If Melo had a Center like Hibbert who is an elite rim protector and is actually worth a dime on offense, David West down low as well, (David West next to Melo would be an ideal fit) along with the defensive, less ignorant version of Jr Smith in Lance Stephenson & Luis Scoal coming of the bench I think Melo would have a better chance than playing with Jr Smith as his second option.
How is he supposed to take his team to the finals when his 2nd option is considerably worse than the two best teams in the East 3rd option?
He's never missed the playoffs, and when he was finally given something to work with he led that team to the WCF puttin up 27/6/4 2 steals on 45% and lost to the eventual champion Lakers..
His last game he put up 45/10/4 on 57% and his team still lost..

It is hella true though. If you switched Paul George and Carmelo the Pacers would be as good, if not better. Carmelo did alright with a semi decently good team in Denver that one year. His problem is that he doesn't know how to find good players to play with. He always has a bunch of old, or useless knuckleheads as his players. Any team that has to rely on J.R Smith is not going anywhere ever.

This this and more this.
Dude is just too inconsistent and isn't good enough in any other areas to make up for it.
