Your New York Knicks now include Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, and others.

Update- 11:26 PM: Apparently Corey Brewer is joining the Knicks, not the Nuggets, so there's one more role player and one less roster spot to chew on, or maybe not. From the Times:
The Knicks have not yet decided whether to keep Brewer or flip him in another deal.
Weird.
So, it appears as if it's done. Here's what everybody is saying was the first official report from The Denver Post.
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.
In addition, Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph will go to the Timberwolves.
Take the jump and let's chat.
My thoughts at the moment:
- First of all, Carmelo Anthony is a Knick, and so is Amar'e Stoudemire. Those are two of the league's best scorers from inside and out, two All-Stars worthy of starting spots, and two guys who demand double teams. Any way you slice it, that's incredible. The whole "They both need to ball to score! They can't share!" thing may hold water for now, but they'll probably figure that out. They're really good and they're going to learn how to coexist. It'll take time, though.
- Seriously, though, don't try and approach the Melo/Amar'e tandem with any degree of certainty. The advanced stats tend to be frightening, but these two guys have never played alongside companions of one another's caliber. We have no idea how far those two can take us. None.
- Now for the losses. The Knicks gave up a bunch to get Anthony, and they probably gave up more than they had to. It sounds as if this had a lot to do with James Dolan, and it could have even been influenced by Isiah Thomas. If so, that sucks. There's nothing we can do about it, though. Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler were two of the team's brightest young up-and-comers who could score, defend, and electrify us in very different ways. We will miss them dearly, and a thread bidding farewell to those two will be up at some point in the morning. For now, bear in mind that Chandler, for all of his majesty, will be a restricted free agent this summer. It would have been very difficult for the Knicks to improve without losing Wil.
- It's a good thing the Knicks got Carmelo Anthony, because they just ditched their only two guys who have any shot at defending Carmelo Anthony!
- The new friends included- Timofey Mozgov, Anthony Randolph, and Raymond Felton- will be missed as well, in very distinct ways. Eddy Curry is a topic for another time. While the loss of Mozgov opens up an even bigger hole in the paint, the departure of Felton surely hurts the most. Even as you lament the loss of his solid play and unshakable grit, check out this excellent Fanpost comparing Felton to Chauncey Billups. Billups, while rather old, is a hell of a player with a short contract. Unbiased observers would probably consider this a point guard upgrade.
- It remains to be seen how Walsh and D'Antoni handle the three "fillers" joining the Knicks, but they're not slouches. Anthony Carter is short and wrinkly, but he's a perfectly serviceable point guard when healthy. I have no idea how healthy he his at the moment, but the Knicks needed that. I have never been a Shelden Williams fan, but the guy is among the league's leaders in rebound rate. The Knicks needed that, too. Renaldo Balkman hasn't been a useful NBA player in some time, but that man is a P&T LEGEND. It's a thrill to have Humpty back.
- Landry Fields is still a Knick. This is seriously wonderful news. If you're down in the dumps about this, consider that the Knicks haven't gotten any less Landry. They may have even gotten Landrier. Embrace Landry Fields, for he is yours to keep.
- Shawne Williams, Bill Walker, Toney Douglas, and Ronny Turiaf: All still Knicks. All will probably benefit from playing with two elite scorers and one very solid point guard.
- And yeah, that's Shawne Williams and Shelden Williams. That'll be fun.
- It's over, guys. The deadline's not here yet, and the Knicks may very well have moves left (they also have two roster spots to fill. Earl Barron, perhaps?), but the biggest wave has crashed. Now we can lose sleep over something that is real and concrete instead of something that is perpetually, threateningly imminent.
I'll probably add more to this post as I ruminate, but for now: Discuss. Lament. Celebrate. Most importantly, be kind to one another. For better or worse, a page has turned.

Not if Anthony Carter has anything to say about it
Also I feel that Mozgov makes out the worst in this trade. Just getting his NBA confidence, ample room to get playing time, with a system that suits him… now he is in Denver.
Denver…
This is how I see this trade.
Yes, we gave away the house. Not a mansion, but a very serviceable house. Warm & cozy, it had it’s leaks & flaws but it withstood all the storms. We got used to that house. Now we have the foundation for our own mansion. We might get another pillar in FA for our foundation. Yes I cried when we gave away our house, but I see the framers are making this new house take shape. It’s starting to look pretty good. Hope we keep the same architect. He has the plans in his pocket.

if you look back at blockbuster trades, the team that gets the superstar usually is pretty happy about it. I agree we may have given up too much, but to think that we have Melo and Amar’e considering where we were just two years ago is awesome.

