Countdown to Armageddon
Melo's best chance to win a ring is to go the Paul Pierce route. I don't see him winning one while the Heat are still here.

And what is the Paul Pierce route?
You mean sit and wait for your team's GM to pull off huge trades to bring you two great, perfectly complimentary players so you can win? Is that the ROUTE that Melo should TAKE?Team up with other great players at the tail end of his prime.

Pierce had no say in the matter. Luck of the draw.
K but that's not the Paul Pierce routeOr he could just team up with other players via free agency.

So you just want to talk in circles then?Teaming up with other great players who are also at the end of their prime is.
Bonner... I'm worried for the Heat...
Durant is ONLY 24
So you just want to talk in circles then?
Call it the Lebron route or the Garnett route or something. Pierce been a Celtic his whole career.
Yes and that was all the decision-making and dealing of the front office. That's my point, you can't give Melo advice like "you'll have to go the Pierce route" when Pierce didn't actually play any part in teaming up with KG and Ray.I couldn't care less if he was a Celtic his whole career. The point is he teamed up with other great players at the end of his prime.

How much slander hasgotten though? The Nets just copped a first round L to a team missing it's two best players and I haven't heard much slander.
So the Nets lost a game 7 at home to a banged up team and you didn't hear the slander?
Deron is Melo's age and has NEVER up to this point got the same criticism despite folks wanting to call him a top 3 PG in the game.
