That team would have made the finals in the east. You act like 6 teams win the title every year or if you don't win it all it was an unsuccessful season. Melo led that team to a great season. Many many stars did not win nba championships in their careers. Are you going to discredit Malone stockton Barkley etc and say it never really worked for them?
If the Knicks end up with Carmelo for 7 seasons and get knocked out in the first round for 6 of them, is that success to you?
The one year they really got Melo talent they went to the WCF. The rest of the years there just wasn't a great supporting cast which was what the argument is. Old iverson wasn't a good fit. They had a small window with Billups still in his prime and they were a contender. So to answer your question I would not be happy but I don't blame Melo if we fail to give him a good supporting cast.
you have it backwards. melo doesn't make others better he makes them worse. so the notion of surrounding him with enough talent-- a good enough "supporting cast" LOL-- as though he is an elite team player... is a recipe for failure. what melo needs is an already very very strong playoff team to join, one with a great coach and with a culture of success.
I agree, thats why im confused by the ppl who wish we signed lin
I hope im wrong but melo may not win a championship until he becomes a role player and he's thesupporting cast
you're not wrong.
What really burns me up about melo, he has the ability to play unselfish, efficient, defend ferociously, and make guys better. You see it from time to time and you just wonder why doesn't he play that way on most nights.
There's nothing worse then someone who's inconsistent, because you nvr know what to expect.
Thats in all walks of life. No one wants to deal with someone or somthing thats somtimish
