    Why? They didn't have to trade Carmelo.

    I don't get why people say this. Denver could have played out the season with Melo and gotten nothing back.

      I wouldnt say rape, more like the knicks paying for sex

          Yup that's the rumour but it's not done. Denver can really restock using Melo.

            Now you are just flat out lying.

            There is no universe where Chauncey Billups is an upgrade over Raymond Felton this year.

              The problem was Denver was willing to not trade Melo, they called his bluff on him passing on his extension and walking in the offseason. The man wasn't leaving $20 million on the table, it just wasn't going to happen. I'm sure WWW/Leon Rose were in Dolan's ear the last two weeks saying this was the only chance the Knicks had to land Melo.

                They would have never done that, unless maybe the Knicks stuck to the original offer of Curry, Chandler, and a pick from Randolph, then they might say it's not worth it. But there had to be some middle ground between getting basically nothing, and getting everything they watned.

                  did NYK get anything in return from Minnesota? I think they made out well. They still get to have 1st round picks for the next 3 years to fill out their roster.

                      Why?

                      Felton REALLY hasn't played that great this year out of the 13 of 14 game winning streak. I don't know what your infatuation is with him.

                      His decision making, both passing and shot selection, is pretty damn average. In the post season, when games become more half-court oriented, I'll still take Chauncey. Better shooter, better decision maker and obviously the man is clutch.

                        Soo if the Hornets could commit robbery like this to someone i'd almost be ok with a CP3 trade.

                          But hey, you're right though. All Melo had to do was say "I ain't playin' in NJ" and they could've gotten him for a used Metro North card and a I <3 NY Shirt.
                          Haha I could never pass up the opportunity to plug one of my favorite movies of all time.

                          Carmelo should be in NY for a fun pass metro card in NYC lol. Denver made out well.

                          But if Isaiah is back in Knick offices I'm jumping ship when the Brooklyn arena is built. No chance with that guy running things.

                            It doesn't seem like NY gets anything from Minny. NY most likely won't have their 2012 pick (traded to Houston, top 5 protected).

                              Then they sign Melo in the off-season and Denver would get 0.
