Knicks FINALLY acquire Carmelo Anthony (and Chauncey Billups)

[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.

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.

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.

Amazing article Empire.

 

[Sean]

not surprised, he seemed uneasy when he was interviewed last night. Chandler has also said he didnt wanna play in Denver.

Lawson is the starter, deal Felton please

Knicks Won 114-108 at home against the Bucks

Landry Fields led the team in minutes with over 42, he went 3-6 from the field, 7 Pts, 6 boards

D'antoni only played 8 guys (Douglas, Shawne Williams and Walker off the bench so safe to assume some of the new bench guys will need some practice time before they may see playing time)

Carmelo played 39 minutes, went 10-25 from the field, 27 Pts, 10 boards

Amare played 34 minutes, went 6-13 from the field, 19 Pts, 5 boards, 4 assists

Billups played 33 minutes, went 4-12 from the field (12-12 from the line), 21 pts, 8 assists, 6 boards, 2 steals

Turiaf played 20 minutes, Shawne Williams played 24 minutes off the bench.

Big surprise was Toney Douglas off the bench who went 10-12 from the field (3-5 from downtown) to score 23 points, 3 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals in 29 minutes

Both Amare and Melo ran into foul trouble late in the third with four fouls a piece. Amare fouled out late in the 4th and ended up with another technical, one more and he'll be suspended a game.

They get to practice tomorrow before flying to Cleveland .

Ehh Melo couldn't hit a shot all night, but he nailed one at the end when we needed it. He played a lot better defense then I thought he would.

New York City is awesome.
I avoided the traffic by staying at a Holiday Inn Express in New Jersey on the rapid transit line (about 45 minutes to Grand Central Station).
NYC is just one of those cities you have to visit - so much character.
My hotel setup was awesome because the hotel was cheap, the rapid transit incredibly convenient, and the city itself so different than any city in the world.
When I was there (2004), you could pay $11 and use the transit system all day.

I stayed at the La Quinta Inn in Queens, on Queens Blvd, like 4 blocks from the 7. MTA pass was like $29 for 7 days, and i used it up pretty good.

And yea, i heard how if you were lost, you can just ask anyone and they would help you, so true. At night man, that was a different city, lol, my last night I walked through Times Square, I was there earlier in the day, not the same place, way more active.


Anyway, saw some of the game on a stream, probably just the excitement of finally getting there. But he calmed down and made the game his.

I love the city. I got family scattered all around so I know where I am most of the time. The part that I absolutely love is that it really never sleeps. I love a place that at 4 AM there is something to do. Down here there isn't shit to do after 2 AM.
