Melo deserves it, Durant doesn't. Durant is 23 has made it to the finals, he ran into the most dominant player of his era. Yeah LB is gonna be in his way for years but Wade got 2-3 years tops at the level that he is at now. Which will make Durants 26-27 once the Heat go on the decline IMO.
Melo on the other hand has only made it out of the first round once, and if my memory serves me correctly has been sweept all but 2 or 3 times. Yeah Stat is on the decline but here in NY nobody is gonna want to hear that BS. I'm not saying he gotta win it all next year...he definitely has to make a run though.
