For the first time, Anthony publicly raised the question whether the regime is more focused on making the playoffs than winning a title.
"What's successful for us,'' Anthony said. "That's the question you have to ask ourselves as a whole organization. Not just winning another 15 games like we did this year and playing for the eighth seed. Is that success? Or is being a top seed in the Eastern Conference, a top team in the NBA? Winning a championship is always the ultimate success. We have to put things in perspective. What's success mean to this organization? A championship for me is always the ultimate success -- not us slotting in and barely getting into the eighth seed. That's not success for me. Having prominence in the postseson. That's success.''

Then there's this lovely story
Keep in mind that Melo has incentive to leave after June 1st when his trader kicker kicks in so he's getting that extra cash that he couldn't get this year if he decided he wanted out. I could be wrong and it's later this summer not sure though. Cleveland for Love? Chicago for picks and contracts? Staying? If he gets flipped for Love the Banana Boat Bros team could come to fruition. Kyrie for CP3, Love for Melo, and Wade is a free agent....
Just something I found interesting.
