ha. Unlike your username (GKF, GKFv2, Childs2Dudley), I'll stand behind what I post. When the breaks are beating the boys--rebrand your username!

Are you mad? I think you're getting a little tense.

I think I saw a little sweat coming from his post.

This and the Anubis thread were a bit premature given the nature of the opponent we defeated in Melo's debut.

The gods know what threads we will see if we upset Miami on Sunday. I may start a "The Dynasty Begins" thread.

The success or failure of this trade will be seen a couple of years down the line, but I was against the trade when it was made, and have no reason to think differently after these first 2 games.

it better not be a couple years down the line. The trade for Melo at all costs group said Amare needs a 2nd star and you cant wastes these years letting Mos/Gallo/Chandler/AR develop. Sorry.. this is a win now team. If this group fails (its poorly constructed as is) it will be the coaches fault. Of course we have seen that song and dance before

Besides the performance of the Knicks NOW, I am also talking about the growth and performance of the guys we gave up when evaluating this trade.

What does "win now team" mean to you?

How exactly will it be the coach's fault if the team is, in your words, "poorly constructed?"

You are aware that many on UK are overrating this trade in terms of what it can do for us NOW. Are you putting yourself in that category? Some might think this is a "win now team," but the closest "win" we are guaranteed with this group is winning a playoff spot, and I am not even sure this is etched in stone at this point in time.

Wow, I knew something was up with that guy........... it's greek. SMH

Cosign, we should Trade Melo for OJ Mayo, Thabeet and some picks!!!!!!!!

Nothing is up with me.

I think you should go back to cheering for Isiah and his every move. You were better at that.

I still remember you yelling at me for hating Isiah. I was a "hater". Then of course Balkman was going to be the next Rodman according to you.

It's all good, though.

Ewing says Anthony gives Stoudemire co-star he never had

ORLANDO – Magic assistant Patrick Ewing issued a little dig this morning, acknowledging he never had it as good as Amar'e Stoudemire in getting a chance to play with another superstar in Carmelo Anthony.

It was one of the themes of Ewing's glorious but championship-less Knicks run. They never found another superstar to play alongside.

"A great player. A great player,'' Ewing said of Anthony at the Orlando morning shootaround before the Magic host the Knicks Tuesday night. "New York hasn't had two bona fide superstars since Willis (Reed) and Earl (Monroe) and Clyde (Frazier). Those guys are two bona fide superstars (Stoudemire-Anthony).''

Asked who was the best player he ever played with Ewing said, "Second-best teammate? John Starks, Allan (Houston , Spree (Latrell Sprewell), Oak (Charles Oakley). But they're not Carmelo. They're not Carmelo.''

Ewing said he has lived to accept that he never had that great cast around him. The Knicks were one game away from a title in 1994 against the Rockets when Starks had one of his worst-ever shooting nights in Game 6, going 2-of-18 and 0-of-11 from 3-point range.

"I can't worry about that now,'' Ewing said. "I've been retired a 100 years. It feels like a 100 years.''

Ewing said Anthony and Stoudemire should have no problem coexisting.

"They both have to share it,'' Ewing said. " You can't worry about it. The city's big enough. There's enough spotlight to go around.''

With Chauncey Billups the third key piece, as the clutch veteran point guard, Ewing said the Knicks have become a formidable challenge.

"Everybody kept talking about him as a throw-in,'' Ewing said. "A throw-in. People overlooked him when he first started. He's played great games. He's won championships.''

Can they compete as a top dog in the East?

"Definitely. They have two great players,” Ewing said. “Before it was only one with some great perimeter shooters around them. Now they have two great players and good perimeter shooters around them. ''

The Knicks plan to have maximum cap space in 2012 and center Dwight Howard, Ewing's prodigy, will be a free agent.

"He's staying in Orlando,'' Ewing said. "He ain't going nowhere. I told him if he's going anywhere, I'm chopping his legs off. ''

Ewing looked at the throng of New York media around him and said at their practice court inside Amway Arena, "I haven't seen this many of you on the road in a while. Man, is it the playoffs?''

Not yet.
