If you can build a team around Kevin Durrant, then you can build a team around Melo.
Melo needs a team that can play good defense and have consistant 2nd option. You an't rely on JR Smith as 2nd option and expect to go deep in the playoffs.

It won't matter who you put around him until he grows up and changes the way he plays
Ideally you'd want a floor general pg who will stand up to melo when needed (like how billups did) a spot up shooter at sg as well as a pf who can stretch the floor (and hopefully play defense) along with a banger in the paint for a center.
But it won't matter unless melo grows up and stops being so selfish and finds other ways to contribute to a game other than shooting

Jrue Holiday
Shump
Melo
David Lee
Noah (Healthy & motivated Howard or Bynum would be ideal)
I think a team like this could make some serious noise and is actually a believable team..add some shooters coming off the bench and some solid big men to defend the paint and rebound and this could be a formidable squad.
Honestly though to beat the Heat i think it would take CP3/Dwight along with an athletic/defensive PF and shooters, Melo could conceivably play a role on that team, and even be the go to scorer but Cp3 would have to be and obviously would be the floor general, which goes against the theme of building a team around Melo.

I feel like Melo and Iggy would work well together
I think Melo and Deng would too, small ball with Melo at the 4 Deng at the 3
So the problem is Melo or the coaching?
Both.
Imagine they could have lee, hill, gallo, and chandler instead of melo and Amare

i hate yall nikkaz
if you CANT build around melo then there are only 2 current players you can build around KD & Bron

So if you surround melo with four all stars, they'll be good?
I dont know, how'd that work out for the lakers?
Shumpert's not an All Star and if these guys played together they wouldnt have all made the All Star game, plus thats what it would take to beat Miami or Okc (both have 2 superstars, Mia currently has 3 all stars, Ibaka will get in soon so Okc will have 3 soon as well), I assumed we were talking about building a legitimate contender not just building any team around Melo cause in that case he already has an average team around him and what would be the purpose of the thread?
