Jazz Rank 20th In Destination For Free Agents

There are a number of reasons why Melo isn't getting a look lately:
1. his wife La La is a known diva. No organization wants to deal with her.
2. there's a strong hint of racism here with Carmelo not being signed. Kevin Love goes anywhere he wants but Carmelo can't? You tell me what's behind that.
3. team's don't want to disappoint Melo's high standards. The guy has won both an NCAA championship and gold in the Olympics. Teams know they can't live up to Melo's high standards and goals.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. A team like Houston that needs all the offensive options they can get to help James Harden and whose best friend in the league Chris Paul happens to play there wouldn't give him minutes. It's been crickets for Melo ever since.

Uhh, clearly you have not heard of Jason Kidd. Uhh, the guy had two stints with Dallas.

Okay, fair enough, though Jason Kidd was 36 when he signed back in Dallas. It was the end of his career. Kind of like the Jazz signing Joe Johnson.

Dallas also signed Lamar Odom at the end of Odom's career too.

I agree it is an incredibly difficult place to play. The darn place recently ate up and spit out Odell Beckham, for God's sake. And, yes, the Knick organization is a lunatic asylum with the patients running the place.

But things are different this coming off season. We have room for TWO max free agents and we are guaranteed a top draft pick. Put on the Duke/UCF game right now. We literally have the pick of the litter. Any guy out there we can have. Even that nine foot monster on UCF. Free agents definitely would come here due to our current advantageous situation.
 
The Knicks have had a high lottery pick for as long as I can remember. NY's odds of getting Zion Williamson are what--1 out of 5, or 1 out of 6? The only other franchise-changing player in this draft is Morant, and that's not a given. He needs talent around him.

If NY can sign KD and/or Kyrie, then that's a coup, but even that doesn't put NY ahead of Milwaukee or Philadelphia.

Uhh, next year when we field Durant, Kyrie, Zion, Mitchell Robinson, and Dennis Smith Jr, the poets and songwriters will be writing glorious odes to that team for the next two thousand years.
 
The forum isn’t under any legal code with regard to conduct. I do not understand for the life of me why idiots like this haven’t yet been banned.

I invite punishment for this post as this is somehow more against the rules than everything this ******** says.

If teams were allowed to sign players for end of season runs like they do in baseball, I guarantee you the Jazz would take Melo in an instant. The guy won an NCAA championship and Olympic championship. Only a very small handful of human beings have done that. Even LeBron couldn't pull off that incredible feat.

LeBron never had the opportunity ... remember he went to the NBA straight from high school.

What's your problem, kid?
I post about a story that places the Jazz 20th for free agents...and you want me banned.
I post my defense of Melo...and you want me banned.

Seems like all you want is: Jazz are great, Gobert is a monster, who needs Gordon Hayward,...blah, blah, blah.
It's a big world, kid. Grow up and deal with the fact that not everybody thinks exactly like you.
