kc,

I don't really disagree with that I guess, or the notion that he's ranked too high.. I'm just not sure that directly relates to what sethypooh said, unless I'm misunderstanding what he means by "mediocre team" guy. Yeah, he's a bit of a chucker and doesn't hit the boards, but he's still a solid scorer and on the right team could be a big addition.

Also, as somebody who suffered through Karl's sonics teams, I recall a somewhat insitutational disinterest with "rebounding" and "defense" and "players under 39".

I'm not suggesting that Melo is a mediocre teammate, I'm suggesting that he's going to be on mediocre teams. He takes up too much cap space and too many possessions for what he gives you. That combination is fairly deadly to building a true contending team around him.
