We made quite possibly the worst trade possible for our organization. I know we got Melo which I am happy about, but the Nuggets got everything they asked for. We made and offer, they asked for more, we gave it, they asked for more, we gave it, and they still asked for more - and ultimately they got everything they asked for.
Now we don't know the true details of the negotiations but it looks like the Knicks got taken a little bit.
I don't think Billups part of the trade helps us, he doesn't fit the system but maybe he will help us land CP3. Now Dolan needs to lobby hard to get a new CBA that will allow this franchise to fill out the roster. However, that will also help LA, Boston, and Miami.
We will also get to see if Fields is the real deal now, I think he is - but Gallo and Chandler took a lot of attention off him. Maybe the double team on Melo will do the same thing. We need a shooter and we are in good shape.