May Have?
It seems pretty obvious the Knicks did and that’s why everyone is riled up. The fact that Walsh was passed over during this whole thing just makes it that much worse.
I completely agree
we should not have included Mozzie at the end. But we shouldn’t act like this is a disaster. It’s not the end of the world when you put together two straight superstars in their prime and have them locked up for the next 4 years

this is ugly
i was in favor of getting melo, and i’m certainly gonna be a fan of his and of the other guys we got in the deal.
but with that said, the Knicks screwed up somewhere. either we shouldn’t have given up this much, or we should have gotten the deal done months ago if we were willing to give away most of our assets.
so to me, this is bittersweet at best.

We were only second in the league in scoring and close to last in rebounding.
Good thing we gutted a solid young core for a mass shooting scorer with no rebounding or defensive wherewithal.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
his defensive lapses are overrated
watching him i see him square up on whoever has the ball opposite of him. he’s no better or worse than anyone we lost today, save Wil.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I will not - lose! -Jay Z-
Agreed
His so called ‘defensive issues’ is often blown out of proportions. Yeah, he’s not the same defender as some of the other elite small forwards out there like LBJ, but he can definitely hold his own. In fact, I would rate Melo before Gallo in terms of defense.
remember the last time we were this excited about a knicks trade
oh yeah. that was stephon marbury

Fuck. This. Trade.
I’m hiding in my love of Landry for the rest of the year. Eatcha hahht out, Carmelo.

it was seriously cool being a part of this community.
but i can be a part of it no longer. i cannot be a fan of a team with an owner so committed to mediocrity. and i cant be a p&t’er if im not a knicks fan.
maybe i might become a brooklyn fan. anything to spite dolan’s incompetent ass. hopwfully gallo will go there.
farewell to you all.
gave up too much
i never thought i could feel shitty about getting a 25 ppg scorer for my team, but james dolan has managed to give me that thrill, too.
It's quite likely that Mike D'Antoni will accomplish something that Don Chaney, Lenny Wilkens, Herb Williams, Larry Brown, and Isiah Thomas couldn't do: Win a playoff game. So, obviously, small ball doesn't work.
It just hit me that
Danilo Gallinari is no longer a New York Knick.

Just alot of rentals. The Russian guy down in the dumps just made this idiot Dolan look like a Super Idiot. I give the Russian guy props because he just made an idiot look 20 times worse. Then this idiot is supposedly about to bring in another idiot that gave us a decade of idiocracy (red line came under this one, yet I’m confident it’s a word now after this debacle….soon.)
I’m an effing Knicks fan for life. And I’ll never talk about this trade ever again. Let alone this season. Competence once again has been thrown out the window.

If the Nets get Mozgov and Chandler they will also improve.

As far as leverage goes
Important to realize that while we had leverage over the Nuggets, the Nuggets had some leverage too. They could just refuse to trade Melo, leaving him without the bigger extension.
It does seem like we got outnegotiated here, but we weren’t the only ones with power.
and than we would have signed him as a free agent. simple as that

So, just wondering...
how much money do we have this off season? I mean, even without discussing if this trade makes us a better team, we had a certain amount of money to work with this off season before the trade, what’s it look like after?
Maybe this isn’t the time to discuss this, but it seems like the Knicks went gung-ho win now mode rather than working on a young core to build it up to a championship contender.
Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
lost about 18-20 mil of flexibility
basically the 1st year of melo’s extension; the other pieces even out. on the plus side, they stripped the team of every big contract that runs past this season except our big 2 and a half. on the minus side, gallo was going to make a little over $4 mil next year— don’t see how they replace his production at that price.
It's quite likely that Mike D'Antoni will accomplish something that Don Chaney, Lenny Wilkens, Herb Williams, Larry Brown, and Isiah Thomas couldn't do: Win a playoff game. So, obviously, small ball doesn't work.
Apologies guys
Earlier today I was saying that Denver re-trading our guys to the Nets wouldn’t work, but I misread the relevant portions of the CBA.

