Jesus Christ, this topic is an abomination.

No it wouldn't; Melo and Durant are different players in terms of both style and effectiveness.

Worst playoff percentage in history
No way

Try this.

Put Durant on the Knicks instead of Melo.

They wouldn't be a 7th seed, you can bet your house on that.

2nd round. Don't think they would have gotten past the Lakers. Actually, they probably would be the 4th seed and wouldn't get past the Spurs.

1st round exit

That's an incmplete claim though.

I think its the worst percentage for players that have played a certain number of games in the post season.

I'm pretty sure there must have been someone in NBA history that only made the playoffs once and got swept. That's a 0% playoff win percentage.

Melo has only been out of the first round once in his career.

So id say we'd lose in the first round with him

That's a bogus statement man. Melo took a lot of teams to the playoffs, and albeit he had a lot of first round exits, it's not like his teams are incapable of winning, he just didn't have enough help. And the one time that he did have enough help, he went to the WCF, and honestly the Nuggets could've won that series.

Anyways, if Melo was on the Thunder, IMO they would have lost to the Spurs in the WCF in like 6 games. Durant had an absolutely amazing series against the Spurs, and I don't think Melo, let alone anyone else in the league(besides Lebron) could have played as well as he played.

I believe that they wouldn't have had any trouble getting through the Mavericks, and maybe the Lakers give them a little scare, but definitely WCF IMO.

Hmm...let's see. General Board? Check. Topic about Melo? Check. Expected to see these responses? Check.

This topic and any topic about Melo that's posted here all ends up the same way...

Westbrook and Carmelo would the most cocky tandem in the league. One is all hyper-active and in your face, the other is more laid back cocky....perfect compliment to get under the nerves of ur opponent.

Almost as bad as if you subbed Westbrook for Rose. AKA the worst MVP in the history of the award and the guy who shot 39% in the playoffs in the past 2 post-seasons.

Are you saying replace Durant/Westbrook with Melo/Chauncey on OKC and that team makes the finals?

As the general board knows this for lebron, the bulls fans for rose, the thunder fans for westbrook, and the lakers fans for kobe

I know im missing more than a few here
