Ding dong the witch is dead. New ownership got Don Nelson to quit. Thank god. New coach Keith Smart has never proven anything, but at least it's a start. He'll probably only be in his job for a year before they find a more permanent replacement.
I want to hear a compelling argument on how Amare/Melo/Paul is better than any of the elite teams in the east...
Amare/Melo/Paul along w/ Felton?/ and whomever is there doesnt have to be elite to at least get to the Playoffs. I dont think it should be viewed as some instant championship team if this actually happens.
.
Melo's been to the playoffs 7 years in a row w/ Denver. Like you said. This is my point. If he can't do it here with a team that was built around him, how's he gonna do it with the run & shotgun with fewer defenders around him in a conference that is more known for defense (or, at least was)?
I don't think anybody would be looking at a Knicks team as an instant champ team, and since that is obvious, why would Melo want to go there? To me I just think he would be setting himself back. I don't know. At the same time, if the Nuggets FO can't make a damn deal to get him some help, why the hell shoudl he stay...

And here's this 11 year old with some nice handles.
Jordan never practiced like this (disclaimer: not implying anything but)
You can play for a brilliant Russian gazillionaire who will probably do what it takes to build a good team around you.
Or you can play for James Dolan.
It's not even close.
U follow the sport?
U betcha.
