Team up with other great players at the tail end of his prime.
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?

:heh:

Pierce had no say in the matter. Luck of the draw.

Or he could just team up with other players via free agency.

I hate to say it but he ain't winning one anytime soon so he's gonna be waiting either way.

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.

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.

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.

That's not accurate, because Pierce pretty much gave the front office an Ultimatum that he'd demand a trade if they didn't do whatever it took to bring in some more talent.

How much slander has :dwillhuh: gotten 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? :pachaha:

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.

To be fair Melo didn't really catch any criticism until this year. He's gotten his share passes too.
