Again...This would all be true if the Bulls were depending on Melo to leave money on the table through a straight up signing....He would indeed be giving up MAJOR bank....

But Melo would have gotten his max money via S&T...And Feel would have been forced to make that trade given that he is after picks and more salary structure freedom...

It really comes down to Melo taking the easy way out and wanting to keep Lala and the fam happy...

As for Rose's knee? Melo with Rose at 75 percent would be in the Eastern Conference Finals...The Bulls won damn near 50 games with a rag-tag team with their best player being Noah...lol...With Melo they would instantly become Title Contenders even with Rose on the bench...Especially with the shooters we added.

As is, Bulls fans/brass have moved on weeks ago given we made the move to sign Niko. We should now turn our attention to Love/Lance...
