What made me really excited is that when Melo would ask for a pick and the defenders would switch, it would switch from Tucker to Luch to CP3 or Ariza, that's a luxury we've never had, we've always relied on Ariza being our lock down wing defender. Dis gon be fun

I guess you are forgetting human nature. If Melo was an elite catch and shoot 3 pt shooter as you say how come he has developed a reputation for taking mid range shots and ISoing rather than shooting 3s? 42% from 3 is one of the best 3 pt %s ever, if he just focused on that then he would have been in the history books as a shooter so good he makes Ray Allen look like Dwight. Same with Paul George, if he was such a good 3 pt shooter how come in all those battles with Lebron back in Indiana he was always Iso-ing rather than catch and shooting? The reality is these two players might be ok with a spot up here and there but they still want the ball in their hands majority of the time. This is the difference in GSW because in GSW Klay Thompson is a dedicated spot up shooter while KD is also ok with off the ball so they don't have issues.

As for Westbrick OKC was ready to win way back when he had Durant but that didn't stop him from being a black hole, hence why KD left in the first place. And that's just with 2 guys, now you have 3 guys wanting the ball so I don't think it is gonna work out like you think it will. WB just got the MVP, rather than making him unselfish he is actually gonna become more selfish because OKC is HIS TEAM and he would want to repeat as MVP. Zebras don't change their stripes c'mon now.

Dude I'm not even wasting my time with you here anymore. With this bolded part you've basically said that CP3 and James can't work together because in the past they wanted ball in their hand for the majority of time. But I guess that does not apply for your Rockets
I'm just gonna make bold one part, but really this whole post you've made is a nonsence.

What is your definition of "making somebody better" ?

I believe he means WB 'scores a lot of points' and somehow that translates to 'making others better' (by watching)
