Imagine in this hypothetical that Lebron doesn’t exist and by 2014 KD is a young GOAT. In this scenario, Melo goes to Miami instead of Lebron, do you think they win any titles? I was talking to a friend about this and I think they would be lucky to get one in 2011 but it would be tough for them to even beat the bulls. After that I think they don’t get out of the East and even if they do, the Thunder and Spurs would beat them.
I mean, maybe if they worked out unexpectedly well as a team. From just a standpoint of overall productivity, Carmelo is not comparable to LeBron. In fact, I think Carmelo is one of the most overrated players of all time.
