Lakers Offer $97M Max Contract To Carmelo Anthony

[AzStevenCal]

I'm not understanding this article....http://www.prosportsdaily.com/Headlines/ExternalArticle?articleId=312080

I'm too lazy to read the article but this has been hinted at from the beginning. Melo would like to play with Lebron. If Bosh takes the Houston deal there would then be max money for Anthony to join Lebron in Miami if Lebron re-signs there. There's also been some LA talk for the two but I've not paid that much attention. I put it up there with the idea that Lebron, Love and Gasol end up in Phoenix this season. Can't see it happening.

Carmelo Anthony hadn't been a part of any scenario about joining James in Miami, sources tell Yahoo. @FisolaNYDN reports he's staying in NY

Bummer

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 10m Within Anthony's circle, belief's been this, sources tell Y: Get NY's $129M now, figure out destination later. You can always get a trade

I guess it is all about the money.

3:36pm: Agent Leon Rose tells Ramona Shelburne of ESPNLosAngeles.com that Anthony has not made a decision yet between the Knicks and Lakers (Twitter link). The wording of Shelburne’s tweet seems to suggest those are the only two teams still in consideration, but that remains unclear.

I like how the Laker homer is implying that it is only the Lakers and Knicks.

Would there be enough basketballs in LA between Kobe and Melo?

Would there be enough basketballs in LA between Kobe and Melo?

Sure, since there only about 3 others on the team.

Jeez....

Phil said he has texted Carmelo a few times in the last week and he hasn't heard back from him. ..... Now Phil knows how the media feels

‘Melo is sitting at home with his wife and family and talking about the Chicago Bulls.’ This is what they told me.

Carmelo Anthony has narrowed his choices to the Knicks and Bulls, a source close to the star forward tells Bleacher Report’s Jared Zwerling (Twitter link). Presumably that means the Lakers are out of the hunt, though it seems Anthony, who was reportedly expected to re-sign with the Knicks as of two days ago, is a ways off from a decision. He isn’t going to make his call today, a source tells Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link).

http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2014/07/anthony-deciding-between.html

I heard that Coach Thibs reach out again to him and that swayed it to focus on NY and Chicago. I alos think Melo waited to see it LeBron only took a one year deal from Miami with hopes Phil would rework the roster to go after LeBron next season. With that not that being an option, I think Chicago is in the lead 51% to 49% to get him.

In regards to a decision for Knicks free agent forward Carmelo Anthony, a source said: "It's coming... Not today."
