[Rekindled]

The Nuggets traded Melo to the New York Knicks tonight, a league source said. Denver gets Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.

Anthony will go to New York, along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.

It say imminent in the article but I expect it to be done.

Finally. Part of me feels this could just be another false reported trade and were still a few days away from something tho :lol

Would be funny if this didn't work out and the Knicks missed the playoffs.

[GatorKid117]

About time.

Anyway, with that (potentially) done I sure as hell don't want to face the Knicks in the 1st round. They have the talent to make a series very interesting (assuming they didn't give the farm for Melo). Much rather have another team take them out :D

He'd fit in well. My issue is that anthony/stoudemire are ball dominant players who do not know how to play off the ball and give you next to nothing beyond scoring.

Exactly, and just curious why would you want Mike Beas to play for the Nets?

[DRoseOwnsACamry]

So what jersey # will he wear, since 15 is retired?

[GatorKid117]

I don't think Anthony and Stoudemaire complement one another well.

I'm not so sure either. But even so, the talent there is undeniable. Amare and Melo make for one if not the best offensive duos in the league. They have the potential to put a scare into one of the Top 4 teams if things work out.

We shall see though.

ummm. I think years with Nash prove that Stoudemire can be effective when he's not being ball dominant...

[thomaspynchon]

ummm. I think years with Nash prove that Stoudemire can be effective when he's not being ball dominant...

What I mean is that he needs to pick and roll to score efficiently. He isn't exactly versatile offensively. Meanwhile Anthony needs the ball in his hands to score. How will it work?

Melo, however, WAS excused from practice today and there are a lot of people tweeting that he is on his way to NY to take a physical, and that the only reason the trade isn't done is because the fact that the league offices are closed today.

Avery has to let him play without yelling and calling plays everytime down court. He thrived in NY under the freedom D'Antoni gave him. If the Nets are going to play slow down and not let him freelance at all, he's not going to be the PG they saw in NY.

Mozgov, Gallinari, Felton and a first rounder for Melo and Billups is a great deal. So move on now.

[ChrisKreager]

The Knicks gave up too much.

[InspiredLebowski]

If it's true that this is a Zeke + Dolan overriding Walsh thing then I hate the Knicks even more. I think Walsh did a significant amount of damage to the franchise his last years in Indiana, but dude's a class act I'll be forever grateful to and if you listen to Zeke over him...I don't even know what to say.

[1rkrage]

now Blake has more opportunities to dunk on Mozgov :rockon:

[EnoughSaid]

WOW! So much for basically just Melo? Billups will retire soon and I don't think will fit well with Amare. Williams and Balkman are just fillers. Man, the Knicks gave up almost everything except Amare and Fields.

[WhySoInsecure?]

Now we just need to flip Eddy and Randolph for a big man or a backup PG

They basically destroyed months of hard work, of chemistry. I would laugh if denver became a better team than the knicks as a result.

Although the Knicks gave up a lot in this trade, don't underestimate what they got in return. Billups may be up in age, but he is still a very good player. Balkman was in Karl's doghouse for the past two years, but he is a very good hustle player, and Shelden Williams is only 26, and with the right coaching has a lot to offer. And of course, Melo is Melo. Give it a chance.

randolph and curry are on their way to minnesota. Knicks cant do melo deal without getting rid of them.

[D.J.]

I think the Knicks gave up too much. Felton is averaging 18/8 or something like thart. He was a good fit and the Knicks replace him with a 35 year old Chauncey Billups. Anthony Carter is now the backup PG. Balkman is a bench rider and they gave up Gallinari and Chandler. I don't like this trade for the Knicks.

The big three are also three of the top players in the league. The Knicks don't even have a big three. They only have two.

Chauncey Billups / Toney Douglas

Carmelo Anthony /
Amar'e Stoudemire / Shawne Williams
Ronny Turiaf /

[IGOTGAME]

the one thing I do like is their playoff perimeter defense...

