Equating Melos value with scoring is like the old guys in baseball still pounding the table because a pitcher has a lot of wins. It's nuts.

Kawhi is the best perimeter defender in the NBA, and does not need the offense to flow through him in order to be effective. He is not a ball stopper and continues to get better, only Carmelo apologists would choose Carmelo over Kawhi at this point in their careers. PG is a better passer and facilitator, and he is much better than Carmelo on the defensive side of the ball.

Melo better than Leonard is legit retarded

I'm beginning to get nervous about what Porzingis does in summer league. I don't want him getting yammed on. :sadcam:

You just know damn trolls like Isola are ready to pounce if he has a rough debut.

The problem with Sideshow Mel is the Blazers got Davis and Aminu for less than what were paying him.

Today :blessed:

I wanna see KP obviously but i'm also very interested in Branch. And the other two 7-footers see what they can do, hopefully Knicks find a gem.
@Trip you should just stop watching Knicks games bro :mjlol:

And some of ya'll expect too much from Melo. He's not a leader or a top-tier player. He's an elite scorer that will give you some decent rebounding. And the Knicks would be much worse off without him. Level your expectations of Melo and enjoy the season. Summer League is here :blessed:

Na, Lopez is a legit 7ft, disruptive, defensive center tho. I just look at how the Suns committed the same amount of years to Tyson Chandler for $2 million less total. I'm shocked he got that deal at this point in his career.

7-footers in the NBA seem to be like lefty pitchers in baseball. They'll always get paid.

I'm not worried about him at all. He looks excited and ready to take on the challenge.

The leader and top tier player stuff is. Just hyperbole . Is bron not a leader since love was considering leaving ? Or since he threw his coach under the bus ? Is CP3 not a leader since he was willingly alienating one of teams best players out of pettiness and never been as far as Melo in the playoffs ?
Melo hasn't had the right roster to win a title in his career

Can anyone explain why Melo is such a great player without including he scores a lot or no
