So the Knicks essentially got Melo for Gallo+mozgov?

[Darthkiller]

chandler is a FA, knicks arent resigning him at the price he is asking

knicks can buy draft picks every year

felton is a wash with billups at best.

randolph and eddy curry dont ever see the floor


so really it boils down to melo for gallinari and mozgov

[sefant77]

Anthony wanted everything, Knicks and max extension and Knicks paid that with Gali and Moscow

You do realize they could have done a sign & trade with Wilson, if what you say is true. Felton>>Billups.

[Sportcamper]

Sheesh…The Nuggets scored on this deal…3 starters, 1st round draft picks, cash…All for a player who checked out before this season started…Lets be honest here, Melo is a great player but he is no Shaq or LeBron…The guy is NOT dominant…N.Y. gave up too much…

Lockout next summer...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the Nuggets made out like bandits on this deal. Chandler, Gallinari, and Felton can all put up 20 pts a game and play well together, and they got them all for one ballhogging defensively deficient overrated superstar. WOW.

The small lineup of Felton, Afflalo, Gallo, Chandler, and Nene will be fun to watch.

Billups - 34 years old
Felton- 26 years old

By the time NY gets there together and might be actually able to compete for a ring Billups will be on his way out.

Also worth a mention:

Billups: 13.15M
Felton: 7.5M

Both expire after next year.
