Melo has the talent to win a championship and is coming up on 30 years old. What is the best move for him to make to get a ring?

Can he trust Rose's health though? Is it a risk worth taking?
When it comes to the NBA, only sure things pan out. Why not Houston? I think they can make moves to get him. -
Houston RocketsMiami
Does Miami even need him right now? They know how to manage Wade and Bosh is steady.
That doesn't look plausible right now. -
Houston RocketsI don't like melo on bulls....with rose injuries melo will be the only one doing the scoring which will put a lot of pressure on him
Also thibs doesn't rest his players....don't forget noah is injury prone as well...
Melo....harden....howard......I am feeling this trio to be dominant in the west if it happens -

Sigh. How fuking long do i have to rant and rave about the Bulls. Thats NOT ENOUGH!!!
So a OKC squad with Durant (better than Melo) and RW (healthier than Rose) cant get over the ? , but that team will!?!? Taj Gibson as your starting pf?...Jimmy Butler? smh Yall so stubborn.
People have mentioned with the new cap, Miami could structire it so they "add Melo". Well ? forget Melo, if they can afford Melo, how bout they get someone like Pao gasol, luol deng, etc. Their not gonna stand pat, they're gonna get better, while Chicago even with Melo is just a pinch above a lateral move from where they were 2 years ago. So if yall still think the Bulls are the threat to Miami you're delusional. -
Chicago BullsIf he want a chip I would say Chicago.

Chicago Bulls
Why you ranting and raving about other people's opinions in the first place.
The Bulls with Melo would have the easiest path to the finals with only Miami in the way. Too many teams to deal with in the West. Bulls without a legit scoring threat still managed to get 48 wins and the core would still be intact for a deep playoff run -

You don't need a team wit all stars at every position.2 scorers with solid rebounding and elite defense is a championship recipe.
Then you're comparing the bulls motion offense(consistent movement,back door cuts/screens,drive and kick) to that wacc ass okc offense where they just jack jumpers and rotate isos between russ and the servant all game.Bulls were top 10 in team assists despite not having their pg.Bulls need a scorer/scoring -

Chicago BullsHe should go to Chicago.

New York KnicksChicago, The coaching staff don't SEE eye to eye with management, and Thibs most likely will be gone in a year or two. Going to chicago, makes no sense.
Houston problem is defense. Attaining a defensive specialist or two, is more logical for the championship aspirations of the Houston Rockets.
I believe Carmelo is over the super team collaborations. What happened in Miami was pure luck. Bosh was a star humble enough to adjust his game. And DWade injuries knocked him down a few pegs, and he became a 2nd option at best. Which allowed, for the cohesion we now see In The Heats Team.
The Knicks are heading in the right direction. They have new management On board, whose brand is synonymous with success. Melo jumping ship will be the beginning of the end for him.
In my opinion, Carmelo understands, if he brings a ring to NYC . It would be more significant then winning multiple else where. Carmelo understands his legacy.
We have a decent Roster, with a solid system, that could definitely make noise in the Leauge.

Smh Nggas learn nothing. So when Miami wins its 3rd title in a row NOT using that model will you then be willing to change, or?? B/c they have 3 "scorers" (which is dumb wording anyway b/c they are much more than "scorers", perhaps what u mean is "stars"), they have terrible rebounding, but a gang of 3pt shooters...or if SA wins it'll be due to 3 "scorers" and a gang of shooters...when Dallas won it was due to a gang of shooters.
The defense of course will always be SOMEWHAT of a constant, but not as impt as you think. Chicago is working on an antiquated model, and despite the success of the teams who've flourished in recent years, yall STILL havent learned. smh
So even SA and 1 of the best coaches of all time in Popovich has changed his model---from "2/3 scorers and defense" to all out scoring and the 3 ball---but the Bulls are good enough to not have to? smh -
OtherMIAMI or Lakers...
Chicago... Rose hasnt provend he can stay healthy
Houston... Harden & Howard haven't proven they are capable of winning ? ... that team should have at least gotten out of the 1st round, those dudes don't have the will to win... Melo and Harden can't co-exist, especially now that Harden avg's 25PPG
MIA Melo would be comfy playing 2nd fiddle to Bron knowing that Wade will retire in the next 2 yrs
Lakers.. Lakers ALWAYS reload and are in contention for a chip (Won chips in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's & 10) -
The Lakers did not win a chip in the 90's
Detroit 1990
Chicago 91-93
Houston 94-95
Chicago 96-98
Spurs 99 -
@S2J bruh u making no sense

Houston Rockets@S2J bruh u making no sense
Im making perfect sense. Perhaps you cant grasp it. Championship ball is being played 1 way, the Bulls r playing a completely different way.
I spelled it all out, yet your rebuttal is 'u make no sense'. You clearly have no input on the matter. -

GTFOH
These guys been each others rivals, since The public school era, as teenagers.
Carmelo always show up to face Lebron.
He's never, and I mean never, are going to sign up, and play with Lebron. not to mention hes always been overshadowed by lebron.

You sound like an idiot bruh.Miami is the EXCEPTION to the rule and if u take lebron off that team they'd get sonned he is the reason miami is elite and he's one of the greatest ever.Everybody can't and won't use that miami model.Look at the last 5 champs lakers 2 stars,role players,solid defense,spurs 3 stars,role players,solid defense,Mavs 1 star,several role players solid defense,heat 1 star (and a star by name but shaq was damn near washed) several role players iiight defense,pistons no stars Elite defense and role players.So now everybody needs to follow miamis way? Foh ? -
Houston RocketsCosign, I'd have to see it to believe it.
