NBA 2K14 PS4 My Career - Melo to the Heat?

[@charleswoodsongoat1258]

Melo to the bulls makes way more sense. Imagine the starting line Pg: Rose (if healthy) Sg: Butler Sf: Carmelo Pf: Gibson C: Noah If Melo doesn't go to the bulls it's obvious he cares more about money than winnning.

[@Rajul2]

The thing I love about Smoove is that he makes everything interesting, I haven't watched a single NBA game nor do I play basketball in real life. I'm a football (soccer) fan, but still I took interest in this topic, just because Smoove made it interesting.

[@psychfan10203]

Yeah, I wish Smoove did more video commentaries like this.

[@Rage_Templar]

someon who says that soccer should be call football sorry if I missuderstood

[@GabeCoy12]

Its soccer not football :P

[@Rage_Templar]

it fits the ring for it

[@aaronremineux1326]

Smoove please go on ESPN First Take and talk some sense into Skip Bayless. He is confused 99% of the time, he makes some true points on occasions, but he is just confused. Plus who wouldn't love to see you on TV doing NBA analysis. It'd be a smooooove move

[@jorgeanta2912]

Aaron Remineux no skip just say some shits for shits and giggles mainly i remember one time he said pippen is not a top 50 all time

[@stefanpapdi5151]

Jorge Anta he said okc is better without durant!!!!! meaning he thinks kyle singler is better then KD what the fuck?

[@jorgeanta2912]

Stefan Blargh yeah ik i think skip mostly trolls

[@munclesonkey]

Pat Riley should try to trade Wade for Carmelo. The backlash from fans of Wade's would be awful... But know what else is awful? Dwyane Wade in these finals. If you want to win championships you have to do hard stuff sometimes.

[@derkach77]

If people actually think melo to the heat will happen they have no clue about the NBA whatsoever. If he leaves NY as expected he will be a bull. Houston is the only other team who has a shot but no one will take Lin and Asiks crazy contracts. Those teams are by far the front runners. Melo to Chicago has been rumored all year anyways.

[@824kblakers]

If melo goes to the heat I'm done with the nba.

[@ryanr20091]

this coming from a laker fan ,oh the irony lol

[@ImJusThtGuy]

ryanr20091 I'm a laker fan and remember what stern did to us with Chris Paul. The new commissioner better do the same.

[@824kblakers]

ryanr20091 so what if Im a lakers fan? You can ask from any teams fan and they would all agree that this would be bullshit!

[@jimba179]

Melo to the Heat...They'd not still win a champ, hah :D. Yeah. Let Melo go to Heat. I'd love that rivalry against us.

[@824kblakers]

xSinGx maybe not but it would still be stupid to have so many stars on the same team

[@Chris10237]

Not likely, just another rumor. Also, think about it. Would Melo even make the Heat better? He'd take a lot of shots away from LeBron. As LeBron said in that All-star interview thing, there can only be 1 alpha dog.

[@TheBearOfFun]

Exactly! The scoring would be terrible because now you have a huge ballhog on your team, like imagine if carmelo went to the spurs. He would fuck up there whole offense!

[@codyssmith73]

It'd be like Bargs and Melo now. Two guys who want to shoot too much.

[@IDoThisNoCAP]

Lebron and carmelo would fit perfect together. As you can see lebron is very unselfish when it comes to scoring and melo would take the shots lebron wouldn't so that would be a huge load off lebron.

[@quentinrichards5339]

The league wouldn't allow it to happen. I remember David Stern didnt allow Chris Paul to sign with the Lakers because he felt that it was unfair. I thought it was a bad call (because of the Lakers performance the following year), but this would be total crap if Adam Silver allows Melo to go to the Heat with Lebron, Bosh, and Wade.

[@forashilling]

David Stern had ownership of the Hornets, that's why he could veti

[@FableSoulja]

I don't think the Heat would want Melo regardless.

[@TheNbc27]

David Stern declined it as the owner, not as the commissioner. Adam Silver has no power. Quentin Richards

[@theocollins2241]

Lakers had Steve anyway

[@TheNbc27]

***** The Veto was legal tho, this one wouldn't be.

[@IcantThinkOfAname9]

Every Superstar has help. That being said out of all the superstars, It seems that Lebron needs the most amount of help to win championships.

