Now back to Carmelo, I agree that he is not on LeBron's level. If I'm being honest, Kevin Durant is only one year of improvement from getting an MVP. Kevin Love was on his way to being one or two seasons out from it too before he got irresponsible about caring for his hands. If he had continued his ascent and taken Minnesota to the playoffs then the AP's obsession with crowning a white MVP would have taken him there... yeah, I said it.

I like kevin love! I hope he doesn't turn out to be a bust. I thought David Lee was going to be a walking double double when he left the knicks for golden state but he sort of fizzled out as well. Melo needs to improve on defense before anyone will crown him mvp. I want to see him average at least 7 assists while scoring and rebounding. I would still trade him if we could get the entire team we gave to the nuggets back plus tyson chandler. The team had a better flow back then. Not just 1 on 1 isolation plays. Rant done....
Mike Brown can't screw things up this time. Unless he benches Kyrie Irving and gets the death stare 0_o
