I don't think most players are worth their max contract and I find most of them ridiculous. Lebron doesn't even have a max contract, which means Melo sure the hell shouldn't. Nigga is one dimensional player and failed to do even well on that side of the court last year.

LeBron choosing to take less money to team up with 2 other superstars is completely irrelevant to whether Melo is or isn't worth a max contract. Melo is a top 10 player, and is worth a max contract. It's not really Carmelo's fault that the Knicks are a horribly constructed team

[Red Viper]

Melo is not a top 10 player. Absolutely not. Zero percent chance that he is in my mind.

Kobe
Lebron
Dwight
Durant
Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Kevin Love
Derrick Rose
Westbrook
Wade

are ten guys I'd easily take over Melo. Yes, Wade had a bad year, but even his bad year was better than Melo's.

[Notorious]

To be honest Melo's play after Woodson took over was much better than Wade's play at any point last season.

However, I still take Wade over Melo.

A player should not have to be over reliant on isos to play well.

Says the guy who thinks Westbrook & Rose are better than Melo

[Red Viper]

neither of those two rely on Isos, what are you talking about.

Melo also averaged LESS points than Westbrook even though he was the FIRST option unless Westbrook who was the second option. So what exactly does Melo have on Westbrook? Certainly not defense considering Westbrook is one of the best guard defenders in the league as well as one of the best rebounding PGs.

lmao, yea, Rose and Westbrook aren't iso players. You are sooooooo right. Melo is a much more well rounded and efficient scorer than Westbrook. Westbrook is just a chucker who runs hot and cold with his jumper. He will win his teams some games, and lose his team some more. If he weren't playing next to the best offensive player in basketball in KD his flaws would be much more apparent if team's were more able to design their defensive game plan to shut him down.
