    If Billups intends to see the money he's smart to play out the contract.

      First off, it's not because Felton is so great, it's because Billups is a decaying corpse who is getting worse and slower. He's going to crash and burn in D'Antoni's system.

      Second, Whatever makes you feel better now, I guess.

      A year or two from now, though, you'll probably be wishing you waited for CP3 or D-Will and not Melo.

          This.

          Anthony is a great player, but they gave up a lot. BUT they will end up with Paul or Williams in a year or 2. It's already written. Paul "hinted" after Lebron went to Miami. But if they see whats happening in Miami, you can't gut your team and expect Amare and Anthony to wave their wand over the team and make a bad supporting cast suddenly play great. Only time will tell.

            I thought it was too for most of this debacle over the last few months. But I think it boils down to the fact that Melo was never going to be a FA. He was signing that extension whether it was in Denver, NJ or NY and Denver (and the Knicks) knew that was the case.

              Re: Carmelo Anthony Traded To New York

              Revised deal:

              NY -
              Carmelo Anthony
              Chauncey Billups
              Shelden Williams
              Anthony Carter
              Renaldo Balkman
              Corey Brewer (from Minnesota)

              Denver -
              Wilson Chandler
              Raymond Felton
              Danilo Gallinari
              Timofey Mozgov
              NY's 2014 first-round draft pick
              Warriors' 2012 second-round pick (from David Lee sign and trade to GS)
              Warriors' 2013 second-round pick (from David Lee sign and trade to GS)
              $3 million in cash (from Knicks)

              Minnesota -
              Anthony Randolph
              Eddy Curry
              $3 million in cash (from Knicks)

              Denver also saves 14 million in salary, won't pay tax. Also there's a question about the first round pick NY is trading since they are supposedly not allowed to do it. Could be another team's pick or the protections have changed on their 2012 pick to Houston.

                Melo does not compare to the FA's last summer. No one knew what Lebron was thinking. We were just one of 5 teams in the running. This summer we would not be competing against a bunch of other good destinations with cap space, and we know that Melo's #1 choice is New York.
                Right but that's ignoring Melo not wanting to take a chance with the CBA. If the Nuggets didn't move him, they would have a jump on getting him to sign the extension.

                    Yes, I'm happy with getting the best scorer in the NBA. It makes me feel better now. Obviously I'd prefer Deron Williams but there are way too many things that can happen between now and the time those guys would hit the FA market.

                    We'll just disagree on Billups, we'll see come post season.

                      Yep, that's why I'm not crying over it.

                      Plus, when you look back, Denver won all of 2 playoff series (both in the same year) since they drafted Melo. Granted, they were terrible before Melo came to Denver but still, not a ton of postseason production since 2003.

                      Denver starting over is OK with me. I'll be supportive, and I'll hop on the Knicks bandwagon (make room, ehh) because of Melo.

                      The rumors got old but I'm so glad this didn't end up like 'The Decision, Pt. 2'

                        We will.

                        Better hope you don't play Boston or Chicago.

                          Thats how good he is man.

                          I gave him my team MVP of the first half because after what seems like 10 years, he has finally helped the Knicks out by leaving.

                              True, I just think the Nuggets would have given in and we could have got him for less, but it's just my opinion.

                              I am excited to have him, we'll be a good team for years to come. I just don't know how we are going to get the rest of the pieces needed to win a championship but we'll see.
