My guy. My whole argument is that Melo's self image and the expectations placed on his shoulders vs reality are out of wack. He allowed the hype from the beginning of his career to distort his self-image. It also impacted the expectations his fans had of him. All I'm saying is that ultimately Melo is just a companion piece for a real superstar. And that's been the case for many years-- no one has been willing to accept that, including Melo.A lot of players are "roughly" the same size as Lebron but not nearly as physically gifted, talented, or have the same level of coordination.
Melo has never been the primary playmaker on any team he's played on. I can only speak to his Knick tenure, but with the teammates he's had while here, I think even CP3 would struggle to average over 10 assists. He'd prob be getting 8-9.5 assists.
I don't think Melo has ever been lauded as a defensive stopper.
So I guess in your eyes, adding to his game means becoming Lebron.I thought you meant adding a facet of his game that isn't there. Like he lacked something. Melo for most of his career was above average at rebounding from the 3 position. As a 4 in the later stages of his career, yeah banged up with most of his athleticism gone, he's lacking.
I do agree tho that he's a stat padder with his priorities in the wrong place.
Or does he? Now that I think about it....his priorities are only wrong to us as fans. Yeah we want players to be in the gym working on their skills when they don't have a game. We want them eating right and getting rest when they're not in the gym practicing. We want them to put OUR favorite team above all else. How dare some young millionaires go to Miami on NYE and they have a playoff game a week from then?? A WEEK.
How dare you complain about having to switch your kids schools because you got traded??
You grew up on mayonnaise sandwiches and scrambled eggs for dinner....how dare you seek a MAX contract??
At this point Melo has prob resigned himself to the fact that he won't win a chip in his lifetime. So he's getting bread and trying to keep getting all star appearances. In his mind (and mine) that's not a bad story for the grand kids "Sheeit, Pop-Pop used to give the business back in the day. 13 time all-star, 20,000+ points scored :alonzoknick:, we rich af". shyt I'll take it. And so would most of you. It's easy for us to forget these are regular dudes. It's easy for us to say what we'd do in their shoes when we will never walk in em.
I think theres nothing wrong with Melo maximizing his dollars. But he can't get angry when maximizing his dollars doesn't coincide with championships. That's all I'm saying.

The hell we supposed to do; Start a "Where's Derrick?" Campaign? Go throughout NYC and Chicago looking for dude.Like I feel like I'm from another planet. Dude just said F it and dipped out on the team. The team then proceedes to get destroyed by 20+ points with niccas getting ejected and the rest of the team looking dejected but the fkin simps in this thread are just likeit's fine shyt happens.
WTF is wrong with yall??!!
Edit: Dude really said he needed his space. Cmon you a grown man, gotta be professional.
You right breh.
The audacity of you being the arbiter of truth regarding what's a fukk you to the fans when you openly welcome execs intentionally sabotaging multiple seasons when people are buying tickets to see them.
A broke clock can be right, though. As of what we know more, it is negligent on his part and the fans and team deserve more info.
You talking to a dude who personally delivered edible arrangements to Embiid, breh.
His advice is sound

Would he have gone higher than Mudiay in the draft a couple years ago?
Yes because he can shoot. He's 11 on draft express big board...... righgt now we're 12
but he's 6'5 with 6'11 wingspan.... if we could get another perimeter defender guard...... we might be able to hide melo defensively for most games.

Ya'll think a player could pull some shyt like this on the Spurs? Or the Cavs with LeBron there?
Players have no respect for this organization. nikkas look at us like a joke.
