You can replace him with any other player in the league except Lebron. Who could replace him and do better and why?
I heard this on the radio last week. It's purely hypothetical and I could come up with none. Your not adding any other players to this hypothetical it's solely a one for one swap.
melo gets abused by the refs, the whole knicks team gets abused by them actually...i personally didnt think that JR deserved a flagrant 2, that play looked like a hard foul more than anything...and lets try and get some help for melo next season...he cant do it alone, lebrons got wade and bosh, durants got westbrook and ibalka/martin, melos got, JR and felton??...thats laughable
we need to snatch one of those big contracts teams are unable to keep due to cap , anything is better than an always injured amare
This thread is not a get help to melo thread. This thread is for anyone that feels another player can do better with this team than Melo.
If someone else takes Melo's place they could do better as the centerpiece. Who are these people that would make the Knicks better as this team is presently constructed.

I see that people are saying Durantula but I dont see where anyone is saying anything substantial that says that Durantuala would help this team more. It cant be the extra couple of points or the extra FT's that would make this team better by his addition.
Are there any other players that people feel could do better with this team than Melo?
Melo's strength is putting up points, so there is a host of players whom when given 20 shots a game could easily put up 28 with better efficiency.
His rebounds are comparable to his position, and his assists are average.
Durant, Harden, Steph, Curry, Westbrook, Kyrie, Kobe, Wade just to name a few.
The only reason why i put Durant first is because no matter how people view him, the dude can score.
And he has ref respect to draw fouls and such comes in handy as well.
I dont care about versatility in scoring, a play could have one move only but if they are elite in scoring that way, i take that....put the ball through the hoop more than you miss.
I also picked those guys because they do more on the court consistently than just scoring.

So Durant, Harden, Steph, Curry, Westbrook, Kyrie, Kobe, Wade can do better with this team. Interesting. So I'm curious is this significantly better?
melo would be scoring 5-10 more points a night with durant whistles
Totally irrelevant to this thread. This is about NO Melo and I am asking about what other players would you take instead of Melo that would make this team better....
