Hmm... Lakers could still go far, but I don't know if they win it all. Not sure how Melo fits in the triangle offense. He's not the passer Bryant is. He's not even the scorer Bryant is either.
[QUOTE=fpliii]Magic? :D[/QUOTE]
I'm more willing to overlook his defensive deficiencies if he is leading them to championships :D
[QUOTE=Hey Yo]I agree......that's why Tragic Johnson is extremely overrated.[/QUOTE]
I don't think he is top 5 ever, but top 10 yes he should be.
[QUOTE=Lebronxrings]wow a [b]decent post[/b] by you.[/QUOTE]
Still waiting to see your first :oldlol:

Yep close enough, Lakers still win if they switched teams.
Wins both chips easily and win another in 11 for three peat. Challenges MJ for goat position :bowdown:
Lose both. Melo is not a good playoff performer.

Yeah he's not good, he's best :applause:
[QUOTE=Hey Yo]Nothing changes, except Melo is clear cut 2010 FMVP and Pau isn't in the discussion.
Melo B2B Finals wins and 2X FMVP[/QUOTE]
Title in 2009 and probably lost to Phoenix in 2010.

If Melo joins the Heat, expect me to make retroactive arguments as to why Melo has always been better than Kobe.

So Melo played almost as good against other competition.. And Kobe murked him head to head. Denver had a very good team around melo and it wouldn't have been enough to overcome Kobe taking over games way more than melo could.
It'd be like if you switched MJ and Clyde's teams.. Clyde would have a better second option now and MJ would have the more balanced stacked team but MJ would still crush Clyde and Portland would win
