If he could realize that, he would've had a ring by now somewhere else, most likely. His ego is just too big. I don't wish ill will on you guys. I just don't see how it can work out any way other than what happened in OKC. In other words, an awkward ending with Melo being unsatisfied, and leaving.
That may very well happen, just like it did with Howard. Dantoni was able to work some magic with Harden and Paul together when a lot of people said that it wouldn't work, so maybe he still has some left for Melo. We'll see.
