Knicks FINALLY acquire Carmelo Anthony (and Chauncey Billups)

[StealthShot]

Knicks have 15 on the roster, maybe Mason gets waived or a buyout is coming soon.

Denver announced earlier that Gallo will start on Thursday. Lawson/Afflalo sp?/Gallo/Martin/Nene will start with Chandler, Felton and the rest off the bench.

Isola's source says Melo and company will be available tomorrow night.

[Rayman]

Knicks tried earlier today to get Portland involved in the trade to bring Camby back to New York but it never materialized.

NY/DEN/MIN are on a call with the league right now to make the deal official.

Melo has signed the extension, his max amount of $$$ and will be with the Knicks through the 2014/15 season.

I would have been pumped to have Camby back.

Ah, well.

i thought Gallo and some other guys were guy be flipped to other teams?

[Hasselbeck]

Good grief, I remember when BroncoBlue was a respectable poster.. now he's borderline retarded.

They may but Denver's front office said last night their new players will play in Denver.

[Sean]

alright thx, not gonna take it with too much honestly, Melo was supposed to play tonight, not that we need him, lol

[Sean]

None of them look very happy

Saw the link on a Giants board, a long ESPN piece on Chauncey Billups.

Now I understand what Denver means tot he guy...hopefully, he can bring even an ounce of that leadership to New York.

Is this supposed to be sarcasm.. or?

[Sean]

no, they are all putting on their fake smiles, i bet none of them want to be here

Honestly, the Nuggets are not that far off from where they were BEFORE the trade happened, just dont have anyone to rely on in the 4th. I think they're cool.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Felton, not happy..

Sam Amick reports that "Word among rival executives" is that Raymond Felton does not want to be in Denver.
Unfortunately for Felton, Amick also reports that "Denver has said definitively" that none of its new players will be dealt. If that's the case, it's bad news for not only Felton, but for Ty Lawson. The two of them could still have decent value while sharing PG duties and potentially playing together some at the same time, but both will see their upside capped if Felton isn't dealt somewhere else.

[Juggernaut]

The Nugs have such a logjam at the 1-3 spots its not even funny.

[EmpireWF]

Despite what the Nuggets said the night of the trade, there have been reports every day since saying they're considering moving Gallo or Felton for more assets.

One report said they only wanted Felton so they could bounce him elsewhere.
