Don't compare Paul George to Melo

So I'm on twitter and came across something that scared me. Someone said that Paul George is better than Carmelo Anthony. I said "At what sport?" Melo has proven himself to be one of the top players in the league and if you don't want to give him that credit then definitely a top scorer.  I'll hand it to Paul George defensively. But who's to say that's not a reflection of how the Pacers play basketball? I honestly don't like Paul George game. He is inconsistent offensively but wants to dominate the ball, he allows Lance Stevenson to do whatever he wants to do, and I just don't see him as a top player in this league. Melo has a scoring title, consistently top 5 in scoring and has not shown any signs of fear towards LeBron or Kobe (even though they are better.).  Paul George is up and coming and I don't want to sound like I'm hating on him but I refuse to fall into the hype just yet. George defensively is better than Melo but Melo offen

It's now or never for KD

If Kevin Durant wants to win a title he has to leave OKC. That roster is not championship built, starting with the coach.  Scott Brooks is a great coach if you want to develop young talent and teach them the ways of the NBA. It's only a handful of coaches that's at a championship level and he is not one of them. Brooks lets his team run wild in close games and that will not beat the Spurs or Heat.  Trading the 6th man of the year in James Harden for practically nothing was the straw that broke OKC back. That moves is as questionable as the Cavs picking Anthony Bennett! Surge Ibaka is a great defender but his offensive skill set is limited. He can't even run a pick and roll but is getting paid 12 million to block shots. Bad investment in my opinion. KD and Westbrook are the only two players on that roster than can score a point consistently. Jeremy Lamb STILL isn't confident with the ball in his hands and his lack of offensive development is another hindrance in OKC&
