He went to the WCF once(a team also with Nene, Chauncey and young Birdman). The Knicks have stunk since the trade. And Kidd wasn't washed he just ended up playing too many minutes. And the defensive anchor and the competent PG are more valuable to a team than Melo jacking long two's and hitting them at a low rate. Stop overrating scoring.
Kidd retired after the season breh. Someone has to be the main draw on offense it creates for everyone else. The problem for the Knicks era is that there has been no one else after Melo 'draws'.
The Triangle base encourages easy baskets for the TEAM. It should facilitate multiple scoring threats from all areas of the basket (unlike a ball dominant High Pick/Roll). When ran right it will give the most intelligent basketball teams fits (Spurs). The plan is for other players who aren't as gifted to score and maintain a team approach to offense within that concept. This is in direct contrast to ISOMELO of Woodson.
The Key is for Melo know how to play within the offense & when he needs to step outside of it. This will conserve energy & hopefully improve efficiency. If some other player steps up & becomes a 2nd "draw "within the offensive concept (.i.e. Pippen) the entire teams efficiency improves to championship levels as long as defense is maintained.
That is why O'Quinn & Lopez were targeted. KP also may provide adequate rim protection because of length.
