whatever HC we get will play to ISO-Melo's talent .. a isolation system of holdin/dribblin the ball.
The defense wont change bc we all see that certain player who is always last getting back on defense.
Melo is a top 15-20 NBA player. Why does it have to be on him? JR Smith went 2-9 from 3pt land and has been shooting 22% all season. Amare Stoudemire is the worst big man in the NBA right now offensively and defensively, he's even worse than Kendrick Perkins. He can't hit an open jumpshot, rebound, pass, post up, defend, contest a jumpshot or even jump. He's in retirement mode trying to play like he was a Phoenix Sun. Raymond Felton is currently ranked last in the NBA amongst NBA PG's in efficiency, added to the fact he plays defense as bad as Jose Calderon...how can any team in the NBA contend? Tyson Chandler is injury prone, he has weak legs and can't absorb NBA contact 82 games a year. Since when the NBA became One vs One?
Before you blame Melo, ask yourself who does Melo have to pass the ball to? Tim Hardaway Jr? Iman Shumpert? Kenyon Martin? Bargnani has shot the ball well but he can't even be on the floor for too long because he rebounds and plays defense as bad as Amare.
An NBA leads itself to an NBA championship. LeBron couldn't do it without Wade and Boston, KG couldn't do without Rondo, Allen and Pierce...Kobe and Wade couldn't do it without Shaq. Melo is the least of the Knicks problem. We have a bad roster, without Melo we become the worst team in the NBA by far.
We need to revamp this entire roster. If we have to trade Melo to do it, I don't mind. But this isn't Melo's fault.
