Yeah, nobody's comparing the two. But one of them brings the entire offense to a standstill with his isolation preference. And the same dude doesn't even try on defense. Melo won't win a championship no matter who's on the team if he doesn't change the way he plays. Denver's playing much better team ball without him.
Put the right pieces around Lin and he has a way better chance of winning one. He elevates the play of guys like Landry Fields and Tyson Chander... and sets up Novak off penetration. There's a reason why D'antoni compares him to Steve Nash (who coincidentally made Amare and Shawn Marion look much better than any point in their careers without him). Amare and Melo play absolutely no defense- while he's not the best defensively, at least Lin tries on that end.
