Interesting. I was waiting for the 1 hour special on ESPN.

**Amun-Ra** · 02-21-2011, 11:52 PM

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a bad deal for the Knicks? I mean they lose two real good young players in Felton and Galinari for Melo. Billups is getting old and the other players are not worth it.

They could have waited and got him in the off-season as a free agent.

**Strikeout King** · 02-21-2011, 11:59 PM

^ Corey Brewer was also dealt to the Knicks in this deal

That is exactly what I said too. I dont like this move by the Knicks at all, and they gave away a lot of Melos supporting cast.

That aint bad but I dont think he is anywhere near the player of Galinari.

**Strikeout King** · 02-22-2011, 12:19 AM

^ i didn't know he was dealt until someone informed me that he had been dealt, when i last looked at the story it had the same players in it that i posted

**HawksRule** · 02-22-2011, 12:30 AM

Well Aslan can change that picture now.

**MVP2** · 02-22-2011, 01:11 AM

I'm glad to see Melo end up in New York but I was hoping they would'nt give up Danilo Gallinari. However, I'm glad the whole Melo trade talk is over.

Melo would have re-upped with Denver. He was set to lose as much as $50M if he would have waited it out. Thus, New York's only chance was to make a deal!

Aslan can leave his...
I have to change mine though lol
It was getting old anyway

**LWC** · 02-22-2011, 10:25 AM

Glad that it is over, and that it did not take 4 1st rounders. The Nets were in a losing game from the start.

KentuckyAvenger · 02-22-2011, 10:40 AM

This is a good move for the Knicks. Billups is a solid pg. All they need is solid role players

I read that the Nets owner said the only reason he threw that on the table was to get NY to offer more to get him at the deadline.

**Ballers** · 02-22-2011, 10:48 AM

Knicks are already a force...
Billups, Amare, and Melo... Dangerous cast.

K_Mac · 02-22-2011, 11:44 AM

^ would have been much more dangerous if they could have kept just Felton.

Commodore_Colonel · 02-22-2011, 12:23 PM

Let the bandwagoneers roll.

***zaga_fan*** · 02-22-2011, 02:17 PM

If they could have kept Galinari they would have been FIERCE.
Billups at point, Melo leading in scoring, Amare ruling the paint, and then when all else fails kick it to Galinari for the trey....

They are going to be a good team.
But I just think they should have held on to Galinari.

The Knicks still won't have it all together come postseason Wink

Isn't this the truth!

**Aslan** · 02-22-2011, 09:50 PM

The Knicks did give up a few good pieces in this deal but, this deal definitely makes them better. They was just a .500 team before this deal. Now they have Amare, Melo, Billups, and a few decent role players. This deal also gave them some cap space, so they gave themselves an opportunity to sign a big free agent when the time comes.

**Ballers** · 02-22-2011, 10:19 PM

K_Mac Wrote:^ would have been much more dangerous if they could have kept just Felton.

Felton IMO could do better.

Commodore_Colonel Wrote:Let the bandwagoneers roll.

Surely your not pointing that at me, I hate the Knicks but this team will be good.

Grand Slam · 02-23-2011, 02:58 AM

Trades and moves during free agency like these are killing small market nba teams..not a fan of leaving little teams out in the cold...When i grew up in the 80's and 90's each team had one or two good players and depended on role players such as Bulls. Do you think Jordan could have won without the likes of Kerr, Rodman, Harper and so on I think not? This new NBA is leaning towards a monopoly for the wealthy franchises. Jordan and Barkley said the would have never called or made a pat to play on the same team.

goscots56 · 02-23-2011, 10:04 AM

What the freak where they waiting for!?!

**MVP2** · 02-24-2011, 12:22 AM

I'd let to get a seat on the wagon, I'm a fan of the Celtics but I'm going to be cheering for these Knicks the rest of the year. I hope they win it all.
