Minnesota. Walsh is done (Long live Cap'n Zeke.)

shelden williams is a good rebounder and good defender in the post. that's about all he can do and is MUCH better than mozgov in those regards. he's a bruiser which we need but his secondary skills are just not that there and probably won't ever be.

that being said he's loads better than mozgov and is a better rotation partner with turiaf. hopefully we get earl barron back in the mix and he can contribute also.

According to the Times the Knicks got Brewer:

As part of the deal, the Knicks will send Anthony Randolph, Eddy Curry and $3 million to Minnesota, in exchange for Corey Brewer. The Knicks have not yet decided whether to keep Brewer or flip him in another deal. They have several other trade possibilities in the works as they approach the N.B.A.’s Thursday trading deadline.

At first I had a pretty bad taste in my mouth about this deal.

One the one side Carmelo is a Superstar.
On the other we gave up all that we did.

I just read that the Knicks have the rights to Corey Brewer after all the trades.
Knicks are just deciding on whether to keep him or flip him for another asset.

With the Knicks getting Anthony, Billups, 2 bench guys from Denver AND Brewer from Minnesota, the deal is not too bad.

I agree. But the interior defense will still suck.

Billups REALLY didn't want to leave Denver. Wonder if he'll pull what other plays in the past have and just refuse to come to NY. Even if he does come how happy will he be? How's he gonna feel about Melo? There were rumors that Nugget players feel like Melo was just gettin' his and kind of checked out. If Billups was one of those guys you think he'll feel weird about seeing Melo SO happy in NY with Chauncey being miserable being away from his home and his family?

But is it worse? The biggest loss is Chandler's weakside shotblocking. Moz was barely playing and even since he started playing again we were only 4-4.

Shelden Williams is a pretty good defender. Balkman is very good if he's got his head on straight. I'm not sure our D changed a lot here unless you think Moz was gonna develop into something. To me on defense he had a long way to go. He was more of a Nazr Mohammad dunker/rebounder at this point.

By David Aldridge, NBA.com
Posted Feb 21 2011 10:13PM - Updated Feb 21 2011 11:18PM

A league source is confirming a Denver Post report that the Denver Nuggets are trading Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks, NBA.com's David Aldridge reports.

The Post, citing a league source, said the Knicks would send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash.

Along with Anthony, New York would acquire Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, according to the Post.

(previous link) nothing in here on AR and Curry or Brewer but they appear to be updating as reports are confirmed.

Boom!

James Dolan makes more money this season (and foreseeable seasons). Team chemistry is gone. Team identity is gone.

Had enough Melo?

What happens to the draft pick this Summer? Do we still have that?

Billups really wants his extension picked up next year. That's what the doesn't want to leave Denver stuff was about.

Thats not all of it. He's from that area and wants to continue in their front office after his career is done.

so uhh..

Billups
Fields
Melo
Amare
Turiaf

Bench: TD, Walker, Williams, Shelden Williams, Balkman, Brewer

Our bench looks uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly. Not ONE guy who you look at and say..damn that guy should be starting on another team.

Edit:

Oh well this is the part where I tell myself things to make myself feel better like

"Well if we waited till free agency, Melo would have totally extended with Denver or New Jersey."

"Chandler was going to walk after this season anyway after we signed Melo as a FA. Gallo plays the same position as Melo and he would be a rerstricted FA after next season anyway. Felton would have walked and Mozgov is a big stiff white guy. AR will never realize his talent."

There..I feel better already.

That's all of it.

He get a guaranteed extra $10m+ next year. Chauncey Billups is plenty happy this evening.

Well the last week we had One very Questionable Starter in Mosgov and what one Decent Benchplayer in Chandler who by the way was really a starter with his minutes.

As part of the trade, Denver will lose a veteran point guard and hometown favorite in Billups.

"I think Chauncey will go down as one of the greatest winners," Karl said." His record of what, eight, seven, eight conference finals? That's incredible. That's who he is and what he stands for."

We will have 1 of Melo, STAT and Billups on the court at all times. Our bench isn't much different now than it was before. the key is Fields continuing his great play.
