Rondo is a top 5 point guard, not overall player.

Yes they are.
Defense is still half the game, and Rondo is one of the top defenders in the league. He's also a supreme leader, something Melo is not.
Roy is above average in almost every facet of the game. He's not a superstar, but he's wayyyy more well-rounded than Melo.
D-Will is a top 5 player in the league. He's the reason the Jazz win. Period.
Rose might not be there quite yet, but by the end of this year he could surpass CP3 and D-Will and be the best point guard in the NBA.
Really Rose over Melo? Really Rondo? Are you f#ckng serious right now. So I guess Melo is #6 just to disagree with me. Have any of you seen Melo play. If he played for Charotte you guys would be calling him Jesus. Can't be held in the paint, back any 3 down plus A-U-T-O matic jumper. Yeah but Gerald Wallace is better than him![]()
Melo has been surrounded by talent for years and has underachieved. His defense is piss-poor at best. Can't hate his international play, but that's not the matter at hand. Don't even know if he is a top 5 SF.
"Let 'em Work, Let 'em Live"
1a) Kobe
1b) Lebron
3) Durant
4) Wade
5) CP3
6a) Melo
6b) Dwight Howard
gentlemen, this is the definitive list. With that being said, I repeat that if we had to give up Gerald to get Melo then its something that we must do.
If we had to give up any player off of our roster to get any player on the above list then that is something that we have to do.
I am gonna say this again. Carmelo is an amazing talent. You can not downplay that. He has ALL of the tools to become a great defender. I believe that if he is pushed to the limit by LB (one of the greatest defensive minded head coaches and a great teacher) that he would become a better defender. Would he be a better defender than Gerald Wallace? Probably not but his offense comes so easy to him and if he put in the effort on the defensive end the offense would come even easier.
Ziggy, You forgot Deron at #5
I'm with you on this. Carmelo is an elite player that's nationally recogized as such. A game-changer. I don't think Charlotte has seen that level of talent since the days of Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning. (Perhaps Baron Davis early in his career) I love Gerald and everything he has done for the Bobcats, but if it takes him to get Carmelo, I think you have to do it. I imagine that if you asked basketball people without a dog in the fight, they'd tell you the Bobcats would do well to switch Carmelo for Crash.
