That was a long time ago, Melo had change and his performance decline after leaving the Knicks, he just to have more touch of the ball so he can shoot more and made points but it's not gonna happen if he join a good team where he is not the main man.
A Kyrie-Melo tandem may give him more chance to touch the ball now unlike when he was at OKC with Westbrook/PG and at Houston with Harden/CP.
That's a good analysis, Westbrook and Harden are both a ball hogger but Melo is also one of them, so he needs to change though.
Irving on the other hand is just a mild ball hogger, he loves to hold the ball, drive the ball, then pass, but if that ball will goes to Melo, that would be hard for him as he is not a type of player who shoots quickly, he loves to dribble the ball first, post up, then turn around or just fade away.
Anyway, let's just see what will happen, but I hope Melo will improve and learn from his mistakes in the past.
This ins't his era anymore.
That deal may be tough on him but yeah, why not. His team claims that he still got it so it won't be a problem for him to prove it.
If this kind of deal will work on fading stars, then I think this will use pretty often then.