Fields is a long smart defender...Melo is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league when motivated. I think they match up good with Bron and Wade on the wings.

I can't wait to watch this....

I hope they match up with the Heat in the playoffs because their is no way I miss that...

Deron or CP3 and Melo = Wade and LeBron

[dwightderon]

I see Felton/Billups as a wash honestly and either way neither would be long term with D-Will/CP3 coming in later. The only true assets NY gave up are Gallo, Mosgov, and 1st. For Melo that's pretty good.

[elmachoborracho]

all of a sudden the bulls have competition

[Done_And_Done]

Whether they decimated the entire roster to acquire him or not the fact of the matter remains the same. An Amare and Melo duo is one of hell of tandem to build around. The core pieces are just about in place. Now you just gotta carve around it...

Melo wasn't hitting free agency. New CBA\Lockout .. he made it known how important the extension was. People keep missing that tho. Argued like 8 pages with people about it.

If it wasn't for the extension Denver would have had no leverage. Extremely lucky Melo was a free agent this year.

Jeez, New York really didn't think they could just get Melo in free agency? I thought New Jersey already gave up, so they were outta the picture which probably means his other option would be to sign the extension in Denver...and I'm sure the fans already don't want him there anymore anyway...

Maybe NY was just too impatient?

[Doranku]

Extremely pleased with my decision to pick the Knicks as my final team for the 7-team League Pass Broadband package. :pimp:

[InspiredLebowski]

I hated the Knicks before but if Dolan sided with Zeke, the worst coach in hoops history not named O'Brien, over Walsh it's amped up to mid 90s level now.

As far as a fit. CP3/Deron and Melo fit perfectly together.

[Clippersfan86]

You guys realize Billups will be going back to Denver right? He already said immediately if traded he's demanding a buyout and will be returning to Denver where he was raised. So Knicks fans shouldn't be too excited. They gave up way too much depth for Melo. I think Denver got the better end of this deal especially because all the talent hey got is young and filled with potential. Mozgov has potential to be a very good Center. I have a feeling in 2-3 years NY will regret this trade very much. Now they have an entire team built around 2 players that need 15-20 shots a game and want to be the guy.

there is no way melo was walking away from $65 million dollars. I dont know why people cant wrap there head around this. He would have accepted the NJ trade if not.

knicks fell for it

denver got a steal considering melo was not going to resign offseason anyways



there is no way amare and melo will be able to take down Celtics in playoffs

they both demand the ball and play poor defense

been refreshing the **** outta NBA.com to confirm for myself.

[D12"Magic"]

Felton and Mozgov traded for 2 1st rounders to the Nets WTF :facepalm And Harris to Dallas. Says preliminary.

[DeronMillsap]

So it's basically Melo and Billups for Wilson, Gallo, Felton and 3 picks(only one of which was their own).

And Mozgov might turn into a solid center but we'll see...

I don't think Melo was worth that much.

[Reverend Hoops]

No Melo was going to the Nets if Knicks wouldn't trade. We have went over this for a while now.

you realize that the knicks dont have to buy out billups?


they will ship him to phoenix for nash watch...........jk

[Patrick Chewing]

Billups and Williams will fit right in. I like Williams' upside and now New York will just have to focus on getting another big, while the pieces for a FA point guard will fall right into place in 2012. You're talking about a team consisting possibly of Paul/Williams, Stoudemire, Anthony, Fields and a credible big man.

[dwightderon]

Ken Berger KBerg_CBS Source tells @CBSSports that Nuggets also get Warriors' 2nd-round picks in '12 and '13 from New York. Ujiri for president.

Damn, the Knicks mortgaged their future for Melo. They gave up way too much.

Denver had all the leverage, and took full advantage. They'll be a better team.

I expect the Knicks to struggle early on post trade.

Balkman is the steal here. Great defender and rebounder can be used to be a lock-down defender.

[Dwade305]

Great trade for Denver.