Something more like "GOAT."
Corey Brewer has a pet goat. He twittered… or tweeted, or whatever… about it last summer.
He’s a loveable player, he’ll always give that energy fans appreciate. He’s completely inconsistent. It is never the same river twice with Corey; every layup is new. I hope he winds up sticking with the Knicks for a bit, because he could become a sort of folk hero there… Until Mike D’Antoni inevitably doghouses him.

for so long i strove for this team to be mediocre. in the height of zekedom i dreamed of an 8 seed. finally, the knicks were at a playoff level before this deal.
i suppose in the grand scheme of things, this move probably puts the knicks in a better position to be better than merely playoff level. could also backfire. but i suppose i’m comfortable with going balls to the wall to try and do something, and i don’t see this team dropping out of a playoff race.

I’m not a bandwagon fan though I’ve only posted here twice, as I am more into the Rangers.
I don’t get all the negativity. We just got one of the best players in the NBA and a really good point guard with experience. And we’re bummed because we lost….Timofey Mozgov? Gallo and Felton showed some brilliance but were both pretty erratic, imo.
Chandler is one I will miss, for sure.
I hate that Thomas still has Dolan’s ear and to the extent he influenced anything at all Knick-related, it’s a disgrace, but ….. for Christ’s sake, lighten up! This will be fun team to watch, and it’s still a work in progress.
We had no reason to give up Mozgov, or Gallo in my mind.

And in that game, we wont have Triple Felt, Mozgod, The Cock, Ill Wil, or AR looking salty on the bench. What we will have is Melo in his first game playing for his home state. We will have Mr Big Shot. We will still be the Landriest team in the league. And we will still be Standing Tall And Talented. Hopefully it is enough.

Minnesota fan. Corey Brewer is a terribly inconsistent shooter, and a zen experience.
What you get in Corey Brewer is basically the equivalent of a baseball player who’s a dynamic hitter, but who has no strike zone discipline. That shows up on both ends of the court.
Defensively, the guy brings the effort and then some. He lives for deflections and steals, prides himself on them… But is not that great an on-the-ball defender.
What you need to do right now is build your own drinking game involving Corey Brewer on offense. This will ensure that you experience a wide variety of beverages – because it isn’t ever, ever the same experience twice with Corey.

Aptly said.
Any given franchise has these guys in baseball: .280-something hitter but with no on-base percentage, slugging percentage all over the map from year to year.
The word for Corey is “disruptive.” Unfortunately, that applies on both ends of the floor. He’s a strong spice. I wonder if D’Antoni will put him in the doghouse, but the bench for y’all at this point…

Buike hasn't played in damn near two years now. So that plan is a fail
Pringles goes back to 8 men initially with TD, Walker, And Extra E playing til their tongues drag. I am still concerned about this season. Billups has got to bring it with more consistency than he did in Denver, where he had Lawson to bail him out, and Walker has got to step it up. We also are going to need to get something out of Mr. Candace Parker. If we can do that we should be okay. Melo is going to score and Amar’e is going to score so the issue is will D’Antoni find 6-7 other bodies to play well enough night in and night out to win ball games. Having Superstars makes you relevant but it still takes 8-9 players making contributions to win a NBA basketball game. Billups, TD, Extra E, and Walker all are going to have to step it up! And if one of these corpses we picked up in this trade can also give us anything, we might have a chance.

Wilson Chandler was gone after this season.

Wilson Chandler was not gone stop . We would have had the ability to clear 20 mil
this off-season and thus we could have signed Anthony and used Bird rights to sign will. Which is what Donnie originally said he would do. Melo however needed his money, so we had to go trade. Felton was gone after next season if we could have landed Paul or Williams, if not then Felton was a solid plan B. Now our Plan B will be a 37 year old point guard, who once he hits free agency will not sign with us. Felton wanted to be here, Billups does not. He is a pros por so he will play hard for us, but when he gets the chance he is going to resign in Denver for pocket lint if he has to as well he sshould he is Denver born and raised and wants to retire in his home city.

Some Brewer analysis
+ Slender, high-energy defender and ball hawk with superior length and quickness.
+ Excels as runner and finisher, but a very poor dribbler who often loses balance.
+ Improving outside shooter off catch. Arsenal remains very limited otherwise.
That last part's a lie.
This year he’s shooting 38%, 26% from 3. He needs to take only layups.
"I think Murdertron makes a good point though."
the important question
is whether his form can be corrected or not. if he’s not far away from it, a quick fix could have him shooting much better… our coaches know how to fix a guy’s jumper.

