Melo simply isn't a good basketball anymore. He is a terrible defensive player and a below average offensive player given his lack of efficiency. He is a net negative. He cannot help anyone anymore. Houston is not the problem. Oklahoma is not the problem. Melo is the problem. He got old and he hasn't developed his game enough to handle his physical & athletic decline.
It is time to retire.
You are right on all counts.
But try telling that to the morons in the general public. The league marketed Melo early and often and brainwashed half the country into thinking he is way better than he actually is.
I made this mistake of looking at twitter comments on this story and 2/3s of the comments are in support of Melo. It is like some kind of sick cult.
He sucks and should be on either the Lakers or a D-league team (please, God, let him go to the Lakers).
