If you guys still finish with a bottom 3 record in the league then Ingram would have to have a terrible year, Deng and Mozgov would have to be useless and Russell must not have improved at all.

Not really only the Nets and Sixers have comparable lack of talent + we have the hardest schedule in the league, Ingram could be really good and the rest of the core could improve and it still not translate to Ws. This year is all about improving as individual talents not wins and losses. And I'm expecting nothing from Mosgov and Deng will be more of a teacher at this stage of his career.

Deng would be the highest paid teacher in the country
I could see the Kings, Nets, Pelicans, Suns, Nuggets and Sixers all having worse records than the Lakers this year if their young players step up and Deng isn't completely washed

As a professional basketball player, Melo is being paid to win in the NBA. HS, college, & Olympics contributed $0 to has salary.
So yes in retrospect, that is losing.

Nope.
2 completely different situations. KD was on a championship caliber team. I'm not saying Melo couldn't re-sign with NYK, but him signing a max deal without giving himself options is what I blame him for. Plus, that Knicks team never showed any signs of being good enough to win the East. It wouldn't have hurt Melo to do 1+1 deals after 2013. At the very least, it would've pressured NYK to try and put more talent around him.
Only on NT do people want to look at everything black and white
you know Melo and KD's situations were far from the same. No one is even saying Melo should've paired up with a super team. I just think once he locked into that 5 year deal, all the pressure was taking off the Knicks. They had him locked in for the rest of his prime.

Toronto can chill, we don't want to see that.
