So the NBA only has one superstar. Lebron James?
I think thats the problem....Define superstar?
I can't call anybody a superstar, if they can't play defense, or bring something else to the table, other than scoring. Unless Melo was a dominant Center that scores in the paint....Melo is a jump shooting scorer, and Durant is even a better jump shooting scorer.
I can't think of one superstar that can only do 1 think great, and the rest is average or below.
Rodman is a good example. Great rebounder, defender, blocks shots, and athletic enough to out run most players at his position. But the average fan would take Melo over Rodman.......
You can't simply be just a scorer, and call yourself a superstar.
We added Melo with Amari, because Miami got Lebron, Wade and Bosh. Otherwise, we should've built a team around Stat or around Melo.....Add young stars that compliment either player, not both. And not just add stars just to use up the cap room and say we have 2 to match Miami's 3.....We were doomed from the very beginning since Lebron made the big decision.
