What at relief it would be if they would draft him though... Watched those highlights again with very open mind and without any prejudice. How this guy is even in top 10 discussion is beyond my understanding. Seriously, **** ****

The comments are hilarious on the facebook page.

I think Vonleh will turn out to be a better overall player than Jabari. Parker is going to be a scorer, but will he make a team that much better? Guys like Carmelo and AI are/were replaceable because their offensive greatness was offset enough by their defensive liabilities to make their sum contribution much, much less than what one would expect from a "superstar" and MAX player.

Agree with Carmello but AI? no way. I know the guy was a head case but he was also a 11 time all star and league MVP. he also took a weak team and nearly single handedly took them to the finals twice. (he also through my boy Vanhorn under the bus). I would definitely take a young AI from the draft.

Look at that roster. Now go ahead and tell me that AI was replaceable. He played with a bunch of crap, and got them to the finals.

OK, I'll give you the young AI. I remember his later years when his teams would do as well when he was out of the lineup. So erase AI from my list, but keep Carmelo and Boozer. Parker will give up almost as many as he scores.

But you would definitely take him on your team, and he'd make your team way better.

Nope. And not necessarily.
What has NY accomplished? I'd take two very good players instead of a MAX guy like Carmelo. You have limited dollars to spend. Pay MAX to a player whose net (pts scored vs. allowed) is very low. In addition, if the offense isn't geared 100% to his liking, he can't produce and will complain until the coach is replaced.