A couple of years ago, Corey Brewer had a breakaway fast break opportunity to finish the last game of the season.
He missed the dunk, badly. Collected his own rebound. And missed the layup.
Game went to overtime, and the Wolves lost.

Knicks have no center. Thin bench. And won’t have the cap space to pay CP3, Deron Williams over any other top FA in 2012.
Well they have no center
do have a thin bench, tho Walker and Williams are underrated.

This is it
If we get CP3, then all is good. If we can’t get an elite point guard because we traded away too many assets for Melo, then this is a bad trade.
"The Mets are gonna be amazin'!" - Casey Stengel
"Bounding and astounding!" - Clyde Frazier
Okay I gave some thought to it
-Felton was gone anyways during 2012 offseason to get CP3/Deron/ or Howard
-Chandler was gone during the offseason if we tried to sign Melo thru free agency (idc about the brid rights….cap space…blah blah…he was gonna be gone and prob sign with a team that would pay more)
- Only people we give up for Carmelo and Billups is Gallo and Mozzie
This is definitely a trade for the long-term and has Walsh’s handprints all over it….but they are smudged with Dolan’s chubby hands ;-)
Landry Fields for ROY
this is true
Gallo and Mozzy going sucks – but they’re the only long-term pieces who we had to part with.
keeping Landry is huge. just gigantic. he’s a perfect complement to a trio of stars.

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
My personal feeling was Gallo and the 1st was too much
That’s where I am finding this to be over the line. I could care less about Shelden and Carter or Balkman (legend be damned); I really wanted to keep Gallo for 6th man. And why are we paying 3 mil just for someone to take Curry Donuts off our hands? Good God Man! He’s expiring anyway and they get AR….Billups I’d be surprised if he were here 5 days after the end of the season, but if and while he is here, I hope he brings his A-game w/out any angst for having to leave where he wanted to be.
Trying to gather some bright side outta this, Brewer is at least only 24 and plays some D, so there’s hope he can be coached up and add some O, but it’s gonna be a lil hard I’d think to gain some continuity for many of the new guys mid-season without a lot of practice time.
There’s gonna be some hard minutes for Amar’e and Billups and Melo, let’s see how they hold up. And it almost has to be a foregone conclusion we grab Earl now.
The other “angst” I have is this is so not a DW move it seems. Def not a MDA move. Melo’s great but the deal itself wreaks of mismanagement
Think more
Because from the Nugg’s perspective, Melo was gone this summer, and Billups is gone next.

didn’t know that was possible. I grew attached to our guys as they were developing and carrying a NY swagger. But we did get Melo who carries that swagger.

Question… won’t the Knicks also be getting a $9.5m trade exception as part of the Curry to Minn deal?

A little info on Billups. His contract is only guaranteed for $3.7m next year. If NY releases him they’d get back $9m; but unless they’re ready to get CP3 or Deron I think the Knicks will keep him through next year
And yes Billups is an upgrade to Felton; Billups was an all star last year so he still has game

As a Cuse grad and life-long Knicks fan
THIS IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!
http://twitter.com/pjhoody
I feel sick.
This trade is painful. I guess I don’t have to worry about Melo not fitting in since we gave up our whole team to get him practically. The only bright spot is keeping Landry really for me.
I admit I was a Melo fan back in his cuse days but I haven’t liked him since the whole sucker punch and run deal… seriously, who does that.
I think we’re a stronger team if we can get a big body or two that can play and hopefully this leads to the CP3 deal that was alluded to with that infamous toast, or D-Will, we’ll see.
I’ll miss you Gallo, Felton, Wil, Moz…. and screw you Dolan.

Seriously, how do we deal with the oncoming tsunami of bandwagoners?
This is gonna be tough. As a Yankees fan, I already deal with bandwagoners enough, but now it’s about to get worse. Do we embrace them? Shun them? Run them through a ringer of pop quizzes, physical exercises, and Fear Factor style challenges? I hate bandwagoners, but they are coming…so what do we do?
I am so happy and sad right now.
Bittersweet is the word.
I mean, how can you not LOVE bringing Carmelo Anthony aboard??!!
But sonuvabitch! We just rebuilt fucking Denver in ONE trade!!! Yeah I knew we would give up some big pieces, but come on guys, seriously!
And for anyone thinking those of us against this move are against it because it included Gallinari and Mozgov; pay attention. It’s not the individual players as much as it is the collective amount of talent.
FURTHERMORE, we are gonna need some serious budget management from here on out cus we are about to be the only team with a PAIR of $20Mil players. Adding ANY high talent guy is gonna be questionable at best, regardless of the new CBA.
Lastly… holy balls this thread is fucking apeshit crazy! I can’t keep up with every refresh!

