OT: Is CARMELO worth a MAX deal??

I absolutely think not.....

1. He isnt a good defender

2. Isnt known as a good rebounder

3. doesnt dish out assists....he'd rather look for his shot first

personally i think he is a very selfish player.....i remember in his rookie year when coach took him out of a game for not rebounding and when the coach wanted to put him back in the game he refused.....He also is always preaching about self accomplishments about "Im going to be an allstar this year", you shouldnt have to dedicate your game to becoming an allstar...your game should speak for itself!.....i think the only thing he has going for him and the only reason why a team would give him a max is because he has a very marketable name......people would go out and buy his jersey like crazy because of all the lebron vs carmelo hype........i think thats why he's so famous he should be thanking lebron!.....i would offer bosh a max before i would ever give one to carmelo

Compare him to what other guys got this offseason. Max deal is a sure bet

You guys don't know squat about 'melo

The guy does what he is told and his primary job is to score, not play pg. He is one of the better rebounding sf in the league, especially considering he is on the perimeter on both D and O quite a bit. He defense has been so-so but is improving. He is a great scorer, an unselfish passer, and a gifted all-around young player. At his age, there are not many who can command more. 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.

Re: OT: Is CARMELO worth a MAX deal??

Hes a scorer, he reminds me of a more athletic Mark Aguire. He is average rebounder and defender at best. In todays day and age of contracts that will undoubtedly get him a max deal.

think of it this way, the bucks gave michael redd the max. Im sure if denver refuses to give into carmelo's demands, there will be other teams that will jump at the opportunity to land him.

Re: OT: Is CARMELO worth a MAX deal??

If I was Melo's agent I'm sure I would say K-Mart got a max deal, and Melo has been the better player. I'm still waiting for K-Mart to live up to that 90 million + deal. Any day now.. Kenyon, any day now.

kmart is a product of jason kidd. Without him, kenyon is just another average player who has received a max contract because of managements poor decision making.

He deserves it because he is very marketable, and Coach Karl has even taught him how to play a little bit.