At least they got the peace of mind they will contend and not bomb like the Cavs

[NuggetsFan]

Felton and Mozgov traded for 2 1st rounders to the Nets WTF :facepalm And Harris to Dallas. Says preliminary.

Link??? Don't like losing Mozgov but really didn't want Felton. Also what picks?

[ShaqAttack3234]

I'm excited, getting Stat has been great because despite being a flawed team we got a go to guy. Now, we have two so while I'm not sure how well it'll work out, the potential is there. I kind of hoped we'd just get Melo in the offseason, but at least we got him.

I guess the future is 1 and 1/2 years.

Kinda wanna see what happens with guy's like J.R|Nene. Going to be lot's of available shots out there.

Well they didn't' mortgage their future. If you don't think Felton, Gallo, and Flton can't be replaced, you are greatly mistaken. Now the Knicks have a future. But... they probably could have gotten Melo anyway. I think it was a risk that I would have taken.

[BRabbiT]

when have carmelo and amare been losers.....

im confused??

Melo made the playoffs every year of his career and lead Syracuse to a title as a frosh...

Amare came in and as a rookie made the playoffs and constantly help lead team to deep playoff performances...




they're not "losers". i respect both. a lot.

they're just more "AI" than they are "KB24" (IMO).

[hawksdogsbraves]

Am I the only person who thinks that a Melo-STAT core will never even sniff a NBA title?

Especially playing in D'Antoni's system. It'll be fun to watch in the regular season though, and now that I think about it I won't mind seeing the Knicks fans rage every year when that team flames out in the playoffs.

[D.J.]

I almost wish Nash had opted of Phoenix two years ago to join the Knicks. Probably would have been better off with that then this trade.

[elmachoborracho]

Damn... Denver straight turn their back to Billups.....

I have a feeling Anthony and Stoudamire aren't a good fit... Lets see

:oldlol: :roll:

how? last time i checked , we got back the 2 best players in the trade.

[crounsa810]

Oh poor poor Knicks.

Let me remind you of something.
Remember when you were "getting LeBron in 2010 and our team will look like this"?
Remember how that turned out?

Sure, you guys could get D-Will or Paul in 2012, but, remember that liiiiitttllleeee tiny injury that Amar'e has that could, oh you know, END HIS CAREER if he gets POKED IN THE ****ING EYE?

Amar'e gets poked in the eye, and no one is going to sign just to be with Melo.

Seriously, you guys got robbed imo. You gave up all your talent for Melo, who is good, but not worth the amount you gave up.

I'm ecstatic you guys took Melo off my team, but don't be so quick to crown yourselves champions. You've done this before and gotten your hopes up only to be shot down

[Rekindled]

My personal opinion is that Denver RAPED NY on this deal. Especially considering that if they had kept him he probably would've gone to NY in the off-season anyways.

[protox]

Denver committed highway robbery. They used the Nets good and I am sure the Nets are fine with that since the Knicks got gutted.

Paul or Williams is no guarantee with the new CBA looming. If there's drastic changes then you better hope they're willing to take less money which of course won't happen.

[D.J.]

how? last time i checked , we got back the 2 best players in the trade.


And gave up young role players for even worse players.

[El Kabong]

It's funny how quickly Mozgov went from being trash to being the tipping point of getting Carmelo Anthony.

[Meticode]

How can anyone say New York gave up too much? Felton and Chandler were going to be gone anyway. And they got rid of Eddy Curry. Did you hear that New York? Eddy ****in' Curry isn't a Knick anymore.


HALLELUJAH!

[InspiredLebowski]

Which doesn't matter anymore because NBA.com is freaking headlining it....This is about a lot more than the initial deal

[Rekindled]

And gave up young role players for even worse players.

keyword, role players. role players dont win you games, if we didnt have amare this season, we would be the cavs part 2. tired of guys hating on this trade for no reason.

