Now on a 10 game losing streak. Fischer came out to say that Carmelo may sit the rest of the season because of soreness he's had since game 2.

This is why it was smart for him to take the money and run. He is on the back nine of his career. The best thing that ever happened to the Bulls was that he signed with the Knicks. He only has about 2 more yrs of being able to play at an elite level.

Everyone that wanted Marshmelo was wrong. The Bulls were lucky he said no. Not only is Gasol better than him but he may only cost the Bulls $15M over the next 2 years.

You don't need to keep shitting on yourself. We all know the deal. At least we're all on the same end of the rope now.

Even the best get one wrong every now and then. If you recall both of us didn't want Marshmelo but I allowed myself to be suckered into believing that he could be the missing piece. I was right before I was wrong.

Nas you have now officially become a member of the Jesse White tumbling team for your epic flip flop on Gasol. At least you get credit for knowing when to cut your losses. By the way what's your current thoughts on Lance "the guy with star potential" Stephenson?

He still has time. This may be the wakeup call he needs. On the other hand the Hornets would be stupid to trade him to the Nets for Joe Johnson. Especially considering they would have to give up Henderson and other assets.

If he is going to show anything now is the time because Kemba Walker is out. I don't he and Walker can play together. They both need the ball and on that team I think the coach has hitched his wagon to Walker. He must have because he recently called him his best player. I'm not a fan of Stephenson but I will agree that the Hornets were not the best fit. Jefferson and Walker are black holes and Stephenson is not much of an outside shooter. His three point shooting percentage this yr. is much worse than the much maligned Josh Smith

Betting on himself really makes a lot of sense now doesn't it? The guy has have season ending surgery. It made absolutely no sense to take the two yr out that you advocated. Absolutely no sense

Huh? He's a fortune teller now? Maybe LeBron is too. How do you know that he would have gotten injured in Chicago?

Actually the only person fortune telling was you. You assumed wrongly that he would be able to get more money in two yrs. The only contract that the guy should have been concerned with is the one this yr.

_________________

So you are the fortune teller? You're saying there is no way he could have played well in Chicago or stayed healthy. When will I die?

Don't know when. The type of gamble that you were referencing is not the type of gamble that most athletes are willing to take. It was no guarantee that the money would be there in two yrs. There was a likelihood that a, guy with that type of mileage would get injured. He has and if it happened while he was on the Bulls he would looked like an idiot for not taking guaranteed money. Your premise was wrong as is most things that you spew. I always know when my points are valid because the usual group of dissenters are noticeably silent.

_________________

LeBron James has way more mileage and took the gamble. Marshmelo didn't gamble on himself when LeBron and Wade and Bosh had an opt out put into their contracts when they were like 23. Marshmelo said he regretted not doing it but when LeBron and even Gasol bet on themselves he took the upfront money and losing.

I know you like the Homer game but don't be a fool. What you are asking and expecting the guy to do would have been stupid especially in lieu of recent developments. You were asking him to leave 80 million guaranteed out there in the hope that he could get it back in two yrs. In the hope that he may possibly make more money. You take the upfront money and move on. Did Kobe Bryant just take a pay cut so that the Lakers could be better no he took a contract that he knew would hamstring the Lakers. He took the money and ran. You try and spin everything but the more you do it the dumber it sounds. The guy just suffered a severe injury. That alone invalidates the silly proposal that you had been bouncing around.

_________________

How does Lebron have way more mileage they came into the league the same yr.

_________________

The best player in the NBA took a 2 year deal with an opt out so he can get paid way more in 2016. He has more mileage. Marshmelo said he wanted to win but didn't want to gamble on himself. His injury doesn't mean anything. There was no guarantee that he would have gotten injured in Chicago.

Pau Gasol took a similar deal and he a lot older and has many more playoff miles.

LeBron actually wins in the playoffs and he just went to the Finals 4 years in a row.

Carmelo Anthony has been in the playoffs nearly every yr except the last two. Lebron missed the playoffs first yr or two of his career. He has more minutes on him but that doesn't constitute way more mileage. Teaching you about sports is a real slow burn. The learning curve is far too steep.

It sounds stupid to keep arguing this point. It's no guarantee that he wouldn't either that's why you take the upfront money and move on. Lebron James really is not taking much risk. His situation is not the same. Cleveland will pay him the money alas the Lakers and Kobe whether he is worth it or not. Carmelo Anthony would not have that luxury with the Bulls. The guy was just injured which I told you could happen months ago. I told you that's why you don't take the chance. It was very likely that this would be his last big contract and it will be. Lebron also used that two yr thing as a way of holding Cleveland management hostage. You rarely mention that or maybe you're too slow to even notice. He routinely throws his teammates under the bus something Anthony has never really done at least not publicly. The guy suited up and played with an injury that should have sidelined him months ago. He will never win a championship but obviously for him it's not the end of the world if he doesn't. The TV analyst types agree with me. The only guys dissenting are Bulls Homer types.

And you wonder why I reference Bernstein as a complement to your basketball or lack of basketball knowledge. This is the sort of Lebron the conquering hero crap that you often here from he and Goff. In this one paragraph there were two falsehoods. 1. No way Lebron gets the Knicks anywhere but the lottery. 2. Pau Gasol was in the All Star game which means he is a top 30 player. You just can't seem to get much right. It might be time for you to go back to the lab without a Mike to grab.