[@Akonkonvictted]

Lebron can turn it on whenever he needs to in game 4 the 3rd quarter the heat had 21 points 19 of those points came from lebron on 7/7 shooting, his team was not playing defense he held the offensive load but if his team is not going to help him on defense, he cannot lead them to a win, he cannot play defense for all of them, offense he surely can play

[@isaac-os7xq]

***** I think that's the problem though, it shouldn't always be about those bi-polar fans, if there's an opportunity to get a champion with other stars then you should take it.

[@FableSoulja]

LeBron needs the most help to win championships? He single handedly brought the cavs to the finals and multiple playoff runs. Again, by himself. He just needed a little help to finally win it all. How about KD? He has Westbrook and a bunch of young talent to help him, yet he can't win. Kobe couldn't do it wouldn't Shaq or Fisher.

[@mikeym94]

If melo is smart and wants the ship he should go to miami. But Miami should be smarter and get Kevin Love or Lamarcus A.

[@Robin-ie8dz]

NO LAMARCUS WILL NEVER LEAVE RIPCITY!!! NEVERRR

[@basedkhalid]

Kevin has to stay in Minnesota for another year

[@mikeym94]

Love said to the twolves that he is leaving the franchise next year. So prob they will trade him this summer, but miami has nobody to offer tho

[@ogtray8396]

They could trade bosh for love

[@mikeym94]

Yes if he opt's in his contract, but that would be stupid. Bosh: Yeah i'll sign an other year. Pat: Okey great lets trade you now for Love

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Bosh at 20.5 million? That's crazy! He's just a role player (at best) for the team. I never seen him score 30, lead the team, or carry the team on his back in crucial situations. He's a third option; therefore, he shouldn't be getting that much or anything near that pay grade. That's ridiculous!

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

gotta remember that contract wasn't out of hand when he played for the Raptors

[@JDot-cf5yt]

His average points per game is about 16-20

[@CrayZesT]

bosh isnt that bad, hes arguably the most versatile big in the league. hes hit multiple clutch shots for the heat, mainly 3s. hes a 9 time all star, the all time leading scorer for the raptors. before he went to the heat he avg. 20 and 10 a night.of course hes not going to put up those numbers still, hes the 3rd option now. hes not suppose to carry the team, thats lebrons job. if hes a role player then hes the best role player in the league.

[@futuregamer1799]

Bosh was a major role in the heat spurs game 2 so I don't know wat ur talkin bout fool!

[@xdooski]

You obviously didn't see him play for the Raptors. Bosh is one of the clutches centers in the NBA. He's hit so many threes and saved the Heat's ass so many times. Like 100793793 said, he goes off when LeBron and Wade isn't.

[@ModdableGiraffe]

Smoove... Melo's going to the bulls.. lol

[@Smoove61]

Actually he's going to the rockets he said he would love to play there

[@moelarry8088]

Tim Stanton or hes going to stay. he also said he wanted to retire a knick.

[@Sikhhh]

Louis V he just opted out of the contract lmao

[@Chaosbomber3]

I don't see him going to the Bulls anymore because (supposedly) Kevin Love is going to the Bulls too and they both play PF. (I know Melo could play SF but I think he prefers PF anyway).

[@bmbleek]

He opt out of his contract today

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

as an NBA fan, i'd love to see Melo go to the Bulls. Gives the Heat a real challenge in the East

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

in a weird way i'm enjoying these finals just because its crazy seeing Miami losing like this. Same way i enjoyed the Seahawks and Broncos

[@tonysytubeaccount]

If Rose can get healthy...

[@almightymurk]

Smoove I really like these kinda episodes where you talk about current stuff in the NBA :)

[@BbALLCrAzY36]

damn smoove you know so much about basketball man, thats why i watch your videos more than other commentators

[@2anzzzKing]

Ray Allen went from being a Celtic to being a Heat. Would not be surprised to see Melo joining a rival team. NBA, these days... smh.

[@Yondy510]

Carmelo ain't been f'd over as long as Ray he always had shitty teams. Carmelo always played shitty D. The only time in his life he played defense was in college. I truly believe being a nba star and what not he'll never be as great as he was at Syracuse.

[@MrTorsation476858]

Man you really haven't seen and or heard of Carmelo Anthony over the past couple seasons have you?

[@2anzzzKing]

MrTorsation476858 are you talking to the other guy, if not, I don't know what the hell that has to do with what I said.

[@anthonyreal2959]

C Haguyashi Ray always on a shitty team? Did you not see him, Pierce, and Garnett win a championship? lol

[@HazMan38]

Wtf are you saying the celtics those years were probably best in the league! oh wait I think your a heat fan

[@wjcastroo]

Chris should make a seris called Smoove News!