[DRoseOwnsACamry]

After thinking about this more, the Knicks pretty much stayed the same offensively and got worse defensively.
Any team with a strong offense, or even a strong defense, will mop the Knicks.
This season... Knicks will be 5th seed, make it to the second round, and lose to Miami or Boston in 5.

[kabalcage]

Rumors are the Knicks are not done. They're in talks for another impact player to take them over the top.

[rosonviyavong]

Billups
Fields
Melo
Shawne Williams
Stoudemire

Weak bench though on the top of my head ..Douglas, Turiaf, and Carter?

Nuggets team is just scrambled and need to get their core pieces together

[Blue&Orange]

there is no way melo was walking away from $65 million dollars. I dont know why people cant wrap there head around this. He would have accepted the NJ trade if not.
I seriously hope that Melo acknowledges that the Knicks just gutted the team for him, and takes a paycut to help the Knicks in 2012... a silver lining for this rape of a deal.

But knowing how dumb Dolan and Isiah are, they didn't even thought about that...

Why do people keep talking about Eddie Curry? He was gone at the end of the year anyways as an expirer.

[Derka]

Knicks MIGHT have good series against Miami and Chicago with this new lineup if they can find some team chemistry by the time the playoffs roll around. They're gonna get smoked by teams with more depth at the big spots and they're STILL going to be a bad defensive team...those are two things you need to win a NBA championship.

Glad the drama is over until Dwight Howard's free agency comes up and every media outlet in the universe tries to blow it up into a massive story. I blame Lebron for all of this.

keyword, role players. role players dont win you games

Bar none one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read. The Boston Celtics won a title and 66 regular season games in the 2008 season and did it with a good portion of the workload falling on the shoulders of role players.

Let's see if you say the same when the big three of Miami are knocked out in the second round of the playoffs by a team without a big three but with good role players.

[IGOTGAME]

Rumors are the Knicks are not done. They're in talks for another impact player to take them over the top.

where did you hear this?

[El Kabong]

So it looks like if the Knicks want to trade Billups they have to get a deal done quickly.

Also note: Billups's contract becomes guaranteed 5 days after whenever New York's 2010/11 season ends. There's scope for a deal, but little.

Just the big ass picture. Sorry for killing your thunder.

i thought Gallo, Felton, and Mozgov had more years left. My bad.

Regardless, I still feel NY gave up too much for Melo. They completely caved into all of Denver's commands.

I guess Melo was worth. As good as he is, I think he's somewhat overrated. Best of luck to the Knicks, and their fans. I hope this works out well. The NBA needs the Knicks to become contenders again. I just hope this doesn't mean Isaiah Thomas will weasel his way back into the organization.

[Draz]

We got melo?!?!? Omgg take that nj!!!

knicks get corey brewer according to chris broussard

[MightyWhitey]

wow the knicks gutted their whole squad and even dug in their savings for melo. what's up with the trend of collecting superstars and hope things work on the fly?

It's called building a team. Something the Heat recently did. I wonder why it is so many people here think gallo and felton were impact players? Chandler was pretty inconsistent all season. And Mozgov needs more time to work on his game. Proud of the Knicks for this.


BTW Corey Brewer is coming to the Knicks.

[rosonviyavong]

they have the same bench they have had all season....walker, williams, and douglas. Plus whatever players they use from Denver. IMO there bench got better.

They just need to find a starting Center. which is crucial

Yeah you make good points except Williams is now probably going to start so they are basically -1 in depth. Bench is crucial if you wanna win though and they look liked they are going to only rotate 8 players.

Edit: Welll they got Brewer now so that will help.

[kabalcage]

Corey Brewer to Knicks!!!!!!!!!! YES.

Go Gators!

[MightyWhitey]

So far all of the ESPN analysts are saying that the Knicks have not only improved their roster but will now attract alot of talent to the team due to the combo of Amare and Melo. I can see Deron Williams joining, not Dwight Howard of Chris Paul. I prefer Deron anyway. He's a solid playmaker.

