Swap LeBron & Melo. Which team goes further? Heat or Knicks?

[Rowe]

Title says it all.

Knicks:

PG - Raymond Felton
SG - JR Smith
SF - LeBron James
PF - Amare Stoudemire
C - Tyson Chandler


Heat:

PG - Mario Chalmers
SG - Dwyane Wade
SF - Shane Battier
PF - Carmelo Anthony
C - Chris Bosh


Which team would go further in the Playoffs?

Who wins in a 7 game series?

[IGotACoolStory]

The team without Melo.

Knicks, but I don't think either team makes the Finals.

In the East? Is Boston supposed to be better?

[StateOfMind12]

Heat lose in the 1st round
Knicks possibly make it to the Finals.


Why? Cause LeBron is superior to Melo in everything and by a lot.

The team without Melo.

Interesting.

So Wade/Melo/Bosh as a core is worse than LeBron leading this Knicks team who is allegedly full of "scrubs, a fat PG, & a terrible SG"?

[IGotACoolStory]

LeBron's done better with worse before.

You've been claiming the Knicks couldn't win with or without Melo because of the same players you see playing with LeBron, but now we've got the pieces to be a Championship contender?

RG your Melo trolling has got to the point where you're not even consistent with your "arguments". You were good a few years back with Dwight Howard but you're slipping as of late.

[Haymaker]

Knicks obviously. Melo will create locker room tension and he won't share the ball. The guy don't have the defensive impact of Lebron. Bron playing alongside a great defensive center like Chandler would be awesome. Kicking out the ball to Novak would be awesome too. Amare would get his fair share of passes too.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Heat. Wade would now be allowed to be Wade.

Lebron needs to be able to pass the ball to scorers, esp in the 4th quarter, and the Knicks don't have enuf.

I never said anything about Lebron so now you are just making stuff up.

I never said the Knicks had the pieces of a championship contender. I just said with Lebron they could make it to the Finals.

You realize that doesn't mean their championship contenders right? Unless you want to classify the 2007 Cavs, 2001-2002 Nets championship contenders.

I'm not trolling. Melo is inferior to Lebron at everything and I like how you accuse me of being someone else just because I don't like Melo. Why would I like some selfish overrated pha[COLOR="Black"]g[/COLOR]?

You're pathetic.

This is the first time I've heard this.

What do you think about Felton & JR Smith?

I was thinking it was for this past season. Its still possible.

[tmacattack33]

Heat would be pretty good. Wade would become batman and could do it. Melo would help with spacing. Defense would suffer though, as was would their fast break and passing.

Knicks would be good too.

Both would be very close to Boston's level if healthy.

[Nash]

Lebron took a 9 games Bosh-less team with an injured Wade to the championship. Last seasons Lebron would absolutely take the Knicks team to the finals.
