Melo could have 2+ rings right now, and be considered in the same light as Kobe. Instead he goes to the Nuggets and Knicks, and gets called a chucker.

Yep,I agree. I think his biggest mistake was the larry brown thing. It is larry brown and everyone know how larry is always looking at something else,but that dude culd coach. After that,his head coaching choices were bad. I didn't like the smith/jennings signings,but it was made worse by hiring cheeks. If hollins or karl were the coach,that team would've won 45-50 games despite the quirky roster.
