Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2163564, member: 2458"] True. I think back earlier in his career he did something different than Lebron and Bosh did(either took an extension, or didn't exercise an opt out clause), that made him miss out on being a FA in summer of 2010. Instead, he would've become a FA in summer 2011. Could've been Lebron and Melo teaming up with Wade. Melo missing out on that and then Amare's body falling apart basically elimanated any chance of a title team being built around him. The Knicks had a great, overachieving 2013 season around peak Melo, but come playoff time the entire supporting cast sucked. Chandler got badly outplayed by Hibbert, JR Smith was a complete mess, and Jason Kidd(just two years removed from starting for the champion Mavs) nearly went 0- for the playoffs from the field. Too bad. They could've beaten Indiana and got to the ECF. Would've been heavy underdogs, but who knows? [/QUOTE]
