    So is this the kind of stuff ESPN is going to put out on a regular basis?

    Maybe they can merge with TMZ.

    TMZ actually has juicy stuff. ESPN just tries to make news out of non-news.

    Still don't think Carmelo as a 3rd option would have been bad.

    He puts up a lot of points on decent efficiency.

    Melo doesn't want to be here. But I would gladly take Tim Hardaway Jr and Iman Shumpert off their hands.

    YUP. This article is pretty funny - he wants to shed his reputation as a guy who is just selfish and wants lots of money .... by doing "business" and making billions of dollars...

    Does his ego allow him to be a "3rd option" or even the 3rd most heralded guy on the team?

    Phillip shouldn't have let Kerr go to the Warriors.

    Melo as a 3rd option would be a malcontent, demanding shots not grabbing rebs and lazing off on D. Yeah sorry not interested in this dude.

    Melo wants to be the next Kobe or MJ under Phil Jackson
    He had a chance to sign with the Bulls too and be on a winning team during the summer
    Melo is about "showing me the money" and his ego first. He's not about being 2nd or 3rd scoring option on a talented team

    Your stretch 4 is Carmelo Anthony.

    Our current stretch 4 is Donatas Motiejaunas.

    I think his point is, does Anthony want to play Motiejunas's role, setting picks and spotting up for the corner 3?

    Of course, he would not have been used like DMo. But then what would Howard be doing? Between Melo and Dwight, one of them would have to play the Bosh role. Would they be willing?

    With dwight missing all this time, Melo might have been alright.

    Na, Melo and Harden would go at it. If not on the court, in the locker room. I choose Harden over Melo.

    Melo told the press that he was the most underrated super star in the league.

    I LOLed.

    Per Grantland, Calderon has been getting the TChandler treatment from Melo and Amare is also unhappy.

    He is right, though. The scoreboard has been massively underrating him.
