    On our team Carmelo would be way more efficient than he was on OKC. Stop it. Between the 2 players one of them will be in the Hall of Fame and the other will not be there.

    You melo dissers are so unrealistic to how bad y’all make him. Yes he shot bad on a team that shoots bad shots. By that logic Westbrook is just as bad.

    He has an aresenal of weapons and has the ability to score 20-30 points. He’s done it many times, he’s also a willing rebounder. His defense could improve but on rockets he could buckle down more with teammates he can rely on. He’s getting worse abd he’s aging it’s no secret but he’s not Vince Carter bad yet but what he’s only got like 2 years of 15+ ppg game type play

    With that I would not want him unless it was a last resort and a ryno replacement

    and you can easily tell who hasn't watched melo play as of recent enough. arsenal of weapons, absolutely not.

    so if his excuse is he shot bad on a team that takes bad shots. what's pg13 excuse then for shooting +40% from 3pt. or would he shoot way better on a better team. is that how it works.

    Why am I even debating with you? You really think Ryno is better than Melo.

    PG13 is in his prime that would be the main difference. No one is arguing melo has lost a few steps. I’m just saying he’s not the bum people make him out to be and could still help if he put his ego in check. That said he’s overpaid but it’s better then Anderson’s since he would be off our books the following year


    And I’m sorry average players can’t do what he does, he’s obviously got a lot of shaqtin moments but he’s still valuable. ryno only dreams of doing half of that.

    i couldn't care less who is better. I care about what makes this team better. Melo's faults doesn't make this team better. its self explanatory if you're actually reading posts. all this debate about individuals is meaningless. I care about how a player fits onto this actual team and what they can bring to the table

    oh theres plenty of people arguing that. hes a pretty bad player at this point of his career that thinks hes 10 years younger

    since you edited your post. you can literally lookup a highlight video on any player in the nba. it doesn't prove anything

    Ryno disappeared in the playoffs and he did not help our team when it counted most. #Facts

    Melo sucked in the playoffs and helped his own team lose in the 1st round to a rookie #facts

    It shows that he has the ability and aresenal of moves. He’s not terrible but he’s not old Melo but he’s ultimately better then ryno in almost every aspect

    Ryno didn't even play in playoffs this year. Go look at the stats homie. In fact the Rockets tried to trade Ryno for Carmelo. I think the Houston Rockets would side with me on this. #Facts

    Stats show that Ryno played garbage time in the playoffs. He played 8mpg and averaged 1.7 ppg. The numbers don't lie.

    Yet I bet you cheered for Gerald Green. Next thing you'll say is Green is better than Melo.

    stats show melo should of played in garbage time bc he helped okc lose. especially in okc elimination game 5. he was on the bench where he belongs, no wonder they ended up winning. there's an endless amount of melo material. you're welcome to continue this as long as you want. he'll still suck no matter what you say

    big difference bw GG and melo though. he knows his role and doesn't b**** and whine. Green provides a spark off the bench. Melo does not. he'll just sulk when hes on the bench

    I see that you just want the last word. You don't really care about the whole truth. You got it.
