If it turns out that Taj is a better bench player than a starter, I am going to be PISSED.
Turns out to be a troll move by Melo:
hey don't trade Taj I wanna play with him! Hey wait I don't have enough money because you kept that Taj fellow screw you guyz!
Idk what to think because there were reports out there that said Melo wanted to keep Taj on the team if he played for usNo they probably pressured him to accept Taj by having Taj show up. What was Melo supposed to suggest? How would it look if Melo suggested picking up an Okafor or a Blatche for half the cost of Taj?
It makes sense that Anthony would like Taj because his forte is defense. He's not going to take shots away from Anthony and Rose.
I'm not even sure if Okafor can play right now honestly. What did he sit out last season for?You can find cheaper alternatives to Taj Gibson. You don't think Okafor can guard the paint as well as Taj?
It wouldn't be smart for the Bulls to move Taj without having a commitment from Melo. Because if we trade Taj for nothing and Melo doesn't come.... then the Bulls are even more fucked.
If Melo wanted to play with Taj then I don't see how having Taj there is a bad thing.I agree but Taj should not have even been there in the first place. Jimmy Butler wasn't there. Trading Taj wasn't even an option IMO and thart shouldn't have been the case.

You make a good point about Taj being there, he probably shouldn't have been there to make Melo feel like he would be kicking Taj out of a place he's happy. It really comes down to what the Bulls offer was, there is no way in hell Melo was coming here for $16M so once the Lakers and Knicks put out their offer, the Bulls should have made a real offer as well.No they probably pressured him to accept Taj by having Taj show up.

GarPax have gotten smarter so you can't really prove what they wouldn't do. It looks like they didn't even make a real offer so you can't hold it against them if Melo turns them down. They can just claim that they would have done anything to get him, but we really have nothing to go one but a nice long meeting.cant wait to start using "Paxson wouldn't trade Taj for Melo"
