Don't be so sure. Mitch Lawrence NBA columnist for the New York Daily News thinks this opt out is just Carmelo and his agent putting pressure on Dolan/Jackson in order to get one last max contract. He claims Carmelo is ONLY about the money, not titles.

Now, consider the source...yes. But what if he's not wrong?

I posted that before that NYDN report came out, but you're right. I guess we'll find out. Though, if Melo goes back to New York, then he clearly isn't "all about winning" like he claims he is. New York is at least 2-3 years away from any sort of contention even with Melo, and that's just assuming Phil Jackson makes all the right moves.

This is all much ado about nothing. I doubt Love gets traded this week, if at all this summer.

could easily see BOS facilitate the Love trade...they could move Rondo for picks/assets..

I would stay FAR AWAY from Rondo if I were the Rockets though...just too risky with the ACL tear + lack of shooting + need to have the ball to be fully effective...

Bulls and Celtics have the best offer for love, fortunately for gsw fans and maybe hou fans, flip Saunders is Kahn 2.0.

I agree. Even without the injuries- him and Harden have an overlapping skillset. Were better off playing a 3&D point guard (who would also be a lot cheaper). Rondo is best surronded by shooters/guys who can play off the ball.

That would have been Avery Bradley, but Celtics gave him a 4Yr/$32M deal.

Love makes them a top 4 team in the West and you just replace Klay with K Mart..

Curry
K Mart
Iggy
Love
Bogut

Love would flourish in GS.

I'm unbelievably happy.

In reality - Minnesota restarts trade talks with GSW to persuade Cleveland to give up Wiggins.

"Bulls making renewed push to get into trade mix for T-Wolves Kevin Love - sources"

Text from ESPN.

Have they signed Mirotic yet?

Bulls making push for Kevin Love

The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in the lead to acquire Kevin Love but the Chicago Bulls are making a renewed push to get into the trade mix for the All-Star power forward, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com the Cavs are increasingly optimistic that they are progressing toward a trade framework that the Minnesota Timberwolves will accept in exchange for Love to pair him with his Team USA teammate LeBron James.

Cleveland's offer, sources said, would be headlined by No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013's No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick. At least one more player might have to added to the package to satisfy NBA trade rules.

Sources say that the Bulls, though, have this re-entered the race and would appear to be the biggest threat to the Cavs, thanks largely to the Golden State Warriors' resolute unwillingness to add longtime Wolves target Klay Thompson in a deal.

Although the full extent of the Bulls' offer wasn't immediately known, it is believed Minnesota would seek a package from Chicago featuring forward Taj Gibson and defensive ace Jimmy Butler in addition to other assets. The Bulls shelved their Love interest while trying to sign Carmelo Anthony away from the New York Knicks but, according to sources, have re-emerged as a contender.