melo is greedy
gallo is def the biggest loss.i loved the way he drove to the basket so often even tho he is a great shooter and comes from a place where u wouldnt think thats what he would be doing melo should ve waited till free agency if he wanted to give newyork a better chance of winning in the long run but he was worried about the contract issues

I nearly vomitted all my food. Only James Dolan can lose this bad on a trade when he had THIS much leverage. Now im gonna have to see either CP3 or D-will runn around in a Knicks uniforn. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Overall, what a rip-off and fuck you Isiah Thomas for once again screwing the knicks. I don’t think ill be able to watch a knicks game for a few years. Good bye basketball

The Knicks just undid every move he made to reshape this roster.
And just for good measure, THREE more draft picks gone. And we are gonna need those fuckers since we will have to fill out this roster with cheap parts next year.

Exactly
THREE more draft picks gone
Weren’t we over the tanking our draft picks? I know lotsa a peeps (and MANY who weren’t here yesterday) are saying we just got amazing – well sure, Melo is amazing – offensively, but we’ve just completed fixing 10 years of FA and Draft mismanagement…if we’re tentative and feeling deja vu, can you really blame us. I for one will have to see things fall into place with my own eyes before I feel a sense of peace about this trade. Many here have used the word bittersweet. Fitting
Dolan will buy draft picks

Really conflicted
I grew up a Syracuse fan. My Dad’s horror stories of Derrick Coleman missing the front end of a one and one and Indiana hitting the game-winner in the National Championship in 1987 still haunt me. Melo brought me the best sports moment I’ve had as a fan and he’s been my favorite player.
But I loved Gallo. I loved Wil. And we NEEDED size. We’re not doing shit against Boston or LA yet.
But it is what it is now. We have two top-10 players in Melo and Stat. I’m going to put my head in the sand and pretend Isaiah Thomas isn’t coming back. I’m rooting for these knicks but I have really mixed feelings right now.
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
fuck Keith Smart. Hate Indiana ever since and that ucker is now coaching Golden State.

Yahoo reported about Earl Barron
as a side note, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that “The Knicks are telling free-agent center Earl Barron(notes) to stay in shape and they’ll touch base after the trade deadline.” So it looks like an old favorite should be returning to add some punch to the Center depth.
If Woj is saying it
we probably told him to stay home

"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Heist
So we traded every asset not named Fields or STAT , traded away 3 draft picks, 3 million bucks and had two contracts dumped on us (Brewer and Balkman). This theoretically while having the advantage as the only other place Melo wanted to play.
We neutered our GM, brought back the specter of Isiah and let the bufoon owner take charge of negotiations.
We will likely lose the next two games due to lack of personnel, Mojo and chemistry bringing us back to .500.
It’s not inconceivable that we either miss the playoffs or get crushed in the first round.
Walsh then “retires” this summer and D’Antoni is fired for not getting the most out of a blown up a team 3 years in row.
Zeke returns in some official capacity after he leaves FIU by “mutual agreement”

If you don’t care about wins though and you have Amar’e and Melo on your fantasy team life is very very good.
Assuming the Knicks score the NBA avg number of points per game the big 2 should be scoring 30pts apiece on an average night. Who, other than Billups would dare take shots?

I'm not a salary cap tactician
And I know Anthony Randolph had a very, very limited role on this team. Was it possible for us to NOT make the Minnesota deal? The Knicks could’ve used Curry’s expiring elsewhere for a big man, and POSSIBLY used Randolph sparingly to grab some rebounds off the bench.
It just seems that Corey Brewer wasn’t needed. He plays the same position as Bully and Extra E, and the deal itself was separate from the main trade with Denver. Am I wrong here?

In that case,
Wasn’t the Minnesota deal entirely separate from the Denver one? Like we didn’t have to make it to complete the Denver one but did anyway? It’s just that the team is so thin up front now that we could have traded AR for a big, or hell, even just kept the damn guy and used Curry in another deal. Brewer just seems like overkill.

