Barely but probably YES

LeBron, Durant, and Kawhi are clearly better now.

You can argue Paul George is just as good if not better

Butler, Giannis, Paul Millsap and Wiggins aren't better yet (yet) but many GMs would pick them over Melo at this stage of his career

So he's still top 5 SF now but there are a lot of young studs knocking at the door. He can forget about top 5, 10, (or event argue )top 15 overall player , tho. That ship sailed
milsap is a pf and been in the league like 10 years, how he was categorized with those guys i dont know.

I think Melo's worst enemy is himself...when your game is so damn predictable you become less of a threat.

When he has the ball, you can tell when he isn't thinking about passing....his body language gives away.

He would be so much more of a threat if he didn't give into his offensive impulses and just read the defense better.

I wouldn't take Melo over Gordon Hayward or MKG at this point


Seriously the Knicks defense is so bad that MKG is an upgrade over Melo on the Knicks right now.

Was Melo ever a top 3 small forward at any point in his career? :patrice:

In the first half of his career LeBron, Pierce and Tmac were clearly better. Then Durant came in the picture. By the time Pierce stop being elite Paul George and Kwahi took over the 3rd and 4th spots . :manny:

Are you crazy? :what:

He was easily top 3 from 2008-2013 :what:

Kawhi has really magnified carmelo's lack of defensive skills

This can be said about 90% of NBA players

Coach is already calling the team out by not getting Kristaps (our best player) the ball during mismatches.

LMAO @ him being top 5. I just hope the Knicks can fool a team in taking him at this point.

KP is not the Knicks best player.....

hes a simp literally

stayed in New York because his fukkin wife didnt want to move :what:

next thing you know LaLa is taking her top off for 50's show while Melo is sitting at home, watching Lebron dominate in the playoffs, Melo's only companion being Porzingas

if he went to a decent team and started winning maybe his wife wouldn't have went and show the world her t*ts

Hes stunting the growth of KP. Phil need to do thebright thing and trade him to Houston for some complimentary pieces to KP.

Him and Noah for Capella, Ryan Anderson, Harrell and Corey Brewer:lolbron:
