Im sorry but durant is NOT better than Melo. There are a select few people in this league that can actually guard somebody, and the league likes/makes it that way because offense sells tickets.

The league has changed sooo much since the MJ years. PLayers cant D up like they used to, no hand checking, flopping and crap like that makes it easier for offensive players to dominate the game.

Defense is a team thing, its not about 1 player defensively unless your dwight howard (The ONLY exception).

There are MAYBE 10 players you could pick over Melo. Him overrated is rediculous. Im not trying to argue, but what makes you think he is overrated?

As we all know defens wins championships (excuse the cliches) and the team has to be built to win it. Were missing a few key elements. When we do win though, Melo will be the player to get us over the hump. (STAT too)

Are you serious right now??? I would take Melo over durant any day!!!

I dont even think there are 10 players you could take over melo. 3 to 5 at the most. Howard, bryant, and james. Maybe wade and paul. Nobody else. Period.

Your not explaining how you think Melo is overrated...
Kobe and Lebron both said carmelo is the hardest player to guard. Are thu not the 2 best in the league?

The Knicks need a more conventional coach is what they need. They need to put STATS big ass down in the paint 50% of the time and stop using him 12ft out or more 100% of the time. That's what they need...

Agree, there's no way Durant is better than Melo. If anything they're about on the same level, but for my money I take Melo's versatility on offense over Durant. Of course it would also depend on the other players you had around them on certain teams Durant would make much more sense than Melo. He might have made much more sense for the Knicks too for that matter, but that's a moot point he wasn't available Melo was.

Melo is the best scorer this team has had since Bernard King, I think it's silly not to be excited about that. It's certainly not like we had some kind of championship formula going here before we made the Melo trade I think people need to wake up to reality that team was going nowhere fast. At least now we have 2 major pieces to build up with. The hard part is done, now you focus on assembling the role players & eventually you have a team that can contend for championships. You can't build up with a supporting cast unless you have the main guys in place.

Trade Melo to New Jersey for the two picks they wouldve given Denver but did not have to give Utah and a large trade exception,since they will have the cap and will need to convice Deron Williams to stay and Melo would do that for them.

Thus freeing up 18 million (assuming the cap comes in at 60 million)

Bring in Wilson and Tyson Chandler

Tariaf/Shawn Williams or Jefferies

Try to tell me our current starting 5 is better!

We would actually gain one point per game! we would get 7 more rebs and 2 more blocks and overall a much more balanced team.


Please someone show me how I'm wrong in thinking we would not be a better team in this scenerio!!!!

Bring in my man Jeff Van Gundy to coach and we are back to The Finals within two years


Another point to consider when for all of you who swear by the idea we need two superstars.

Remember last time Melo played w/ a fellow Superstar player....allow me to give you a reminder.....it was Allen Iverson, the two of them scored a lot of points Denver made the playoffs and was consider "a dangerous first round opponent" but was bounced out of the first round twice!!!!

Not being a pessimist like some of you have labled me, Im just not gassed because we have two "superstar players" now!
