Shh!!! Don't give them any ideas!!!I don't see Andre Miller fitting into Sixers rebulding process. They should trade him soon. Trade Miller to lakers for some expiring contracts and the western conference will turn into a nightmare.
AI is the veteran and wants to win, he will defer but there will be games where he is the star and games where melo is the star.
It gives the Nuggets options beyond belief now
It wil work out, it will just take time

He is going to have to but he hasn't had to before. The question is will he? No one knows for sure. If he is truly all about winning though, its a no-brainer.AI is the veteran and wants to win, he will defer but there will be games where he is the star and games where melo is the star.
Chemistry is overrated.

2001 Lakers. And in 2003, Kobe averaged 30 with Shaq at 27.5.
And when was the last time a team averaged 110 ppg with essentially two primary offensive weapons?
yeh. Melo would rather a le than the scoring le. You would hope Ai would defer but itwill vary night to night.
Walker and Williams knew their roles and accepted them....that is good chemistry.Chemistry is overrated.

For Nuggets fans, I hope so. I like Melo's game but having watched him since College, I have yet to see anything closely resembling a team first at ude.yeh. Melo would rather a le than the scoring le. You would hope Ai would defer but itwill vary night to night.
Chamberlain and West. Shaq and Kobe. Bird and McHale came close I believe.
And don't forget about the Nuggets. I remember freakin' Michael Adams and Orlando Woolridge both averaging in the high 20's.
And AI and 'Melo were teammates here, too.
On paper this looks very good for Denver. But when the chemistry question is raised, consider..........
1. How will AI like playing for George Karl?
2. How will Melo like seeing the ball a lot less?
3. Is Denver an AI kinda of town?
Would JR Smith be the odd man out? Seems Denver needs some playmaking, though I suppose Smith is worth more than Beno Udrih as this point.
Good point.

Melo and LBJ barely got off the bench
yup...And don't forget about the Nuggets. I remember freakin' Michael Adams and Orlando Woolridge both averaging in the high 20's.
Woolridge 25.1
Adams 26.5

I can't find a Nuggets team that had two players at 28+, but they always had 3 or 4 high scorers.
people seem to think JR wont like this. He isnt going anywhere and he loevs it in Denver.
He doesnt need the ball that much and has been just as happy when the nuggs win and he hasnt scored much.
as ducks said, it will only get ugly if they are losing
JR is going to get a ton of open looks.
I added that as an aside. I mean they WERE teammates after all.^^^

But my main point there was that chemestry is NOT overrated.
That's what I'm hoping on. Phil has mad Miller wood.I don't see Andre Miller fitting into Sixers rebulding process. They should trade him soon. Trade Miller to lakers for some expiring contracts and the western conference will turn into a nightmare.
Perhaps the most important fact lost in this shuffle is that AI is on a fantasy team that I inherited after my brother kicked a guy out of a league. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
SAS will see AI in town more times, is that good?
It's not a question of what he likes, it's a question of what works for the team. Smith is not a distributor and never will be. The question is whether the old Aaron McKie/Kevin Ollie format may work better in the backcourt alongside Iverson. If you can get someone to facilitate the offense, JR is expendable. You don't need shooting at this point, you need a point guard. And don't tell me AI is your point. He gets great assists, but you don't want the ball in his hands all the time. You need someone to divide between Melo and him.
He doesnt need the ball that much and has been just as happy when the nuggs win and he hasnt scored much.
There are now 7 teams in the West that are probably better than the best team in the East.
