The best player provides the most value.




You replace LeBron with the league average SF then the Heat are still the top seed in the East.

You replace Carmelo with the league average SF then the Knicks are a 40 win team hoping for the 8th seed.

Furthermore, the Knicks are better than the Heat when both stars are on the bench. This isn't based on my opinion, but based on the actual numbers when both are off the court.



Context. Stats tell very little of the story.

When Lebron is off the court, the Heat get outscored.

When Melo is off the court, the Knicks outscore their opponents.

Right there, you can stop with the Melo is more valuable talk. You can't argue around that one.

Just because Lebron's team would be better doesn't make him more valuable.

Lebron's team would go from overwhelming title favorite to not winning a title. That's value.

This kind of reasoning is so painfully stupid. As someone just said, it's the MVP award for the entire NBA. I'm going to get you banned again if you don't calm down with the trolling bro

the Knicks are built for Carmelo. full of guys who play defense, rebound, do the dirty work, and dont need shots on offense. The Knicks win 10 games more with the king instead of melo.