[@superkiller131313]

I want melo to start winning rings before he gets to old and starts dealing with injuries and no championships and you know, way past his prime. All that kind of stuff.

[@michaelcarter3431]

No, KOBE the ball hog.

[@legend4life07]

Michael Carter kobe the ball hog with 5 rings tho lol

[@SSJChaotic]

Michael Carter Even though he averages more assist? Nice logic there buddy.

[@jackmonte6544]

Hnal

[@michaelcarter3431]

He averages more assists because he always gets the ball, and whenever he passes it to his teammates, they score. Also Melo's teammates aren't very good...

[@KillasStayFly]

Loving these vids Smoove. Never heard you talk much about the NBA, but I knew you were most likely a big fan.

[@SteveGOML]

I love when you do regular commentaries!

[@host.]

Smoove, please make more videos talking about NBA, I love to hear your point of view.

[@L3THALxSNIP3ZZ]

I heard rumors that melo will sign with the bulls and that Kevin love might get traded to the bulls,if so: PG:Derrick Rose SG:Jimmy Butler SF:Melo PF:Kevin Love C:Jokim Noah

[@RETUBIFY]

If Carmelo goes to the heat it will change the nba completely in a devestating way

[@Majestic..]

This is very entertaining bro . The way you talking about basketball . Its like two things at once

[@tookyiv]

I am proud of you smoove for putting that together that deserves a like

[@ReiShiro0801]

The Salary in the beginning has Mike Miller in there...

[@moneyxbags123]

He got amnestied...he is still on the books

[@VinceC101]

***** technically he's not on the books anymore. it just signifies that the miami heat still owe miller money but that money doesn't affect the salary cap. so the heat are actually paying with their own money for miller's amnestied contract without hurting the cap.

[@GabrielPintacasi0810]

***** what is being amnestied sorry?

[@TBOTGamingHD]

Gabriel Pintacasi It's another word for "pardoned" or "excused"

[@moneyxbags123]

VinceC101 Look at vince's post

[@Tobykiethfan996]

Melo already said that it's about winning and not about money at this point......

[@gregoden6956]

joins the knicks. smh

[@vergilandnero]

What does melo want then? Be a good player, because of Phil Jackson.

[@GLegend360]

If Melo goes to the Heat I will never watch the NBA so long as those 4 play together.

[@vsc1988]

I completely agree.

[@TheCorbin22]

I don't think anyone would lol

[@DOOLANATOR7]

Keep these commentaries coming smoove!

[@TheNewKG]

I love how knowledgeable smoove is, learned so much about the NBA In this ten minutes

[@amorderose]

Mike Miller isn't on the Heat this season so why is his name there...

[@xHussBus59x]

because the heat bought his remaining two years out, he still counts against the cap so they are still paying him

[@tommybcuzz]

Cazius Cray As is said above, the heat are paying him that money and it DOESN'T stand against the salary cap as they did use the amnesty clause. Miller recieves 4.5mil a year from the heat and 1.5 from memphis, whatever money you earn after being amnestied takes away from the original contract

[@oGxVulpix]

Because the heat still needed to pay him .

[@amorderose]

Cazius Cray thanks for explaining

[@iPJgamer]

If Miami is really trying to improve, they need to go for Kevin Love. The dude brings in everything they'll need, unlike Melo. K.Love can rebound, is a great at scoring, and play defense on big men like Tim Duncan and the Pacers since he's 6'10". All Melo can do is score, but jacks up shots most of the time, which would hurt Miami.

[@donaldcherrington9759]

but love has injury problems like kobe and rose

[@iPJgamer]

hickjose I know he's not a Deandre Jordan, but hell Miami needs someone to stop these tall PFs and Centers. Having K.Love there at the rim may help out a lot.

[@scoundrel_9966]

Did you just say Melo can't rebound. Lmao, Smh, just leave.

[@SPB772]

Kevin Love will rather wait for the rebound than try to contest a shot..

[@iPJgamer]

Destiny Chosen Child I didn't say the exact words that Melo can't rebound. I'm just saying that I'll take K.Love's rebounding over Melo's anyday.

[@RipBigLippy]

If carmelo leaves the knicks, they'll make another poor decision like not picking up a first round draft pick... Then they'll become the Charlotte Bobcats

[@nickreynolds4314]

As a Sixers fan, I'd be the happiest guy in the world

[@shakaama]

Nick Reynolds you have some makeup on... you might wanna wash that off.

