It was an elite supporting cast for any superstar..
Better than Bron's.
Better than Dwight's.
Better than Wade's.
Better than Kobe's.
Better than Dirk's.
Better than Deron's.
Better than Paul's.
-->problem was Melo was worse than all those guys.
Only superstars with better teams were Garnett and Duncan.

If Denver were in the East, they would have been a top 3 seed almost every year, and Melo would have multiple Conference Finals appearances.
West 8 seed >>> East 4 seed.

Prolly.. thats why Bron's runs get so overrated. Imagine Melo.. or Kobe.. or Dirk getting to face the Washington Wizards and old Detroit Pistons deep in the playoffs every year. What a joke.
I wish it was 1 through 16 bracketing.. so gay how players get inflated due to conference. Melo still has to step up his overall game though to have a impact on par with the true superstars hell be facing. Hes fallen way off pace with bron durant wade etc.

Yep, this. I like how the top heavy teams in the East get a relatively easy path to the finals.

Good thing Melo is in the east now, the first round is his for the taking.

Maybe if they get home court in the first round but that is no given. They could be looking at 3rd or 4th in their division.

Honestly, there's no excuse for the Knicks not to have HCA this upcoming season. They should even be favored to win their division over Boston and Brooklyn. Boston is old and just lost Allen, the Nets are a brand new experiment. And we know Philly was a fluke during the first half of last season.
I don't care how bad their bench is, a roster of Amare, Melo, Chandler, Shumpert, JR Smith, Kidd, Felton and with or without Lin is good enough to finish in the top 4.

Not too smart Melo. It's not his business on who deserve the money or not. Did any players question the ridicules money he makes also?
