For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.

Melo would have subtracted from that Pistons team tho - they were a great defensive team because ALL of them were great defenders. Put Melo in there, and yeah, he gets you 10-15 extra points per game, but the other team gets 20 by attacking him, not to mention his late rotations and poor switches.

Regular season wouldn’t matter as much, but in the playoffs, he would have sunk them.
