I'll take Deron Williams over Melo on any team, even if my SF combo is Sasha/Luke
Melo: Better scorer, rebounder.
DWill: Better at basically everything else.
Do you disagree? Williams is (was) an MVP candidate, plays better D, and makes his teammates MUCH better when he's on the floor. He carried a pretty bad Utah team and had them at the 5th seed in a pretty tough West before the wheels fell off. When's the last time Melo put a team on his back for any length of time?
Chad Ford agrees with you.

Amazing. One day after Knicks beat Nets for Melo, Nets trump Knicks deal by landing DWill ... Williams > Melo
I do wonder if the Nets will be able to keep him after 2011-12. He'll have plenty of suitors, particularly the Knicks. Lakers and Mavericks would be interested too but will have to manipulate a trade since they wouldn't be able to afford him outright as a free agent.
Has SBNation been down today or is it because of the D Will trade. Huh, didn't see that coming. Now they have no Sloan and no D Will.
you mention scoring and rebounding as if Melo being significantly better in both areas isn't a big deal.
And yeah, Williams makes his teammates better just like Nash, Paul, Westbrook, Stockton and Rose. How many championship did them "making their teammates better" lead to?
Nice move from the Nets. Do people still feel sorry for them?.
Now that that ballhog Devin Harris is out of the way and the Nets now have a real point guard, the Machine can really get his 20-30 points anytime he wants to.
How many SFs who only score, don't know how to pass, and don't even know that defense is part of the NBA have ever led their teams to a le?
You act like Melo has a le lined up by going to the Knicks.And
at listing 22 year old Derrick Rose as an example of point guards that haven't won les.

Larry Bird
Larry Bird didnt know how to pass ?
Melo is pretty garbage, poor man version of Durant. Completely gets owned by LeBron.
Rich man version of Rudy Gay/Danny Granger. Not as clutch as The Truth and plays tier defense than Iggy.
Seriously, Melo is not that good.
and if Houston would have gotten him, you'd be on here talking about how he's a top 10 player in the league.
lol Rockets 2nd seed
Just shut up
bird was a vua passer
truth
Deron > Melo. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Better rounded, younger, cheaper, better defender, and he makes his teammates better.
Well if we're going to go back THAT far...![]()
