Carmelo Anthony is finally a New York Knickerbocker and when I say finally...I mean FINALLY!!!! No more rumored reports and no more awkward questions Carmelo has to dance around.
Here are the details of the Knicks and Nuggets trade...oh and the Timberwolves
Knicks Get
Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups(Finals MVP '04), Sheldon Williams(Former Duke Star), Anthony Carter(Former Heat nag from way back), Corey Brewer and they also welcome back the great Renaldo Balkman.
Nuggets Get
Danilo Gallinari, Rayomd Felton, Wilson Chandler, and Timofey Mozgov, 1st round pick and Two 2nd round picks and don't forget $3 million in cash...
Timberwolves Get
Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry
____________________________________
It is unfortunate to see Gallo, Felton and Chandler go but the Knicks have received a player better then all 3 of them put together in Carmelo.
In addition to Carmelo the Knicks keep their prized rookie Landry Fields and they gain a former Finals MVP in Billups. Does Chauncey want to be here? Also who really knows if those 35 year old legs can hold up in D'Antoni's "system" buuuuut check out this starting lineup now...
Starting Lineup
Ronny Turiaf
Amar'e Stoudemire
Carmelo Anthony
Landry Fields
Chauncey Billups
That's pretty damn good....CARMELO ANTHONY IS A NEW YORK KNICK AND WILL SIGN AN EXTENSION WITH THE NEW YORK KNICKS!!!