[oldschool4ever]

knicks fell for it

denver got a steal considering melo was not going to resign offseason anyways



there is no way amare and melo will be able to take down Celtics in playoffs

they both demand the ball and play poor defense

knicks will contend after next year when the celtics big 3 retire. so in the mean time, no one in the east is beating the celtics.

I wonder who the number one option is going to be in Denver now? Nene and Gallo?JR Smith sees no reason not to shoot now, what little he did before

[kabalcage]

Corey Brewer is a prominent member of the two time National Champion Florida Gators. He even won Most Outstanding Player when the Gators beat the Greg Oden Ohio State Buckeyes.

- Skinny Tall SG/SF
- Kinda like a homeless version of Gerald Wallace, the Gerald Wallace that couldn't shoot
- Willing Defender (that's different from a good defender)
- Thrives in Chaos
- Dunked on Derrick Fisher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxfb3pTm2Hw

Should be a pretty good 9th man.

[dwightderon]

I can see Brewer being traded by NYK for a big.

Also, wouldn't NJ need to do the Gallo/Mosgov trade soon cause they'd have to report to Denver instead soon...

[Draz]

Thanks. Repped. How many ppg does he get does anyone know?

[rosonviyavong]

JR Smith sees no reason not to shoot now, what little he did before

He's still coming off the bench though but yeah he's going to fire away like no tmr now. I bet you he was smiling from ear to ear when he heard bout this deal.

[DuMa]

basically nets and nuggets colluded to screw the knicks over.

[Patrick Chewing]

So Brewer is a Knick?

[nashisbest]

those are quite substantial pieces that Knicks have given up. i'm not too optimistic about melo and amare pairing up but let's see how they fare

[da dream]

broussard is saying the knicks are getting brewer and a 1st round pick. Makes the deal a little better from the knicks perspective.

I would think the Knicks have one more move to make. Wonder what it might be.

[04mzwach]

I'm sorry but who's Corey? Can someone please give me some info on him I'll rep.
He's a skinny long armed athletic player. You put him in for his great defense. He can gaurd as well as any player at his position in the league. He is about 6'7" and plays the SG position. He won back-back titles with Noah in Florida. He is a hustle player and damn worth having on your team. He will steal and get loose balls. He can knock down open jumpers pretty well now. He is in his fourth year I believe. You will fall in love with him as long as he doesn't fall to the pressure of New York.

Oh yeah, have you seen him posterize Derick Fisher?

[da dream]

basically nets and nuggets colluded to screw the knicks over.


But the nets didnt screw the knicks. Yeah they force them to give up pieces but no one will be talking about the nets. The national and local media will be all over the Knicks. This is a fail for the nets since they will be opening a new arena in brooklynn and no superstar to open it with.

The nets become even more irrelevent

[Kargo]

Then you know nothing about basketball. What do you call Dennis Rodman, Luc Longley, and Ron Harper? What do you call Derek Fisher and Rick Fox? What do you call Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Bruce Bowen?

All stars?:rolleyes:

Horrible examples...Parker was the finals MVP and both he and Ginobili were options 2 and 3 in their last two title runs.Is Paul Gasol role player too?Was Kobe a role player in 2001,02,03?

In the playoffs Duncan averaged 23 points in 2005 and 22 in 2007.Parker averaged 17 in 2005,21 in 2007.Ginobili averaged 21 in 2005 and 17 in 2007.

Robert Horry,Brent Barry,Fabricio Oberto and Nazr Mohammed were role players.

You should check you dictionary about what a role player is because Parker and Ginobili were just as crucial to San Antonio as Duncan was in those 2 years.

[dwightderon]

broussard is saying the knicks are getting brewer and a 1st round pick. Makes the deal a little better from the knicks perspective.

I would think the Knicks have one more move to make. Wonder what it might be.
Likely trade Brewer.

I wonder if Denver will trade Nene for some nice pieces....would make sense...They'll definitely try to flip Gallo & Felton.
