Obviously Bron wins because the other side wouldn't have Lebron. What exactly would Melo do that KD didn't do? KD had a hell of a series. It just so happens that one of the few guys who capable of outplaying him was on the other side and of course Harden didn't show up.
Would lebron or melo would have won with that thunder team that lost to the heat?

Nah, they lost that finals because you can't beat a healthy Heat team with low post players that can't score.
So, we are getting forget the horrendous phantom fouls called on Durant limited his playing time, and the miss called that would have given the Thunders to go to OT in game 2 and have a 2-0 on the heat. Durant went through all of this and still scored 30 pts on 50% and you think Carmelo could do better.

I like Melo and all but I dont think it would have helped OKC beat the Heat. I'd be concerned with 
and Melo meshing.
Durant was scoring pretty efficiently throughout the series
Obviously if LBJ isn't playing on the Heat then OKC wins

You talking the same game where Durant should have fouled out earlier because Battier drew a charge on him but the refs didn't call it?
Melo won the same number of games against the Heat in the playoffs that year as Durant
If you gave him that OKC team instead of a Knicks squad missing Stoudemire, Shumpert, Lin, Baron Davis, and Tyson Chandler with the flu...I feel pretty confident in saying it'd be a closer series atleast

True, but the whole series durant was getting called for most ridiculous fouls. Most of those fouls were some petty touch fouls, not fouls drawn by Lebron or anybody else.

KD played well so putting melo instead of him wouldnt have helped. heat won because they are basically a better version of the thunder with more consistent outside shooters.
