Carmelo Anthony traded to Knicks

Juror12, I haven't been following this closely, but the Knicks must have been under the cap, otherwise you're right, they would have had to match salaries.

I'm surprised that so many feel the Knicks gave up too much. To me, Carmelo is one of the best players in the league and you do whatever you can to secure those guys first and fill in around them.

Felton, Gallinari and Chandler are all nice solid players, but none of them take you past the first round of the playoffs.

The Knicks have a bit more work to do to put the right team around Amare and Carmelo, but they finally have an elite level core to work with.

Will be an interesting game in New York tomorrow with Melo and Billups suting up!

My lucky bro not only went to the All Star game in LA, but long ago booked tickets to watch NYK play against Bogut and the Bucks at MSG. He now gets to see Melo and Billups alongside Stoudemire in a Knicks uniform for the first time in front of a sellout MSG crowd!

Anon, I totally agree. Gallinari was one player I did not want to see been traded away..He has a bright future and I believed he suited the D'Antoni system.

At least the Knicks weren't stupid enough to trade away Fields--Give him 3-5 years and he will be an all-star IMO

The Nuggets GM must be in the running for GM of the year.

As Carmelo wasnt going to stay in Denver after this season and now they have acquired all this young talent.

Major pick up the Nuggets.

This definetly beats getting nothing for your superstar when they leave and sign with another club.

The Nuggets just didnt want to take the chance that cleveland took last year when they were certain that Lebron would stay.

And good on the Nuggets holding off on making this deal early they knew what type of deal they wanted and who they wanted to get and they never lower their asking price and finally Knicks came to the table and agreed to trading 3 starters and a prospect Big Man plus draft picks!

Had not seen that yet Isaac, very interesting, may open up more time for Mills as Harris is having a poor year.

This just gets better and better. Thank you NY.

I wouldn't get too hung up on trading away Felton. The Knicks weren't going to seriously compete for finals this season anyway and with the reports of CP3 wanting to join Melo and Amare at NY they will have a much better PG in a season or so.

Very, very happy to hear this news. Well done Knicks and the ghost of Isiah.

For crying out loud. Why did they trade away Felton??

Seriously, they needed Felton to run the offense. Billups is just too old.

Can't believe they would trade away Felton. He's arguably in line for Most Improved this year.