Okay, fair enough
Just wanted to understand this. The two deals seemed separate, but it’s true that Curry needed to be dealt to make the numbers work. AR, on the other hand…
Amazin Avenue Offseason Plan Contest Winner - 2011 Mets
Minny wasn't taking on Curry's contract for free.
AR was the price.
"I think Murdertron makes a good point though."
You're obviously right
I’m just basing my thought process on this of when expiring contracts were the shizz for teams that wanted some money to come flying off the books. I’m guessing Minnesota is under the cap, so it didn’t make a difference to them.
Amazin Avenue Offseason Plan Contest Winner - 2011 Mets
They would have needed someone else to take Curry's contract to make the salary math work

I may be the only one but I think we can do some damage in the playoffs
Especially if we can get Baron and he plays like he did at the end pf last season we will be a handful for a lot of teams. Melo will also have the eye of the tiger and I see his defensive effort increasing significantly. The fact we got Brewer makes me feel a lot better also, extra E will get more time and more open looks playing with stat and melo and from what I remember Chauncy excelled in MDA’s system at the olympics.
It’s tough giving up guys who we have become attached to but this was too good an opportunity to pass up we were only barley 500 and anyone who says we are not a better team now is crazy. Now where does the line for Melo jerseys start?

well, the only thing we know for sure is that there's a ton of hype now
i’m going to Knicks/Jazz in two weeks, and tickets in my section are now three times more than what i paid for them on stubhub. so at least i can feel good about saving the cash!
and i saw that seats at the Bucks game wednesday are starting at $200 a pop. crazy!

sad to see those hardworking knicks go
i just hope that the next time denver plays the knicks, we can at least show those three that it’s worth the trade. if not, then they’ll be just laughing their asses off.

So what's our lineup for Wednesday?
I assume the guys we traded away don’t get to play, but at the same time the trade won’t have officially gone through due to physicals and all the bureaucratic red tape holding things up…does this mean we have a short roster for the Wednesday game?
Happy we have Melo, but It's gonna hurt when Gallo drains that first three pointer against the Knicks. Good night all.
In Donnie we trust.
and then does the stinkface and gets stat on foul trouble... damn...

damn..

yes we gave up a little too much, but that doesn’t hurt as much. what hurts is they will wind up in nj. pardon my language, but. you know what im more civilized than that. i hope the nets burn in hell.
so much for civility

Reina is always excellent and I agree with his analysis. This deal makes the prospect of a 2012-13 championship very real, but it comes at a large cost. Which makes sense, if we go on to win titles, but yeah. I do wonder if the Nuggets were ready to send Melo to a rental destination if we didn’t include Gallo and Mozzy. That could have been the wild card – maybe Proky would have made a move and took his chances.

I see you, OJ Mayo

don't necessarily WANT to keep brewer
but i wouldn’t mind having him around – good defensive versatility a la gallo, chandler
great athlete, limited offensive game
by Herb Williams' Career Progress on Feb 22, 2011 2:47 AM EST up reply actions
Id like to keep him.
Hes a defensive guy in a offense system. Which would make his limited offense better. And plus, he’s not a guy who jacks up shots. Hes an energy guy who likes to play D. And can play the 2 or 3.
I like a defense lineup of him and TD at the 1 & 2.
I think Brewer can be the silver lining in this deal

any way we go after brooks, as insurance if we dont get cp3/d-will in 2012? i could live with a team of brooks/fields/melo/amare/ decent big. any thoughts?
Looks like Felton will come off the bench in Denver for a couple games
I wonder if D’antoni does the same with Billups

Billups has chemistry with Melo and has played with Amar'e (and MDA) on team USA
I think there is enough familiarity to have him start right away

Billups is a real key for me because he's better than Felton and will play his best ball
for the next 15-16 months. I just love the fact that he’s won championships! He’s played on teams where teamwork rebounding and passing were key elements. His intangibles added to the Melo factor is a huge plus for us going into the playoffs.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
agreed
He should also get PLENTY of open 3’s playing with Amar’e as well as Melo

Enjoy the drinking binge now because ......
tomorrow the hangover begins as Isaiah Thomas is effectively in charge of the Knicks. For ANY of you who are giddy about this trade ….. you’d better think twice about what this means for the direction of the Knicks going forward with Isaiah calling the shots. We’ve all lived through the tortuous years of Isaiah’s first regime. Do we really think the second regime will be any better????
This is not happening
Isaiah is not returning to the knicks in any capacity. I am sure he helped keep tabs on worldwide wes and others for Dolan and pushed Dolan to make it happen but that doesn’t mean Thomas was THE decision maker in this deal.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
am trying to think positive thoughts but with dolan here... i dunno if i can remain positive
say since it’s isiah can we acquire joe johnson’s bear of a contract?
Victory goes to the courageous!!
Also don't count out A'mare's influence in this deal either
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
I kind of hate to say it
but we do actually have 2 good players here. So while IT will do its damnest to fuck it up, he really can’t go overboard this time
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Big time sigh..
I’m glad it’s over and done with.. kinda sucks to lose El Gallo. Peace to ILL Wil’, Ray-Ray and Moz’. 2 out of those 4 will be missed.
i think it's 4 to be missed man

