If Melo has had one in 2 of his 6 years, I'm guessing that's normal. I doubt more than 1/3 of the teams have 2 all-stars.
It looks like 6 out of 30 teams had at least 2 all-stars last year (Miami, Toronto, Chicago, GS, OKC, SAS). So that's a pretty high standard that SAS is referring to. Championship teams don't always have 2 all-stars.
I mean Cleveland won the chip and they had Irving and Love to go with Lebron. Irving and Love may have not made the all star team im guessing going by your data. But they are all star caliber.
Knicks have had some of the poorest guard play over the yrs during Melo's tenure with only exceptions being Linsanity and the Felton/Kidd/Smith trio during the 54 win season.
Based on the 54 win season just get adequate guard play comparable to what Felton/Kidd/Smith produced. But without the enigma and old as hell attachments.

Yeah, I'll give you that you need high caliber teammates even if they're not all-stars. The team has overpaid in most trades and signings for a long time. That's not Melo's fault but it leaves us with poor rosters.
