I didn't post that they could. Just pointing out the pattern with Young and the Hawks is similar to other situations where a team and a star player parted ways.

You know, as well as I know, that...

Yeah trading Doncic away was a huge mistake, but Young is still really, really good. The Hawks haven't been terrible, they just haven't been able to take the next step and management has completely...

The Knicks have a good enough defense to cover for him. I still have some questions about this team, but that's one thing I'm sure of. It's almost too perfect.

Any team that tries to build around...

He hasn't been the same player.

It seems far-fetched right now, but I wouldn't be shocked if Trae Young tried to get out of Atlanta.

There were rumblings last year that he wanted a bigger market and that he was getting tired of...

Is Malik Monk finally turning a corner and being the player many thought he'd be?

I agree he wasn't on the level of those players. No one said he was. All of those players have legitimate cases for being top 20 or so players of all time. That can't be your criteria.

Again, to say that Melo had no impact on winning is ridiculous. He did not have a single losing season to his name until year 12. You bringing up Breen is exactly what me and others are telling you...

Melo played with better players, but he also played in the West. I don't think you truly understand how bad the Nuggets were since almost forever before then. If I'm not mistaken, that's still the...

Lol I just don’t like that his later years with Phil Jackson have overshadowed his career as a whole.

Some people think he’s a HOF’er because of college and FIBA, but his NBA career gets him in...

When LeBron left Cleveland they were already 7 years in. This was about their rookie seasons and your reply to the ROY race that year, which you don’t know much about.

No one in their right mind...

When did that start? 2009? You are honestly completely clueless about the impact Melo had early in his career.

It’s ok to say that you just don’t know or that you didn’t experience it first hand.

Yeah...you clearly didn’t watch them both that year. Let me guess...you went back and saw LeBron averaged over 5 assists per game their rookie season and came to that conclusion. A quick Google...

You would hope at some point that people would be like wow the Nuggets made the playoffs twice since 1990, with the last time being 1994, drafted Melo, became a perennial playoff team instantly,...

I forgot one more...

Literally be the only player to lead this joke franchise to a winning season in over 20 years and did it three times.

I wish he didn’t play for the Knicks because this is...

Being a first ballot HOF isn’t the same as just being a HOF. That in itself says something.

He’s not Mitch Richmond...

You need to go back and watch more basketball.

I’m not sure what your definition of legend is, but Melo just wasn’t some guy in the league.

I don’t think you were old enough to watch any of...

He’ll likely finish top 10 in scoring all time.
10x All Star
6x All NBA
Scoring champ
Top 6 in MVP voting twice, top 15 six times
Didn’t have a losing season or even miss the playoffs...

Yeah this is now a dumb argument. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

It’s clear that you’re just comparing numbers across eras and only viewing things from a lens of how the game is played...

That wasn’t the norm.

Paul Pierce had one season averaging 5 assist and averages .5 assists more than Melo for his career. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about by pointing out him or...

Yes a younger Ewing would’ve been capable. It just wasn’t required or needed.

This is almost like trying to make the argument that Jordan couldn’t shoot based on three point percentage and...

I don’t think some of them were even old enough to really watch and understand Melo in Denver either. Linsanity might be close to their oldest vivid memories as fans.

Melo came into the league in 2003. The game was completely different than what it is now. What you’re essentially doing is comparing an older Melo after the game started to change and using his...

The eras being different is a big reason why you’re seeing this. If you want to just look at Randle’s numbers in a vacuum and not apply any context, he, along with guys like Jokic and Sabonis, is as...