[@varius456]

Nick Reynolds strange, lol theres like no rivalry between those teams

[@varius456]

Joseph Rhym those there are bandwagon words

[@abhayfive]

Joseph Rhym He wasn't talking about this season but the year the *Bobcats* went 7-59

[@Randomanious2]

I love this NBA commentary talk! Make more videos like this smoove

[@evynsrefuge]

Smoove your commentating is spectacular.

[@drizzydrake4976]

If the NBA lets Melo join the Heat and not let CP3 join the lakers,im not watching NBA anymore

[@isaiahthomas1649]

***** That was still a move to keep the Lakers from forming a super team. Everyone says it

[@daddyman123456789]

Yeah you should know the difference between a trade and free agency

[@enriquea01ea]

no one's gonna care if you dont watch......

[@RipBigLippy]

How about if Carmelo leaves the Knicks, CP3 comes to the Knicks? That'd be greeeattt

[@enriquea01ea]

BallLikeChrisPaul3 i dont think he would wanna go to knicks

[@superman4ever101]

is FREE-AGENCY for crying out loud lol. you can go where ever you want to go. the NBA cant do nothing about where a player wants to go. unfortunately the Heat are in Miami which is an attractive city and you cant denied that Pat Riley is a genius and have a great owner that doesn't let is ego get on the way, . is all comes down to management creativity. btw i am not a heat fan

[@ckamo10]

Your wrong cp3 wanted to go to the lakers but David stern said no

[@superman4ever101]

ckamo10 but he was not a free agent, melo is, dont you get the point.

[@MisterJanDaMan]

superman4ever101 lol it's like he just ignored your comment

[@HockeyMan197]

Im pretty sure, I may be wrong, but the NBA does really decide where the player goes..

[@AbsoleteAim]

Honestly melodic should go to a team that needs it take the Lakers and Celtics as an example

[@JrocDaBx]

If Carmelo goes to Miami. I'm gonna quit watching the NBA for good.

[@neojonn083]

good riddance

[@DwayKeezy]

Ok.......

[@santaclaus4553]

Like we wanna know why did you say that

[@DOOLANATOR7]

bit extreme

[@DOOLANATOR7]

JadeEnda4 sad life you have then..

[@carloscerritos7748]

Love this type of videos and commentaries.

[@ZlaTkoTV]

Amazing breakdown! Good job Smoove!

[@JKPrimetime]

Well what matters more to Melo, a rivalry or a ring?

[@anpupunes02]

the question is can melo take that much hate

[@cytukyl713]

Kendrick Manalo 11 years without a ring bro. Fuck the hate all that matters at this point is gaining a ring

[@beastlydfw]

But then his entire career is He had to have 3 other stars to do it. He will be known as the 2nd best player on the team and we know he doesn't want that

[@dylanstratton4201]

we should ask Carmelo that question

[@StLouisKing05]

I dont think Melo will go to the Heat because if he won a ring with the big 3 it "wouldn't count." I can see the Wizards signing him. That could help them make the jump from a playoff team to a championship contender.

[@dawsony27]

Omg that's actually pretty legit. They would have the best frontcourt in the league. Plus two future superstar guards. Then they could play Ariza as a 6th man. Holy shit.

[@JacobWilkes26]

Or they could start Ariza and move Mello to power forward. It would be a solid team.

[@dawsony27]

Nah nene at PF gortat at center

[@JacobWilkes26]

Yeah I forgot about nene. I guess they'd have to put Ariza at 6th man.

[@dawsony27]

The wizards have the cap space to sign either one, considering Wall is the only player with a big contract on their team.

[@FatalPivotStrike]

The rivalry doesn't matter.. there's a bigger rivalry between Boston and Miami and Ray Allen ended up in a Heat uniform

[@tythegoat7447]

He was let go there's a difference

[@iGotenks13]

The difference is that Ray Allen already did so much for Boston. Carmelo didn't get the Knicks anywhere.. I suspect the fans would be kinda mad if he left to go to the Heat.

[@xFarce]

This was actually really interesting. I don't watch the NBA all that much but this really gave good insight.

[@ross3545]

Intelligent points. Good job explaining too, i like these kinds of videos every once in a while

[@kobethebest5745]

Yo Smoove! In honor of father's day you should do an nba dads lineup bro! Like this comment if you think this a great idea people!

[@itsStawny]

Sad how players play for the money and not the sport.

[@31olegna]

Kinda sad huh?

