Other suitors came and went, but Carmelo Anthony's long anticipated marriage to the New York Knicks The Knicks and Denver Nuggets agreed to a blockbuster three-team trade on Monday night that sends the All-Star forward to the Big Apple, sources told ESPN The Magazine senior writer Chris Broussard. The deal does not become official until a conference call with the league takes place on Tuesday. The deal ends the season-long trade saga involving Denver's All-Star forward and sends him to New York where he has publicly stated he would like to play. If it goes through as anticipated, Anthony is expected to sign a three-year, $65 million extension with the Knicks, where he will play alongside good friend Amare Stoudemire. New York gets a potentially explosive frontcourt -- Stoudemire is second in the league in scoring at 26.1 points per game and Anthony is sixth at 25.2 -- but it comes at a heavy cost. appears to have finally taken place. As a part of the deal, the Knicks will send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash, the sources said. Along with Anthony, New York would get Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman from Denver.
Carmelo Anthony is a nice player. He's a nice scorer. I like him. But Carmelo is pretty much Tracy McGrady 2.0. Great scorer in his prime, will win you regular season games, get you to playoffs every year but will only go beyond the first round once because he's a piss poor leader who only cares about his numbers at the end of the day. You know who else is like that? Amare. The biggest fraud in the NBA. So now the Knicks have two egos in the most ego filled city with the most ego driven fans. Listen, I like the trade a lot. It makes New York basketball relevant and entertaining but they don't scare me. They might be a 5 seed now instead of a 6 but they're not built to win a title and they never will be with their offensive philosophy. That's a fact. I'll bet my life that New York doesn't get the Finals once in the next 10 years. Just too much emphasis on run and gun and not enough on defense which is a must in the playoffs with grind it out games. So I'll say this to close it out. Fuck Carmelo. Fuck Amare. Fuck New York. Suck my dick and kiss my ass. Everyone.
