26 year old Gordon Hayward is far and away better than 32 year old Melo
Y'all are crazy if you're thinking otherwise

Advanced stats would prove this to be true.

FACTSThis, Pat didn't want to admit his time had come and gone. Killed me to see him in a supersonics uniform. He further degraded himself later donning the uniform of the Orlando magic. #7 hasn't fallen off to the level Pat did...yet. He looks to be well on his way though. If you can get something for him now then do it or be stuck with him rolling downhill for 2 more years. Also, I hate the comparison between Pat and #7. Pat was the best knick of all time. True he didn't win any championships, but his team's were always contenders. The same cannot be said for #7.
It's unfair to compare Ewing to Melo.
There were some things Ewing had which Melo never did and vice-versa.
Ewing had the misfortune of playing during the MJ era, but was always in contention of making it to the Finals throughout the 90's because he was surrounded with players who knew their roles and a head coach who brought in a winning culture to the team. Ewing had to deal with 2 coaches during his prime.
Melo played in an era where it was pretty much open and there wasn't a team or a single player who would always win. There was a chance. But he never had the consistency or a dependable team Ewing had. Melo has gone through 5 coaches during the 5 years he's been here. That's 5 different personalities and basketball philosophies with 0 credibility or winning pedigree.
I'm not a Melo apologist my any means and feel there are parts of his game which is detrimental to the long term success of the team. But I do believe it's simply unfair to compare Patrick Ewing to Melo. Although Ewing never won championships, he had far more consistency throughout his time in NY than Melo.
As much as most Knicks fans want him out and will use him as a scapegoat, we need to a take a long hard look in the mirror and realize we didn't maximize our opportunity with one of the greatest scorers the NBA has seen. We could've and should've done more with Melo. The pieces we have now are far better than what we've had in the past, but it may be a little too late. The team needs a few players and another year before we can really see tangible results.
Eye test says it's true, too
Also, George Hill is so far better than Rose it isn't even really close. Even in basic stats, he's better.
He scores at a better rate and then you factor in the fact that he's an elite defender at his position while Rose plays no D at all, it isn't a comparison.
Everyone is better than MeloSo y'all just said a few days ago Milsap is better than Melo. So who's better Haywood or Milsap.
