I think Melo choosing the Knicks is walking away from a war.
I think so too. Melo to the Bulls will create a much better balance of power in the East. But the Knicks can give Melo the most money, dollar for dollar, than any team and not just a max deal, from I've been reading.
And what is Melo still waiting for? Slow kill Phil Jackson?
I'm surprised Bosh didn't go to the Rockets
Me too. I thought it was in the bag for Houston. But he signed for a whopping $23.6m each year for the next 5 years with the Heat while with Houston he gets $22m a year for only 4 years. Money and retirement pay matters. I think the same holds true for Melo staying with NYK, he gets the best deal and it seems with Tyson Chandler gone, Knicks got their work cut out for them this coming season.
And I think Houston gambled on Parsons and lost while waiting for Bosh. Rockets didn't pick up Parson's 1 years option and now instead have to pay steep to match Dallas' offer sheet to Parsons.

I think Bosh wanted to stay in Miami -- loyalty, whatever but it wasn't simply $$$ as it was basically the same at either place
Does anyone feel Melo stayed in NY for something other than the $$$ primarily?
The $$$ should be the main reason. But I think his wife wants to live in NY too. Btw, I haven't heard Amare's name in the Amnesty List.Boozer, yes. But it's time to amnesty Amare.
