The Nuggets absolutely and totally raped the Knicks on that trade.
We're over a full year removed from the deal.
Lets look at the assets acquired post-trade.
Knicks:
Carmelo Anthony
Tyson Chandler (Chauncey Billups waived)
Nuggets:
Danilo Gallinari
Wilson Chandler
Andre Miller (Trade for Raymond Felton)
Jordan Hamilton
Timofey Mozgov
So the Knicks turned Gallo/Chandler/Mozgov into an All-NBA/All Star SF and used Chauncey Billups' expirer to acquire the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year in Tyson Chandler
Denver turned Melo & Billups expirer into acquiring Gallo who's averaged 14.6 PPG in Denver and signed for $44 Million, Chandler who's averaged 10.5 PPG and signed for $37 Million, an expiring Andre Miller who's playing a key role in their 1st Round series against the Lakers with 12.7 PPG/5.7 APG, Mozgov & Jordan Hamilton.
Denver got a fresh slate to rebuild with young talent in hopes that each player further develops into helping the team become a legit contender in the West.
New York got 2 members of their core for a team that isn't rebuilding but trying to win a Championship in the next 3 years.
Deal is about even.
Nuggets fans wouldn't be happy to have a "superstar" player like Melo who couldn't lead them to a NBA Finals despite the roster turnvoer around him, while Knicks fans wouldn't be happy with managment trying to win a title depending on young players like Gallo & Chandler to step up and play like stars.

Melo's been very good on defense since D'Antoni has been gone. He guards the better forward every game.

It's not like his numbers are impressing in the series 15 points on 38% shooting.

Which one is easier to find?
We'll find out in due time.

Re: Right now, who is the better player: Danilo Gallinari or Carmelo Anthony?
Melo is the better player but if I already had a star on my team I would rather have Gallo. Melo is just an individual star that can't co-exist with any other star players. It's just the way it is and it's just the way he plays the game.
Melo is like an inefficient version of Adrian Dantley.

Carmelo Anthony and it's not really close. Cocaine is hell of a drug.
