Melo who?

Carmelo Anthony has been in the news lately involved in possible trade scenarios and rumors but no team has pulled the trigger on a potential blockbuster trade to acquire the services of Carmelo. The truth is that he's honestly not that good.

Great Talent can only get you so far.

When talking about the NBA's elite players there are are two different tiers; the superstars and the franchise players. Carmelo is just a superstar and not a franchise player.

Before I get a bunch of nasty comments consider this, Carmelo was almost traded to the bulls recently but Jokim Noah was the untouchable player that held up the deal. Now imagine if Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, or Kevin Durant was being traded, do you think the Bulls wouldn't trade Jokim Noah?

Noah was the reason the Melo trade didn't happen

The truth is that the Nuggets never even made it out of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs until Chauncey Billips was added to the roster. This goes to show as talented as Melo is, he's just not equipt to lead a franchise.
