Carmelo Anthony finally got his way. After months of whining, wheeling and dealing, and much ado, 'Melo landed himself in a Knicks uniform late Monday night.
In a blockbuster deal, the Nuggets sent 'Melo, Chauncey Billups, Antony Carter, Renaldo Balkman, and Shelden Williams to the Knicks. In return, New York gave up Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Timofey Mozgov, a 2014 first round draft pick, two second round picks in 2012 and 2013 (via the Knicks' prior trade with the Warriors), plus $3 million cold hard cash.
Will this trade make New York better? Undoubtedly. As for Denver? Well....not so much, especially in the beginning. I feel for the Nuggets because they lost a proven commodity, a classy leader. No, I'm not talking about 'Melo...I'm talking about Chauncey Billups. Even George Karl, the Nuggets' head coach, lamented having to lose a veteran leader like Billups just to alleviate the team of the Carmelo cancer.
Thank God we finally got that thug-punk-coward 'Melo out of the Western conference. Now we only have to see him twice a year.
Mama always said, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. So in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
