KingDavid wrote:The obvious choice, even then, was Melo. But they made the dumb decision to pick up the head case because they drafted on need instead of bpa. They're the poster child of that phrase. Melo could have come off the bench behind Tyshaun. If you're that worried, you can always trade down for assets during the draft or trade later in the season if it doesn't work. Sometimes that bites you, like Greg Oden. But that's a different discussion.
So would have it been the best pick had they drafted Melo, had issues with Melo and T.Prince and never have won a championship? I wouldn't have done what they did, I probably would have traded down but they didn't want to mess with their chemistry. Take for instance... K.Irving, highly talented yet with Boston and Brooklyn, teams about being a team, has completely changed their makeup to be about him. Sometimes talent causes issues.