[@keef.u]

True, true....

[@ckamo10]

Are you crazy ? Just because they play for the nba or any other sport that's their job . If you add an interview with 2 jobs and one of them pays more any human will go to that job . Just like the NBA

[@tomasrose6434]

***** are you serious? if its a difference between 10mil and 20mil, youre telling me that 10mil a year isnt enough money to survive?

[@itsStawny]

***** Pay them normal wage instead of 20 million dollars for playing a childs game.

[@lukeomk]

I feel like even if Melo joined the Heat they might not be that dangerous. I mean unless Wade was a sixth man or something you're playing small with not a very defensive center in Bosh, as well as four ball handlers on the court at a time.

[@PaulPetax]

Yeah. I don't think Melo would fit because the lineup would be overwhelmed with too much star power. LeBron is a team player and Melo is purely a scoring machine. Chemistry is messed up, Talents are difficult to utilize to their full extent and it might end up like the Lakers last season. (IMO)

[@lukeomk]

Yeah. Maybe it could work if Wade became a sixth man who gets starter minutes to lead the second unit but maybe he wouldn't be willing.

[@Gloluxx4]

Well there starting lineup could be the no pg lineup 1. Wade 2. Carmelo 3. Lebron 4. Haslem, Lewis, or anybody they pick up in free agency 5. Bosh. But I don't think this would work out lol.

[@lukeomk]

Too much star power and I feel like putting Wade at Point is a waste of his abilities. Better to make him a sixth man and keep Cole if possible.

[@Waxy6]

lukeomk at this point it's better than chalmers/cole and then you could start Ray Allen to space the floor even more

[@MN18920]

Good job Smoove on the Watch Dogs series. I loved it.

[@TheRealJYPark14]

[@AllBoutThemCowboys]

Smoove you act like Melo is a real Knick... C'mon he went there just to possibly win when i think of him i think of him not a team, just like dwight harden bosh and others, plus he's good friends with LBJ DW & CB better relationship with them than anyone on the NYK roster, if anything he stays for $

[@ricosuave953]

You do realize melo is from New York and went to Syracuse in college right?

[@MrTorsation476858]

Melo forced himself out of Denver to play for the Knicks. He loves the Knicks.

[@skysane4922]

preach it brotha, money the thing that brought him there, yaass he from NYC, but he aint no knick at heart. He'll go anywhere, as long as he thinks its a good winning situation. And chemistry between draft classmates is always good, especially one of that proportion, bosh, lebron, wade and melo have remained close friends ever since

[@MisterJanDaMan]

He's also the godfather of J.R. Smith's daughers

[@Zoroark90000]

[@psvideogamer1]

Melo to the Bulls.

[@RatchetSprite1]

YES! :)

[@raulmendoza1962]

To Rockets

[@whitesoxfan40]

YES!!!!!!!!

[@ModdableGiraffe]

Yeaaaaa

[@deewells4143]

Raul Mendoza OHHHHH HELLLL NO!

[@Gihf205]

I think melo will opt out and go to the Lakers because I believe he will finally get the sense knocked into him and realize that if he goes to the Lakers with Kevin Love and a few other role players that they would become a serious western conference contender again. PG:Anything but Steve Nash 😁 SG:Kobe Bryant SF:Carmelo Anthony PF:Kevin Love C:Pau Gasol Or they could pull off a miracle with a line up like PG:Anything but Steve Nash once again SG:Kobe Bryant SF:Carmelo Anthony PF:Lebron James C:Pau Gasol But that would be ballhog city 😃 #Lakersfan

[@alecazizian5459]

True

[@flyxbananas]

No

[@DeadlyGeko]

I dont think Melo's worried about the money now. Maybe in the past he was when joining the Knicks but now I believe he seriously wants to win. The thing I dont see him doing is going to a team where he isnt the man, or the go-to guy. I think Chicago is his best fit and thats where he'll end up. There a defensive minded team and their one missing piece is a scorer, plus they dont have a superstar (I dont count Rose cause he's hurt and most likely won't be the same player he once was). Plus the Bulls can offer him a good amount of money which is icing on the cake

[@123moneymonster]

I like when he talks about stuff in the NBA, instead of him talking about his NBA 2K14 games.

