Christ, the guy carried SU on his back (his SORE back) to a national 'ship. If the Knicks had any way to get him, they'd jump at him in a minute. A star. Spend more time watching him...not reading about him.

did you actually say that?..or was that a typo.....

yea melo was a beast in college, but this is the NBA not college where more than half of the players dont make it to the NBA

the question wasnt will carmelo get the max deal

THE QUESTION WAS "IS CARMELO WORTH A MAX DEAL!!!!!" and so far only one person answered that with a NOOOOOOO

props to thekid for answering with his opinion

carmelo stinks. sorry but he really does, he's not worth a max deal. the only reason there was so much hype around him was because he came into the league with lebron. personally, i wouldn't even want him on my team. he's so overrated its not funny.

I agree the guy is overrated and nothing special. There are 30 guys in the league in his position as good.

The Nuggets should ship him for some lottery picks.

i dont think so

He is good but not a max player yet. He hasn't shown that he can carry a team for a stretch in the NBA. He'll get it, but he doesn't deserve it. I look at the following as max players (and I'm not trying to list them all, just some): TMAc, Kobe, Garnett, Wade, AI, Dirk, Duncan, Shaq, Jermaine, Amare.

He is in the next tier: Melo, Bosh, Yao, Brand, Nash, Webber, Hamilton, Billups, Kidd, Marbury (some of these guys are here cause they got a little age/injury on them).

i dont think hes overrated that much,but hes worth a max deal.
so far,hes a great scorer and avg in everything else.a lot of players who hav max deals hav that type of talent.the scary thing is,hes still very young.

He'll get the max, sure. But he isn't worth a max contract..
