I am taking Sap as it stands but put Melo in his best situation and I'll take Melo but that's not the case right now

Also,....
I notice nikkaz not bringing up melo coming back from injury as well.
Yet, keep bringing up every statistical number.
While ignoring all the important facts.
to what could be the reason why melo could be viewed as negative as he is on the coli.
It is just like people wanted to give big shot more props than ai in Denver when big shot only accounted for two more wins than the Ai small ball George Karl Denver team.
Which hampered denver's success all because Karl did not wnt to coach from a high IQ and high percentage bball basis.

People are giving melo shyt for the type of coaching he has had.
That has never fully coached up, ramped up nor put the accurate matchups on the floor for the NBA pro game.

Melo is having a way down season offensively. Not the same player you're thinking of and I'm afraid '14 was the last we've seen of him as a fringe superstar

Leonard = soft meek version of Steven Jackson meets Richard Jefferson plus sean elliot

Is a man coming back from surgery not allowed to ramp back up in his own time table for himself physiologically.

He is younger and more athletic

1 of the best perimeter and on ball defenders

But Better player? No

Cant believe people really think he's better then melo

Even had people saying he's better then kd

Like stop.. He's a nice young system player
You couldn't build a tm around him

Saying khawi better then melo

Is like saying marion was better then tmac...

I'm a melo fan (clearly) but the difference is Kawhi WINS.

U can't be serious.

And Melo isn't even have some fantastic season. He might be declining and guys here are like "Melo better because what he did 5 years ago"

Its March and he's still dealing with nagging knee issues. I'm not optimistic that he'll return to form

Right! One thing basketball fans tend to do is either be a prisoner of the past or be the prisoner of the present. They fail to look at the full scope of things. Melo, I don't think is what you would call on the decline as of yet, but he's not himself this season for a number of possible reasons.

my 2 favorite wingmen.

i have no horse in this race.

just came in to say that this is gonna be a re-curring thread for the next few years. its gonna get run more than the butler/leonard thread.

 

[ogc163]

I can't believe there are some people who believe melo is better than kawhi. I'm just waiting for this dude to request his trade out of NY, because this overrated ass nikka aint leading the Knicks anywhere.

Breh..
I semi respect ur BB opinions. . We had our LMA battles
But fam.. 2016 there's no question.
But you agree with this whole "Than he's ever been" shyt?

I kinda gotta stand my ground on this one. kawhi is still only 24, with a shytload of experience. he may never average 25 ppg, but dammit, his defense negates the 4ppg scoring that melo might get you. plus you simply cannot deny his efficiency.

what kinda SF shoots 48% from the 3 point stripe and 88% from the FT line outside of dirk???

but then again dirk was NEVER a lock down defender

 

[Art Barr]

Its March and he's still dealing with nagging knee issues. I'm not optimistic that he'll return to form

So, can we give the man props for his production with the knee injury.
That is still top tier and he is injured and been injured.

His scoring is down, but other aspects of his game has picked up. He's leading the team in ppg, rpg, & apg. So that shows he needs help or the narrative of him being just a scorer isn't true, especially for this season
