I am hardly the worlds biggest Carmelo Anthony fan and am well aware of his positives, negatives, strengths and limitations. I'm not 100% convinced that they would be better off starting over from scratch. But this ridiculous notion that he isnt one of the ten best players in the world or "cant win" is misguided at best and asinine at worst.

Carmelo Anthony defending the post is like Bill Russell compared to Harden defending pretty much anything.
I don’t think its ridiculous at all saying Melo isn’t a top 10 player. Not at all. And he has won nothing in the NBA, so Im not sure why you continuing make this bad argument. Ill name 10 that are better than him today.

Lebron
Durant
Westbrook
Curry
Harden
Howard
Paul
Griffin
Aldridge
George
Love
That’s 11 that I take no questions asked.
Ill name a few more who are borderline.

Davis
Cousins
Irving
Lillard
Wall
Lee
Parsons
Hayward
Clearly Im saying all things considered. Age, money etc….

This is a joke right?

Carmelo Anthony is averaging 27 points and 9 rebounds and 3 assists a game.

On 45% shooting, 42% on 3's.

Yeah Gordon Hayward is better...

Melo will be 30 this year. He is a no defense gunner who no one really even wants anymore and rumor is La La is making the decisions in his family anyway.
Gordon is 23 and makes much less, so like I said all things considered, and Hayward was not on the 100% better list.

Anthony has scored 22 points more than Aldridch this season despite taking 60 fewer shots.

Gordon Hayward is averaging 11.5 points a game for his career. He is averaging 17 a game this year with a shooting % considerably worse than Anthony. You should slap yourself in the face for this comparison.

Best PF in the game, but we have to get you to start learning his name...Aldridge lol. Your Knicks fandom is showing with all the Cole references in this thread.

Big Country lol. I saw him play opening night against the Sonics up in Vancouver his final year in the league. Him, Ostertag and Cherokee Parks and George Zidek in the same draft...talk about a center heavy draft.

That would be A LOT of water. Big Country was miles and miles better than Cole Aldrich will ever be.

Griffin
Hardon
Aldridge
Love
George
Davis

Parsons
Hayward

or in other words your entire list outside of LeBron

About the only benefit of being a Knick fan is that they have the best TV guys by far in Breen and Clyde Frazier. There are some brutal analysts out there.

I thought you were going to say that you have some decent young guys in Shumpert and Hardaway. I would want no one else on that roster, no one. Not even Tyson. He is turning into a big baby, and he never developed any type of offensive game.

Hardaways last two games...
12 for 22. Average of 17ppg. Two Knick wins.
Being around Melo though, no good for this kid.
He has had a total of 2 assists in those two games.
