I know it's no fault of Melo's, or any other player really, that a city gets hyped and acts like their team has already signed them, but I hope the Knicks suck ass next season. Like....catastrophically.
I guess Phil made a strong enough pitch and impression on Melo to, supposedly, keep him in NY, but I might be mad because I fell into the trap most sports fans do when reporters try to create click bait on Twitter or on ESPN. They "report" the "rumors" they hear and get everyone all drummed up about it, only for it to fall flat on its face and piss off fans of other teams. Maybe that's what their job is, I suppose.
I'm not really sure where the Bulls stand with Mirotic, but I hear he's not doing the Summer League and nothing is really final for this upcoming season with him. That he hasn't signed a contract and all that.
Time to be a Rose fan again and hope and pray that his knee has healed. Otherwise, I was thinking Melo could come in, take the reigns, and if Rose felt like half assing a return, we'd take whatever he could contribute. Now we need that nigga to be MVP form again and McDermott to shoot well as we slowly evaluate Mirotic.
What an off season, and no one has even signed yet.
I hope LBJ goes West. We really need the East to soften up some more. Almost to the point of not being competitive at all.
