Denver is trying to pull a 3-way deal with the Mavs and Nets. Details are sketchy. Devon Harris to the Mavs, Felton to the Nets. Not sure what Denver is getting.

holy toledo batman the knicks got robbed. heard they are holding tryouts tomorrow to fill the 9 roster spots left. did they really trade 4 starters. off a team that had no depth before. down right insane what they gave up. the cap is gonna go way down next year if they plan on making a big 3 someone is going to have to take alot less money, talking like half of what they would get to stay on there current team

Knicks did sure give up a ton for a guy that was going to sign with them after the season anyway.

I still can't believe some of the people bashing this trade like the Knicks got robbed. HELLO we are talking about Timofey Mozgov, Gallinari, Chandler and Felton! who they hell are they and what have they done! nothing! christ...this is Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups we are talking about here..

starting 5 is

Billups
Fields
Melo
Amare
Turiaf

with Brewer, Douglas, Azuibuke, Carter, Williams, Rautins, Mason Jr and Walker coming off the bench.

I just can't wrap my brain around people complaining about this deal, the Knicks just traded 4-5 players where maybe 1 would start a championship caliber team for freaking Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Billups is aging and not really a perfect fit for the offense. He's also highly unlikely to come back after this year. The Knicks traded lots of young potential for Carmelo. Anthony is a great scorer but he doesn't play a ton of defense and hasn't proven he can win in the playoffs.

Chandler is a big man that scores 16 PPG. Hard to find those types. Felton was putting up nearly 20 points and 10 assists a game. Gallinari was putting up 15+ points per game and is young. I know the Knicks' offense skews the stats, but those are some solid pieces. If Carmelo had 3-4 years left on his contract, the deal would make more sense. He was going to sign with the Knicks anyway and I think they overpaid.

I also don't think the Knicks will be that much better with Carmelo. Teams that don't play any defense win a ton of regular season games and then get beat by good defensive teams in the playoffs. It's not a championship formula.
