He still brought that horrible collection of talent to the finals. **** his Robin was Larry Hughes. Melo and Paul have never even made a finals.
Is LeBron the new standard that everyone must measure up to not the exception? To be fair the year that LeBron's team made the finals in Cleveland the East was very weak. Plus how can you singlehandedly take a team to the Finals and still "come up small"?

Melo has ALWAYS WON! He has never played on a team with a losing record ever! Winning the championship is an idiotic way of measuring individual players. Please show me a single team that Carmelo Anthony or Chris Paul was on that had a prayer of winning the title?

Fine. Melo is a champion and the best regular season player ever.

Lakers tank. Get a 1-4 pick. They sign Melo and Kobe is fully healthy. Then they get something legit for Gasol. That team would at least be competitive. Melo is a gunner, he proved it on 35 shots tonight. He might put up 50 sometime again soon. Who else is going to shoot for them Chuck? The Stallion is out, Amare is out. Who is supposed to shoot?

Hold on you say he is a gunner then you say who else is supposed to shoot because all these other guys are out? Which is it?

He isnt going to the Lakers. That is a pipe dream. Kobe is never going to be Kobe again. Gasol is a free agent so they probably wont be getting anything for him and will probably resign him.