[@MiamiHeatLBJandDwade]

melo already said hes willin to take a pay cut if it means winnin. so if thts the case he should opt out of his current contract and negotiate a new one with the knicks and take less money. As for Miami the best thing for them is if the big 3 are willin to take a pay cut, they should look for a 6th man who can lead a 2nd unit and create his own shot so they don't have to worry about losing a lead when the starters take a break. kinda like james harden was for OKC. they should also look for younger defenders tht they can put on the opposing teams best player/players so lebron n wade can focus more on offense. and they need a defensive big like varejao or asik to take pressure off bosh and play him as a stretch 4. and if they do tht they can continue to be a legit contender for years to come.

[@xvxvxvxvz]

Jr Smith..

[@MiamiHeatLBJandDwade]

possibly

[@CrayZesT]

lance!!!!! lol

[@MiamiHeatLBJandDwade]

i was thinkin tht

[@CrayZesT]

HeatFanForLife it would be kinda awkward doe after what lance did but yeah if they pickup lance, asik, draft someone who fits( if they get shabazz at 30th that would be a steal or a defender like you said) or they get kyle lowry to replace Mario. or bring in avery bradley maybe for defense. they dont have to do all of that of course but they are possible realistic options to improve their team. now that i think about it idk even know why im talking about this lol, im a bulls fan.

[@TheDemon2749]

Why is mike miller still there?

[@HorsNoises]

That's the pay role from the beginning of the year, it doesn't that much different now anyways.

[@killyou1100]

because Miami still owe him money

[@puffpuffgreenstuff]

Damn Bosh is only worth like half of what he's making... Ridiculous contract

[@mAfYu1470]

Im Waldo it's not that they take away but that he's willing to sacrifice which is putting the teams need before his own

[@TheTommowg]

Great perspective Smoove!

[@BigBoyNoodles]

That was extremely well said Well done Smoove

[@commanderpinnacles]

Melo to the Bulls

[@Sullamylladilla]

Please bring Melo to Chicago, and if Rose can stay healthy, they will be Championship material.

[@jonnarwall1413]

He wouldn't make as much as he wants to

[@IDoThisNoCAP]

They wouldn't play well together

[@greggory1997]

Only reason that's a good idea is because the Bulls are defensive oriented.

[@hyper123100]

is it just me or a Rose-Melo trade would be a legit trade for both teams? Chicago with a consistent scorer and NY with a 1-2 punch with Rose and Chandler?

[@Zenomega]

Carmelo going to the heat won't be any worse than ray allen going to the heat

[@Jimmygetbuckets22]

SIGN AND TRADE: Melo for Bosh! heat starting line up Wade Allen Melo James Anderson OP MUCH???

[@cstark16]

anderson can't shoot. and have you seen how big a role bosh has been playing in the 4th quarter?

[@pdotfinesse]

yes that lineup a would be awesome

[@stefanpapdi5151]

[@Romanov99]

Why did u take chalmers out the lineup

[@ndjk2821]

***** LeBron is one of the best defenders in the league. He absolutely can play defense. Carmelo is marginally improved over the last three seasons.

[@joshuaneobond]

smoove i like you talking about real life things instead of the game

[@frank6460]

That was a good sermon Chris Smoove!!!

[@PitaChipz]

Commissioner would block it just like the Chris Paul scenario

[@MrHunt19]

He cant do that because the Heat are not owned by the NBA plus its not a trade he is gonna be a free agent.

[@ivoryandebony3011]

Commissioner has no say in that matter. He could block the Chris Paul trade because the league was the owner because the previous owner stepped down, and no one wanted to buy the team yet lol.

[@PitaChipz]

Oh shit I forgot he owned them my b

[@holydush]

LeBron needs Melo to win another championship I guess. lol.

My own opinion i think Melo should come to boston , Danny ainge will trade anyone beside Rondo, kevin love got get to boston , and Celtics should pursue and bring Melo to boston and melo say he wanna play with rondo and we have great coach and a great organization, and Rondo Melo Love will be next the big 3 and prolly will be in the final..

[@TPFilmsOfficial]

Im not a Celtics fan, but DAYUM, thats a smart move

[@lw3257]

We have 17 draft picks in the next 5 years........teams like NY need to rebuild.....draft picks are a great way to rebuild.....plus you can have some of our young players.......*Carmelo has been traded to the Boston Celtics* I'm glad someone else sees the potential Boston has

[@justinsobers4476]

Im a celtics fan and thats really smart

[@gregoden6956]

well Rondo is now on the Mavericks lol

[@0riginalking146]

Dylan de Jong well duh , that post is madd old

[@KillingSpreeXLWDGNG]

That's all we need is carmelo's big ass flopping on heat too. Heat should probably focus on role players and continue getting young dudes that compliment bosh/wade/lebron. Stacking can get you to the finals but teamwork and chemistry wins championships.

