    I actually am intrigued by the Melo to Chicago rumor that came out today. For one, he would have to split the shots with another chucker in Derrick Rose (if he's ever healthy). Chicago plays such good defense under Thibodeau that they could be a team that can live with Carmello playing his style of game and still win ugly in the playoffs.

    C- Noah
    PF- Gibson (I'm assuming Boozer would have to go for Melo to come)
    SF- Melo
    SG- Butler
    PG- Rose

    Bench- Dunleavy, Hinrich, maybe Jimmer, and a veteran big. They also have a dude from Spain that they drafted 3 years ago who is going to be good.

    That's a dangerous team.

    That's a dang good team. Gives the East three legitimate contenders (assuming James stays with Race's Heat).

    Reaching out to Phil Jackson to try and get him to coach.

    Phil will probably hit some peyote, laugh, then tell the Knicks to DIAFF.

    If I'm melo and watching that game I'm signing with the bulls first thing this offseason. They are one scorer away cause they can flat out defend and thibadeau can flat out coach. To win a championship they probably need rose marginally healthy

    Can Melo play for a winner? Is Melo capable of playing in a team first system where he can't gun for stats?

    I truly don't know if he can. I would like to see that as a fan of the NBA.

    If melo can't succeed in Chicago he will never succeed anywhere. As a basketball fan I too want to see it happen, the east needs a third good team

    I think the Bulls are the rare team that Melo could win and win big with. Nobody really needs the ball except for Rose. The rest of the players are tough, defensive minded guys. The Bulls can still win with Melo going 8-22. The Knicks and their porous defense need Melo to go off every game in order to have a chance.

    Even without Melo, if Rose can never get it back, they won't ever get past the second round. Rose is another guy who I thought was slightly overrated, even when he was healthy.

    As soon as Melo realizes that he's most efficient playing off the ball, his success will go way up.