-Jason Garrett, November 10th, 2010.
I am giving up on the Knicks.
Sorry guys I am a die hard Knicks fan but now?! forget it. Dolan is a dumb ass. How can you still listen to a guy that single handedly messed it up in the 1st place and not listen to some1 who brought it back to respectability? Carmelo Anthony is a fool. he is a HORRIBLE player. only reason he scores over 20 ppg is cause he chucks up stupid shot after stupid shot and ruins the team around him. he could be a decent park player but to play on a team? im sorry he is worthless. i didnt want to see him in a knicks uniform EVER. i wanted to wait for chris paul and that would of been enough to get the Knicks into title contention. now i say they will be lucky with the 8th seed. I mean look at what you gave up to get avg and below avg players. If there was some way i can contact the Knicks and tell them i would. i am furious over this trade and over the fact that walsh, who is a savior in my opinion, and dantoni said no to the trade offer last week and the knicks actually sweetened the pot for the nuggets. i think this is beyond pathetic. jim dolan has ruined the knicks and only some moronic ppl who dont know true basketball will continue to watch the knicks. i am gonna stop watching their games and even their channel. i will come online to watch old knicks videos of the good teams they used to have. sad thing is that the knicks as an organization are gonna make a ton off of sponshorships and all. too bad the team will be getting embarashed on the hardwood. if i was donnie walsh i would let the contract expire and go back to indiana. only place he can get his good name back. god this team needs help. for over several years i been calling for dolan to sell the knicks. this is proof he should. im tired of seeing such a respected franchised constantly be embarassed cause of a dumb owner and some1 who doesnt even work for the team anymore.
im sorry all this is too pathetic for me to handle. im too ashamed to say i was a knick now. now to find a decent respectable team to cheer for
ok
Adios. You can not be a fan of this trade. But did it ruin the Knicks? Only hours later, before 1 game has even set to be played? lmao, dont let the door hit u.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
I don't like the trade either. I like Melo, but not what we gave up.
However, remember your “letter of resignation” when the Knicks win a championship. Wont be this year, and who knows about next year and beyond…
But if this makes you “give up” then don’t come back here when the glory days of a championship return and change your mind.

Underrated part of this trade:
You guys now have the most clutch player in the NBA!! Stats-wise at least, heh…
"If it wasn’t for In-and-Out burger, I probably would have gone to Memphis or something." – Ron Artest
We still ain't much better!! No Defense
I feel that we should of kept Chandler. He was truly a diamond in the rough. His stats are comparable to Joe Johnson, and doesn’t even get nearly as close as Joe does. We will regret trading Wil in the future.
We still need a solid center who can play defense, if we want to consider ourselves contenders…
There were ten starters in the all star game and we have two of them!
This isn’t the perfect storm yet but when you have two players this talented on the same team other players get much better than they should be. Defensively we aren’t there but we cannot be stopped, period. Jumpers aren’t falling? iso Melo, Billups or Stat. Jumpers are falling? You’re cooked.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
I agree, but..
Every championship team plays defense, regardless of how many all-stars you have. I like Carmelo, but I feel that it is urgent that we get a big man. I always wanted someone like Tyson Chandler, and look at Dallas now. If they had Butler healthy, they would have been really strong contenders.
Having a real offensive force is great, but it isn’t any different if you play weak on the other end. Opposing teams would appear to look amazing only against us.
Hopefully Melo and Amar’e wouldn’t be the case, but defense is required
We gave away the house.
Not a mansion, but a very serviceable house. Warm & cozy, it had it’s leaks & flaws but it withstood all the storms. We got used to that house. Now we have the foundation for our own mansion. We might get another pillar in FA for our foundation. Yes I cried when we gave away our house, but I see the framers are making this new house take shape. It’s starting to look pretty good. Hope we keep the same architect. He has the plans in his pocket.
"Moving Forward."
