U confuse me at every step...Harden is a max player??? and I believe u have argued Melo is not a max player...Am I correct??

There was an "if" in front of my statement but otherwise you are correct.

So Harden is better than Melo?

Most likely, yes. I say "most likely" because my claim is based on only two seasons of data from Harden but it's two unambiguously better seasons than what Melo provides. It's still not clear to me that Melo even helps his team win games.

I wonder how Melo would do if he played with Westbrook, Durant, Perkins, Ibaka etc.

Terrible. Only one ball.

LOL! Crush's question is a misguided excuse for MElo ball. Performance is impacted much less than many think by the quality of your teammates. You can be a good, efficient player whether you have great or bad teammates.

Is a Prime Ginobli better than Melo?

Now you're actually getting it...

So Lin now has a better cast in Houston than when he had in NY during Linsanity...I know u believe that Lin is better than Felton...So I should assume you believe that Houston should have a better record than the Knicks this season...Care to stake your already vulnerable rep on that???

This makes absolutely no sense.

Why doesn't it make sense...If he believes Lin and Harden are better...He and others have argued the team should have been modeled after the team that have garnered success during Linsanity...So why doesn't it make sense???

Linsanity had many players injured and we have also added depth. The Linsanity was depleted so this is a really bad comparison.

What does this years knick team have to do with Linsanity?

Is he worth it?

Tune in and find out!

by a landslide.

ROTFLOL not saying I disagree I think your response is hilarious. I'd wager to say if you surveyed 30GMs across the league on Harden/Ginobli/Melo at their best it would go...

67.3% Ginobli
30.3% Harden
3.3% Melo

They would show Melo some love
