Kobe, Dwight, Durant, Rose, Westbrook, K-Love, LeBron, Wade, CP3, Dirk. thats 10 guys. blake griffin, pau gasol, lamarcus aldridge, zach randolph, etc. all of those guys can be argued with melo as next level, but i think you add in the other circumstantial evidence and it paints a clearer picture.

what does it say that the team goes on an 8 game winning streak without him? what does it say that the team constantly goes on runs with the 2nd unit? why do the nuggets have a remarkably better record since trading melo?

melo displays no leadership. he looked grumpy when he came off the bench after 2nd team went on a 15-0 run to get us the lead, which we promptly lost as soon as he came back in the game.

can we all accept the fact that this guy is UNDOUBTEDLY not a top 5 player. he isn't even a top 10 player. he is selfish, he doesn't make the team better, and we play better without him.

people who disagree are denying the obvious and the truth. these are facts.

i've never considered him a top 10 player because all those guys you mentioned. It looks like Melo has become Marbury 2.0 for us lol

melo is a better version of al harrington. he isn't a franchise player.

Not focused. Winning isnt utmost in importance.

exactly. he's so ME first its embarassing. you can't spell MELO without "ME". its all about him. it has been since we traded 5 guys for him and he didn't get it then, he doesn't get it now.

uh, no, it was not a no-look pass. It was a god awful, lazy pass.

it very much seems like melo and MDA are not on the same page, still. melo seems to resent when the team plays well and isn't featuring him. and he seems to then go out and pout on the floor.

i'd seriously be open to trading him.

Word.

I would take maybe some sneakers and a set of practice balls for him right now. Addition by subtraction.

The sting is in the 25 players we gave away to get him.
