I used to love him as a kid…psss would’ve been the first big super team of a BIG 4. Idk how that would’ve worked out but if he fit in there it would’ve been dangerous
I would imagine if that team did happen and somehow ended up with Ray at 1 wade at 2 bron at 3 melo at 4 and bosh at 5, they would challenge the 96 bulls run baring any injuries. That being said, the only backup would be UD and some Gleague guys due to cap space
I feel like Melo would’ve been the third option, but regardless, there’s a reason that man never won a ring.
I’d heard it was going to be him or Bosh. I didn’t know there was an option for all four
Either way I do understand his mentality. Being a 4th option at that point in his career would have been poor for his development.
However, I don’t agree with other portions of how he managed his career.
He should signed with the Knicks in free agency.
Instead he forced them to trade for him and that gutted the team he was joining.
Melo was never going to sign with the Heat, there was no money for him.
**And he was never a good fit. Wade and Bosh had to sacrifice,**
**Melo would never.**
His stories over the years keeps changing.
Wouldve been fun for sure, but that likely means guys like battier, Miller and Birdman wouldnt be around. They played a massive role in winning.
Nobody believes that
It would’ve been impossible in 2010 idk what he even talking about. Now when Bron left there was a chance that we could’ve brought him in to go with DWade and Bosh but he re-signed with NY
I call BS. The other three took up the entire cap and needed to take paycuts to do it. No one was gonna ask prime Melo to accept vet minimum.
I’m not saying they didn’t talk about it, but that doesn’t mean it was ever possible
23 ?
Wade, LeBron and Bosh had previously signed 3 year contracts that expired in 2010 for the possibility of teaming up. Melo, who was in the same draft class, and could’ve done the same thing, signed a 5 year, 80 million dollar extension in 2006, that began in the 07-08 season. So no, there was no chance he could’ve been a 4th option for those Heat teams, since he was already under contract in 2010.
How many times is he going to tell this “could have been” story about joining the Heat? I don’t even think he was a Heat target in 2010. His game would have never worked with LeBron and Wade.
“Rebound Bosh” >>>>>>>> “OH SHIT!” on a third putback attempt with zero intent to even look around for an open man
/thread
/reality
Someone tell this man to stop trying to lorecraft his own reality to the situation already.
Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve. Bro just mad he chose money his whole career and is now making up what if stories on podcasts.
There is really only one “what if” of Melo’s career, and it could have had direct ramifications for us. Oddly enough, Melo would avoid this topic like the plague until recently. He addressed it, and gave this outlandish story of hunting down Darco…
So if Melo would have been drafted number 2 instead of 3, he would have gone to Detroit. Detroit had one of the greatest defensive rosters of recent times, but could be challenged offensively from time to time. He would have addressed all their holes on offense, and would have been the first of the 2003 class to win a championship. It’s a fair argument to think, Miami never wins in 2006 with a Detroit team anchored by Melo on offense in the division. That would have changed Wade’s legacy, and they could have become bitter rivals instead. Melo also would have started in a decent system, with a solid squad of veterans to guide him. In stead of going to (at the time) one of the shittiest teams in the league, and playing with a bunch of immature thugs. 🤷♂️
Nothing wrong with what he said
He was like 28 lol
In the end I’m glad it was Bosh instead of Melo, the big three wouldn’t have worked with him at all. His ego wouldn’t have allowed him to take sacrifices and adjust his role for the sake of winning and the team.
