Carmelo expected to make decision by the end of the weekend. Check this out though: "A conversation that Carmelo Anthony had been pursuing in recent days, sources tell Yahoo: With Pau Gasol, about playing together w/ Knicks."
Yup. "Dirk always likely to be first major free agent to decide. Sources say sides agreed today to three-year pact believed to be in $30M ballpark"
Feel bad for Dirk. 2012 they took off so they could get Deron the next offseason. Deron doesnt show up (good thing though), and the Mavs have landed anyone because no one wants to team up with Dirk who is older.
Another guy off Miami's list. "Clippers have become the front-runner to land Lakers free agent point guard Jordan Farmar, but nothing agreed to as of yet, sources said."

Carmelo isnt going anywhere, especially if he is recruiting Gasol. Houstons a pipe dream until they trade Lin, the Bulls is an option but Rose's health is the difference and its a major gamble. As for Lebron things are falling apart in Miami, Florida. Clearly.
Knicks have offered Melo a $129 Million contract, the Lakers have offered him a $97 million max contract.
Who the fuck is Riley gonna sign that would make LeBron stay? I can't think of one player, that is plausible.
Is it technically possible for Lebron and Melo to play for the Knicks if somehow Stat and Bargnani are shipped out?
No one, there is no solution, nothing. And if he signs Wade and Bosh, then they cant get anyone next season. Lebrons leaving Miami whether it is this season or next.
Yeah but Amare opted back in (no one said a word, shoulda put pressure on him). If they can trade Amare they could get him.
No chance unless LeBron takes a massive pay cut. Makes me wish like all hell that this was all occurring next offseason when we have money.
Pau Gasol meeting with Spoelstra and Riley in LA. would need to take a MASSIVE pay cut to play for Miami. Carmelo has also reached out to Gasol to discuss playing together with the Knicks.
I knew I should have bought a Lebron Cavaliers Jersey when he left. They had Authentics for like $40, damn if he goes back there that would have been a good investment.
