That's not really going out on a limb, though, since the Bulls very well might win the East without Carmelo.

They are so much better off with that team cancer.

NBA season has officially begun.

They are so much better off with that team cancer.

I remember when Denver was going to be so much better without Melo.

 

[thethe]

Gallo was just such an injury bust. Its a shame because that kid had massive skills.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I remember when Denver was going to be so much better without Melo.

And they have been.

 

[gilesfan]

And they have been.

Based on what?

 

[Heyward]

They're playing well now.

They have an assload of assets, i wonder if they trade some of them for a second-tier star.

Jimmy Butler > Kevin Love

 

[Heyward]

This is why i've said OKC wont make the playoffs.

The margin for error is just so small with the bad start.

 

[gilesfan]

Kent Bazemore!!!!!!!!!

 

[gilesfan]

The margin for error is small when Russ is in russ mode and they ignore defense

 

[BRule]

Jimmy Butler > Kevin Love

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[BRule]

And they have been.

They average 5 wins LESS per year since Melo left.......so yeah.........no.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Based on what?

Won more than the Knicks.

 

[gilesfan]

Won more than the Knicks.

Logic fails you

2010-2011 season:

Denver 50-32
New York 42-40
Both lost in round 1

2011-2012 season:
Denver 38-28
New York 36-30
Both lost in round 1

2012-2013 season:
Denver 57-25 and lost again in round 1
New York 54-28 and advanced to ECSF

2013-2014 season:
Denver 36-46
New York 37-45
Neither made playoffs

So in this span Denver has 12 more regular season wins and they each have the same amount of post season play as well. New York won a series and Denver hasn't. However anyone who thinks Denver couldn't have won a series in the east should probably quit watching basketball entirely.

What the Knicks do is totally irrelevant to whether or not the Nuggets are better off with or without Melo. You don't understand this?

There is no way to tell if Denver is better of or not. What you can do is make educated guesses about the players that would be on Denver if the greedy guy was still there. No Chandler or Gallo. Doubtful Lawson is there either since he wouldn't have his current contract. So yes they would probably be worse off.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

No reason to discuss this anymore. Anthony is an irrelevant player on an even more irrelevant team.

5 less wins per year, so yes, there is a fairly simple way to tell. Black and white, bro.
