The highly anticipated trade for Carmelo Anthony has finally taken place. The Knicks landed Anthony in a blockbuster three-team, 13-player trade Tuesday with Denver and Minnesota. In addition to Anthony, New York also received Billups, Anthony CarterShelden WilliamsRenaldo Balkman and Minnesota's Corey Brewer. New York sent Wilson Chandler,Danilo GallinariRaymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov to Denver, along with draft picks and cash. The Knicks sent Eddy Curry to Minnesota along with Anthony Randolph for Brewer.


Carmelo and Billups made their Knicks' debut last night against the Bucks. Carmelo had 27 points and Billups had 21 points. Amare Staudemire also has 19 points. With the addition of the two former Nuggets, the Knicks are focussed on making the playoffs this season.

Future Star


This is not really related to New York sports but i found this video online that was made by Johnny McEntee and friends. McEntee is the backup quarterback at Uconn who wanted to showcase his ridiculous accuracy.

The Next Big Three?

The signing of Lebron James and Chris Bosh by the Miami Heat this past offseason has shaken up the league. Lebron and Bosh joined fellow team USA teammate Dwayne Wade in Miami and the Heat were suddenly the hottest team in the league. That could all change by some key moves by the Knicks front office.
Carmelo Anthony


The Knicks' hopes we high last off season to get Lebron, the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft. Now with Lebron out of the picture, Denver Nuggets small forward and the third pick in the 2003 NBA draft, Carmelo Anthony wants to play in New York. Anthony grew up in New York and was a standout at Syracuse. Recently Carmelo has voiced his wishes to play for the Knicks.


   
Chris Paul
 If the Knicks front office plays this one right, they could have one hell of a team. That appeared to be New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul’s wish for the future.  Last summer he predicted him and his friends --  Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire -- would eventually join forces and play for the New York Knicks while making a toast at Anthony’s wedding in New York City.  Amare is already in place making a huge impact this season but if Chris Paul's prediction is right, the Knicks may become a franchise that no team will want to play.
