    At least he's being honest this time around. I'll give him that. But he should know that the strongest way to build one's "brand", is to win championships. But good luck with that, with that garbage squad, brosef.....

    To be fair, I don't think the reason for you taking grenades was ever about you being right/wrong, but more so just the way you were blowing up on him personally for not choosing to move to Chicago.

      That quote still makes me cringe lol
      Big game is from the old school...he wasn't lying either.

      “I told Carmelo, I said, I wish your wife were here because she’s more popular than you in Los Angeles. We’re trying to recruit her, because if you can get LaLa, Carmelo has no say,” . “So, we’re trying to get her to Hollywood. Hollywood is right here. She can do whatever she wants”
      That said, I would've gotten up and walked out right after he said that

          He could have stuck to what he's been saying. But then I guess that doesn't matter, because this about the third or fourth different reason he's given since signing.

            Maybe because every player takes into account a bunch of different things when they decide where to play?

            Again, he's at an event where the whole purpose of him being there is to talk about and promote his business.

              I may be misunderstanding what you're saying here, but Melo's allowed to have 3-4 different reasons for signing lol. He can enjoy New York City, like that he can keep Lala happy, and enjoy the dump trucks filled with cash too.

                What Melo said is nothing we didn't already know at this point. Well, for one of y'all at least, lol.

                  See my thing is that would make more sense if he said all these things at once instead of every interview or statement being a new reason. When he first decided it was his heart never wavering, he wants to win in New York. Then it was a tough decision and he was really close and so on. Now it's about his business, blah blah. Grand scheme of things, I don't care. It's over and done with, his decision and we knew how things were going to go and what he was about. My team is what it is and I'm feeling pretty good about it. It's just funny hearing him talking about it really.

                    Yeah, it's fair that he probably should have brought it all up in one interview. But, he probably doesn't want to drone on. I just don't listen to interviews from athletes anymore. They're 99% meaningless.

                        That would mean OKC, Memphis, or New Orleans moves to the East?

                          New Orleans replacing Atlanta in the southeastern division would make the most sense imo

                            I highly doubt the league wants Atlanta without a team though.

                                The post of the thread... gets repeated often but ignored way too much.
