kinda not doable over the interweb, but I'd lay odds that Carmelo never wins the MVP award during his career.

Yeah, i was just expecting more out of him after what he showed this summer. He played unbelievably against the international competition but it just seems like hes missing the killer instinct, win it all costs mentality that players like Kobe have. LBJ appears to be developing this as well. Hes gonna be scary good over the next 10-12 years if he can stay healthy.

tuq,
No marquee wtf? Part of what makes Nash not MVP is that he doesn't play enough minutes and his scoring numbers are still inflated per/40 because of the fast paced offense.

IrishHand,
Player A has a 12 win team and makes them a 32 win team.
Player B has a 40 win team and makes them a 50 win team.
Who is better?

If the difference between 40 and 50 wins is the diff between not making playoffs and having a good chance to advance to 2nd round (well within the realm) then Player B.

Also, it's easier to have an large incremental win impact on a terrible team than a mediocre team. (though I have no clue if large is 5 wins, or 10 or more.)

Clark,
I agree with your second point and was going to post that, but forgot.

Let's rephrase it this way
You are a GM of a random team you have to pick player A or B, who do you pick?