[@colesweet8478]

More videos like this smoove I like u sharing stuff like this and talking about real basketball t may just be me but I really like these real talk videos

[@PuffDinoAirsoft]

Ok, a combo of Melp, Lebron, Bosh, and Wade would never work. Lebron and Melo are both Alpha Dogs. They'll never co-exist. And they would never take pay cuts that large

[@JiggyBambino]

Wasnt wade an alpha dog when lebron went to miami? Yeah! Anything is possible as long as players are willing to take a step back

[@PuffDinoAirsoft]

Yeah but neither Lebron nor Melo would be willing to take that step like Wade

[@TehLogicHD]

LeBron already did that pay cut.. LeBron also is already willing to do that again?

[@blackanimelover18]

Houdini7.62 Thing is, everyone is a beta to LeBron. You might not think so at first, but as the games go on, you become second fiddle to him no matter who you are. Besides, LeBron is a facilitator, so it's not like Melo won't get his touches.

[@brandonlove4017]

I think they could co exist essentially. LeBron knows that he is the better player and he will have to show his dominance to let Melo know that he's the leader of the team. Ray Allen might retire and Wade will take the 6th man spot and be that bench power role, and Bosh would probably play more of a role where he is trying to get rebounds and play more like a bigman. They'll probably stop with the small ball if they were going to sign Melo.

[@woussess]

They already have a superteam, and now then want Melo. See, this is why people love to watch LeBron and the super Heat fail.

[@ohhai10]

But how is taking millions less in money make Lebron more hateable? He's given up so much money, and so has Wade and Bosh so they could play together. This is the opposite in selfish. He wanted to win, and he's done that. How many players would give up that much, in their prime, just to win? It's human nature to be greedy.

[@goat.1376]

Your avy is Rondo so I guess you like the Celtics... Did you root for the Rondo, Pierce, ray Allen, and Garnett super team to fail? What about Kobe, Nash, Pau, and Dwight? You sound like a hypocrite lol.

[@NikeTrackField12]

Kobe joining the celtics would be wayyyyyyyy different than carmelo going to the heat lol Kobe has been a laker for life.

[@csagouki]

Now this is the type of youtube video that deserves a like

[@kookybuger]

Melo isn't going to the Heat despite what it appears the new CBA introduces stuff like cap holders which doesn't go away unless: (this includes free agents) A.The player signs a new contract with the same team. When this happens, the team salary reflects the player's new salary rather than his cap hold. B. The player signs with a different team. As soon as this happens, the player becomes his new team's problem, and his salary no longer counts against his old team. C.The team renounces the player The Heat can renounce all the players but by renouncing a player, a team gives up its right to use their Bird rights (go over the cap for that certain player).

[@biggame4389]

If this happened, I will not watch NBA anymore LOL. And they should change their name to 2003 Draft Class All Stars. Hahaa!

[@TheoHill95]

#MeloToChi Or #KevLoveToChi ... Either is fine with me!!! #BullsNation

[@mintharis4387]

#StayTheFuckAwayMelo sorry I just hate Melo and love the Bulls

[@drew2464]

Agreed, Carmelo is in it for the money. He's a good player, but he doesn't care about winning. I'd be shocked if he didn't go somewhere where he's getting paid $20mil+

[@TheoHill95]

I totally understand you guys, BUT... What about #KevLoveToChi

[@cobra9593]

TheoHill95 If Melo doesn't play defense he wouldn't last in Chicago. Kevin Love isn't a decent defender either.

[@TheoHill95]

Well then my question now is... #WhoDoYouLove!?!

[@dragonbal230]

Carmelo Anthony should go to the Los Angeles Clippers!!!!

[@CalobAdamsInfamous913]

Hell no.

[@deewells4143]

***** Exactly....Hell to the naw!

[@Jesalllll]

CP3 + Melo would be awesome...

[@wesbesttreacts4515]

Everyone on the roster would get their first ring at the same time

[@joshuaneobond]

YESSSSSSSS! THEN MY CP3 WOULD BE GUARANTEED A RING!

[@justinzakariaie4345]

it would make sense to go to the clippers. Lokk they have the cap space, they need a small foward and cp3 could make plays for him blake and dj. Doc being the coach would lead them down to the championship

[@Yondy510]

This just means #NBA 2014-2015 season will go HAM. So many players are getting better and management are making smarter decisions.

