According to him, he can provide leadership within a team, you thoughts?
IMHO, he's better to be managed by others or go under others umbrella rather than lead a team.
He can't lead a team anymore, he has given a chance to lead NYK but there was no improvement on the team.
He needs to go down from his superstar mentality, I'm sure there's still a lot of teams that will sign him since he can still play and he has accomplish a lot throughout his career, except to become an NBA champion.
He had some good years with the Knicks but the eastern conference was dominated by Lebron during that time. Melo also led the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals and they had a close series with the Lakers. Don't think he gets enough credit for what he has done.
He had most of his success with Denver Nuggets, his first team.
Of his 8 seasons playing with the Denver Nuggets, his team only miss one season of going to the playoffs, and during that time he has an impressive stats. Moreover, with the NYK, of the 7 seasons he played, he only lead his team 3 times in the playoffs.
He should be credited that's why he is start player but his pay now is subject to his performance, unfortunately, he didn't do good in the last 2 teams he played with.
