual player, but San Antonio (and OK city) are showing that the next decade belongs to team basketball. Melo does not make the players around him better. Lebron does.

Melo to Miami is plain silly, but hey, why not? The great players would never have gone for that... they wanted to beat the best of the best (i.e., compete), not just compile stats. Does anyone honestly believe that Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and MJ would have worked something out to play together on a team to get a ring? No way... they wanted to get a ring by beating the best, not co-opting the best.

Lebron would do well at Chicago or in Cleveland. Everywhere he goes, they'll be competitive for a championship. I love MJ, but Lebron may be better in terms of all the different tools and how he dominates the floor.