[@SniperEnzo365]

The heat must sign Kevin love! And get rid of the dinosaur

[@zackmuetzel1008]

I disagree, as Bosh was a great player for the Raptors and K. Love being a really good player for the Timberwolves, his role would probably be undermined by LeBrons super stardom. Meaning he might become less aggressive and might become just like Bosh is today.

[@BalticReaper]

Zack Muetzel but K. Love for a corner three is more promising than The Bostritch from the same spot

[@adansoto3044]

Srry to all but love has to come to GSW with splash bros and iggy

[@Thatcoolvietkid]

One of your more informative videos, Smoove. Very nice. I don't think Melo ends up in Miami. If he did, does he play the four? LeBron? Could be tons of trouble for the league though. Yet I feel like if they were to get rid of one of the big 3 to attain Melo, I think it would be Wade. He's been hurt a lot and he hasn't been himself. Who then takes the blame if they fail?

[@UsedKeyboard]

Smoove, Melo doesn't care if it's a rivalry or not. It's not like he actually cares about any of the franchises in the first place.

[@greggwoodard1872]

Smoove explains this so well! Give that man an ESPN job!

[@TheTravii15]

Chris the reason Carmelo took the sign and trade deal with the Knicks for more money is because his mom told him that the family needed the money at the time because they were going through a difficult time financially. He had a lot of conferences with his mom and his agent and they all decided that at that time that was the best decision to do

[@Hamzoloo]

You have to remember the advantages of being on a team like the Heat. Because outside of the USA, not many people watch the NBA. Obviously there's quite a few, but the majority don't. So if you were to ask them to name a team they would probably say the Lakers or the Heat. Because of this publicity there's more opportunities for sponsorships globally, more recognition, so joining the Heat for Melo would be a long term investment imo. Because even after he retires he's going to get a lot more opportunities around the world, where he can make the money that he missed out on + more

[@Zstar300]

Awesome topic video smoove. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@allisonwalters-thompson7242]

Really the Heat don't need another small forward like Carmelo. They have the Big three who probably take up the budget, plus other teams like the Cavs could buy him on their team.

[@shakaama]

I don't understand the graph. are the others not under contract? the lower guys?

[@iTomasu92]

They are under contract for this season, but most of them are only signed for a year. Teams often do this with role players to stay flexible, besides being able to cut anyone they consider not-useful and sign new players.

[@GammaJay03]

True

[@jeffsweet9540]

Chris Smoove ur not chris smoove baybee

[@shakaama]

iTomasu92 thanks guys. I suspected it was something like that. I do finance, so this was the only interesting part of the video for me. I used to be heavily into basketball and football and knew ridiculous stats about player's seasons and how well they did, until one day I concluded it wasn't making me money. It would be better to know a profession as well as I knew sports. I think now, I have a mental block against sports.

[@logany37]

Rivalrys don't matter. Normally players will go to the team they want regardless of rivalries.

[@iPJgamer]

Example: Ray Allen.

[@23slammajamma]

If the bulls are smart, they amnesty Boozer. After that we make an attempt to sign a solid pg that can play well if Derrick Rose gets injured again, but can also back him up (hopefully the second one is the case). Our first priority should be getting Carmelo. If you have Rose, Melo, and Noah, this will be THE big 3 that will do more than the heat ever will with James, Wade, and Bosh.

[@rayr1vera]

If Carmelo comes to Chicago, I'll be in basketball heaven! These last few years have been a bummer for the Bulls and hopefully we can gain that 2nd scorer to the team. Bulls are known widely for relying on defense and we all know Carmelo isn't a great defender. Hopefully he can fit into the system well just as all the other Spurs players fit under Poppovich's coaching.

[@chrishardiman5824]

Smoove hitten'em wit that knowledge

[@AskMcGroove234]

Smoove it has been reported by TMZ that Melo said himself that he'll join Lebron and sign with Miami but nothing is official until he signs, its just been announced recently

[@MrTorsation476858]

Liar

[@AskMcGroove234]

Im serious search it up

[@hugoyoung3809]

I believe the reason for melo getting traded rather than signing in free agency was that he got guaranteed money sure but also that he didn't go into free agency during a lockout- the CBA expired that year and everybody was unsure about what would happen during the ensuing negotiations... That was also why the draft was so weak that year. There was so much confusion and so it makes sense that he wanted that guaranteed money. He still should've waited and signed in fa though
