CP3 is the primary ball-handler in LA but only turns it over 2.3 times per game (good for 46th in the league) . Not an atrocious 3.5 (good for 9th in the league).

CP3 isn't also asked to be the number one scorer. And he's a POINT GUARD BY TRADE

I'll admit, 3.5 turnovers is an ugly number, almost as ugly as Magic's 4 turnovers per game

LeBron has the 4th most turnovers in the nba, behind 1) John Wall 2) Stephen Curry 3) Kevin Durant.



Again Lj plays PG and is the primary ball handler for his team (because he can't play off the ball)

He does NOT play point guard. He plays small forward. He gets the most touches because he is the best player on the team. Similar to when MJ played for the bulls, and led the team in touches. The offense goes THROUGH LeBron.

leading his team not only in usage, but touches, giving him more opportunities to have direct assists (as opposed to hockey assists); always has. 'Melo has never been the primary ball-handler/facilitator for his team. It's always been guys like Billups, Baron, Jeremy, Felton, Pablo, etc. 'Melo doesn't lead his team in touches; Felton does because he's the PG.

But Melo's usage rate is higher than LeBron's. He has more plays specifically to put the ball in his hands, and doesn't get nearly as many assists. Not even close.

As someone on here once pointed out, let most people control the ball as much as him and they'll match his assist totals.


Not sure why you keep quoting this, it is incorrect.





A writer on bleacher report correctly observed...


BLEACHER REPORT!!!!





I'd encourage you to google “primary facilitator Miami Heat”

Joakim Noah was the "primary facilitator" in chicago this year is he a point guard?


Again, if you look at the stats, you will mostly see those with the official tag of pg leading in touches.The only exceptions are Kobe, Lj (cuz he's the PG), Kevin Love, and Paul George (who plays PG with Hill), and Harden (who I believe also plays PG at times). (you are wrong Lin/Beverly)


None of those players are point guards you simple fukk. All you proved was that the elite players get the most touches.




Jordan also averages the same FG% for his career despite not being a dunker/layup guy the whole first 11 years of his career.

Where are you getting this "dunker/layup type guy" shyt?

I can't believe this chick is out here copying definitions of orchestrator trying to explain basketball with Bleacher Report articles...

Also, I would hit up Detroit on taking on Smith and Jennings for a pick or 2.

As a nets fan I love this idea. Do it Phil.

Carmelo says he wants to stay, but doesn’t want to rebuild

“I want to come back,” Anthony said at the Tarrytown practice facility. “I want to come back. If we can put ourselves in a position to compete at a high level over the course of five years, whatever that contract will be, I’m willing to stay here. I never once said I wanted to leave. I always said I want to explore options and see what’s out there.”

I'm starting to think Melo doesn't even knows wtf Melo is going to do at this point.....

Melo is gone.

'Melo's opponents shot over 40% in only 2 categories this season:

Who lit him up this season? Last season he ranked in the 69th %tile (a full 19% above average). He was excellent in defending the post up (his position [PF] last season), 92nd%tile. 'Melo doesn't rebound? U gotta be trollin'. He ranked 35th on the season in double-doubles with 22. Gettin' teammates involved? 'Melo makes 8.3 less passes per game than Lj, who plays PG in Miami and 'Melo does not play PG. Yea, you trollin' cuz you flat out lied when you said “for every 40 point game he'll have 10 for 33 games”. It's actually more like, for every 40 point game he'll have efficient 30pt games (plural). He never “shoots them out of games” but you clearly wish he did. Without him, they'd be 50 games under 500. You're flat out bitter that 'Melo is better than Pierce. Maybe it was Shump breakin' his ankles? 'Melo is more efficient than Pierce for their careers and is shockingly getting better. I didn't expect him to become a 40.2% 3pt shooter on 5.4 attempts. Pierce only averages 0.7 more apg than 'Melo for his career and he's been on stacked teams his whole career. Now, tell another lie. He averaged 0.7 apg less than 'Melo this season. Is he so old that he can't pass the rock anymore?

Somebody post that didn't read .gif

Dude tried to act like Melo's passing ability is similar to Lebron just based on the amount of passes Melo makes
