@TheOnlyCSmith0: Purple and Gold doesn't sound so bad either #LA

Melo & Chris Smith teaming up with Kobe? 8o
 
I think this is all BS. Just for attention and views. All week it was known that LA didn't have to move or trade anyone and would offer the max. Two days later, after the max is offered, it's a big deal on a slow day that the Lakers don't have to move any players :lol

Carmelo was offered the 129 but Carmelo has a problem with Phil asking him to take less?

Chicago has basically moved on and is working on other things but the article says Chicago is still ahead of LA.





Article is bogus fellas.
 
I thought it was just Bill Simmons trolling Laker fans (it was) but it was also Woj looking to make a splash while he has a chance because Melo is set to choose any day now. So yeah.
 
I think yall are believing the words of yahoo journalists and the like too much to create this narrative.

If you list all of the rumors and alleged things said by every side there's too many contradictions.
 
Why in the hell are any of you following Chris Smith or reading his twitter. I'm sure Earl doesn't even read his twitter and they're blood. Chris Smith just wants attention.
 
I hope that article is wrong. Not a fan of the lakers giving him a max deal. If I was a Knicks fan id be wary of giving him that type of deal also.
 
:rollin ignore the speculation fellas. Only a few more days until he announces it.



That beefaroni comment though :rollin

Not for nothing but it looks funny in the light if you guys choose not to take Woj's word on NBA related matters NOW since it might be inconvenient for this team.

He's a hell of a lot more credible than the ******* New York Post.

The fact that Woj backed up Simmons original tweet (and others have followed) means someone out there is saying it. In terms of how legit it actually is though? Who knows. Could be a smokescreen from Melo's camp.

What I care about is getting something for him in a S&T if he decides to go. Phil's history aside, LA is worst case scenario because they don't need to give up anything to sign him outright.
 
I haven't taken anybody's word on anything from the start. Good or bad.

It's just been stuff to laugh at like that whole theory of Phil making Melo look good and Melo secretly recruiting for the Knicks the entire time.

When it comes to the negative stuff or positive especially when it attempts to quote somebody I say **** all that getting word through sources bull ****. I've seen too many ppl get caught up with that off the papers and it's worse now online. Melo hasn't said much and neither has Phil. This **** has been the epitome of putting words in to a person's mouth to generate hype and clicks for a non story to keep the narrative going until things are final. Not to mention not every person can't be right witht here contradicting rumors.

To focus on this latest one it literally doesn't make sense anyway. The only thing holding Melo up is Phil originally wanted him to take less? So the **** what he's allegedly offering you the max now. It's that fickle nonsensical rumor mongering like this that gets yall in to a frenzy and yall bash Melo or whoever for a few pgs.

July 10th is 5 days away.

it's not worth discussing if the sources are real or not. the thing that matters is that sources uses these "journalists" for their own benefit. So it could be leverage or whateverrrrr.

all i truly know is that NBA players are divas and the NBA is WWF Status.
 
I would love, LOVE to see Melo leave the Knicks for the Lakers and play with a 37 year old Kobe and having shoot outs every night while that team continue to fall deeper and deeper into no-mans land.

I dare you Melo :lol

I triple dog it!!
