Knicks Get Melo: Did they give up too much?

If you had to pick any player in the league to be on your team right now who would it be?


I'd pick Rose. I think he's going to be the most accomplished player in the league once Kobe and Duncan retire. If he were 6'6" with the same athleticism he would be by far the best player right now.

I'd still take LeBron. Probably Durant next just because no one else his age comes close to the type of player he is.

Durant = Rachel Alexandra
LeBron = Perfect Drift

I'll clarify the Durant comparison...

He's already having knee trouble. It's not like he's carrying any weight right now. Don't see Oklahoma City winning and he's the type to re-sign with them.

He is already signed long term.

If they could pry Howard out of Orlando they would be a scary team. Have no bad contracts, strong role players, young team, top scorer, very good point guard, good defensively. With a defensive force like Howard with his new found post game they would be very tough to handle. But Howards ego is probably too big for Ok City. He would be perfect for Chicago if they can dump Boozer.

They are a low post scorer away from being a contender in the west. They could probably use another shooter as well but that isn't nearly as important as a low post threat.

I watched Chicago play the other night against the spurs when Rose went off for 40. I didn't see any holes on that team except maybe a perimeter player besides Rose that can get his shot in a halfcourt set. That team is young, athletic and deep. They are double figure odds right now to win it all. I don't see a compelling reason why they can't.

I dont know they need more shooting. They have under utilized Cook off the bench but he is more of a playoff type asset and he can only shoot. They have a problem with LA because they dont have enough size to counter both of the Lakers big men.

I'd take Lebron hands down and then I would probably take Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard is garbage. You can have that soft b.itch.

LeBron is clinically insane and chokes when it matters. You can have him too.

There's only one answer. It's the same one every gm in the world would give. LBJ.

Yeah if you have zero imagination and absolutely no idea how to judge heart.

He's a great athlete and a horrible person. It's not going to happen. Anything less than 3 championships and his career is a failure. And in my eyes he'll be lucky to get one 'ship.

He's a b.itch and should never be compared to the greats.
