Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

So would you trade Batum for Carmelo in a deal?

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

absolutely. I would trade anyone on the team for him, including LMA. Melo is better than anyone on this team

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

That makes 1 of you.

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

to each their own. He is the most versatile scorer in the league. He's not as good a shooter as durant but he has a well refined post game and score from any where in whatever fashion is needed. He's one of the biggest mismatches in the league. Pair him with Stotts and he's a very strong MVP candidate and averaging over 30 a game. While LMA is in the conversation as MVP this year he isn't really in the conversation with Durant and LeBron. Melo would be if he was on a winning, championship caliber team.

Doesn't know how to play within a team oriented offense. Is a high volume shooter that can't play defense for a lick. I'll take the best PF in the game over him, any day of the week. Thank you very much.

I call B.S. Look at him on Team USA, he plays great team ball when the players around him are able. He's the best player on his team by a mile. The top 5 paid players on the team are:
Amar'e Stoudemire 21,679,893
Carmelo Anthony 21,388,954
Tyson Chandler 14,100,538
Andrea Bargnani 11,862,500
J.R. Smith 5,565,000
How is he supposed to make that team better? That is just as bad or worse than any of the teams LeBron had in Cleveland but no one wants to acknowledge that. Melo is shooting 44% from the field and 42% from 3 on .1 shots more than LaMarcus this year while averaging .2 more assists per game than LaMarcus. He's getting 8.9 rebounds a game as well, which is 2 more a game than LeBron and 1 more a game than Durant. Melo may not be the best defender in the league but he is still only averaging .1 less spg than LeBron and gets .4 bpg more than him as well (both are under 1/game.) Melos assist % is 15.4, nearly 2% better than LMA.

Carmelo plays 0 Defense.

Nuff said.

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

He'd fit right in with our team concept

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

would you if you were on that team? I wouldn't blame him at all if he's given up on those scrubs.

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

Carmelo can dominate at the PF position though.

 

Re: Shaq says 4 players can be considered for MVP and Aldridge is one or the 4 player

at the 3 or 4. He's too big for most SF and too quick for most 4s. He is a great small ball 4.
