Too many ball dominant guys to be able to work well enough to beat the other high-end teams. The only way this works well is if Carmelo starts scoring off the pass, cuts, etc. instead of in isolation. Otherwise, somebody gets left behind stats-wise, and I think it has to be him. Paul makes plays for others, Carmelo does not. Harden will get his regardless. The window on this group figuring it out and contending is also only maybe 2-3 years with the older guys already starting to decline.
Probably a mute point, because I can't see that group being able to get enough stops to beat Golden State with Harden and Carmelo both on the floor.
