Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1081510, member: 1674"] I'm not disagreeing that Chicago would be the best team he's played with. But that doesn't mean that they're the best team in the league. There's no reason for Melo to take half the money he could get in New York to be in the mix for the top 3 teams in the East. If you're taking half the money, you better be going to a team that you know would be the best in the league, which would only be the case if he went to a Heat team that had LeBron. And I would absolutely be petrified of going to Chicago to rely on Rose's knee after he pretty much hasn't played for 2 years now. Noah is a good player, but a team of Kirk Hinrich (just an example of the type of PG they'd likely have if Rose goes down yet again), Jimmy Butler, Melo, Gibson (if he's still with the team), and Joakim Noah is not going to be a favorite to come out of East. He'd be relying way too much on a guy that's played 49 games over the past 3 years combined. [/QUOTE]
