He won't help the team's interior defense, he won't help the squad's transition offense, and he won't help Chauncey Billups pretend that it's 2006 all over again. He will score over 20 points per game, sometimes he'll make more than half his shots, and in the 2013-14 season he will earn nearly half as much as the NBA salary cap is for that particular season. Again, it's not the trade, it's the extension.


Knicks fans -- and the New York-area columnists that double as mouthpieces for Isiah Thomas -- can prattle on all they want about how free agents will look past money from other outlets to come play for New York. Because of AAU history or the supposed love of Isiah's game, even if Isiah retired well before some upcoming free agents were even allowed to watch cable at night. What we do know now is that Anthony and Stoudemire could make about 80 percent of New York's cap-allowed payroll following this summer's lockout, and Billups won't help. Walsh put together a plan for the summer of 2012, and as it stands the Knicks will have just Stoudemire and Anthony on the books. But with those two set to make about $40 million combined on a salary cap that might only be around $48 million or so, what's the point?


And who's the point guard? Chris Paul(notes)? Because he liked Isiah when he was in diapers? Come on.


This is what happens when you let star-kissers run your team.

Just enjoy this moment, New York. Because this moment doesn't promise anything beyond what it's already given you.

Great article.

. Dumbest trade of all-time when you could've waited until next year. No wait, LaLa wants to live in N.Y.
laugh.gif
No wait, he wants to get paid. No wait, he wants to play in N.Y.

And all you N.Y. fans are happy about this? Traded a legitimate tough seven footer with actual basketball skills. Who trades away height and toughness in the NBA these days? Who trades away a young 6'9" shooter who is getting better every year? Who trades away a tough player who can come off the bench and get you 12-16 points a night? Who trades away a good, young, fast point guard for a old, slow, on his way out the NBA in 3 years point guard? This is what makes yall happy?????????? This is what yall wanted????????????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Trade all this for a player who ain't even a top 8 player in the NBA?
laugh.gif
Yall think yall go contend for championships with this??????????
laugh.gif
In the next couple of years, the Knicks won't even be better than the Nets once Favors gets it together. And don't let them get Barnes, Jones, or the cat from Texas in the draft, or it might be sooner.

Who trades away all that talent to get a player who does nothing but score, doesn't rebound his position, doesn't pass, doesn't play D, and quits on his teammates? Durant, Kobe, #6, Howard, Wade, Griffin, Paul, sure, yeah. But Carmelo????????
laugh.gif


If Melo reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllly wanted to play for the Knicks and a good team, he would have waited until next year and let the Knicks keep all their good young talent and deal with the fact that he wouldn't get the money he would get under the current CBA. At least he would be on a team with enough talent to compete with the Bulls, Celtics, and Heat. Hell I even put the Hawks ahead of them. But no, dude wanted his cake and eat it too, and now, now, the Knicks will be salary cap strapped for the next few years. Dumb dumb dumb dumb. Just dumb

I wasn't ever going to give y'all props/tell y'all y'all had a squad... What?! Why would I do that???

I was honest when i said y'all had the perfect formula for defeating us with that spread us out due to our troubles of defending the line.  Walsh was building you guys out like Orlando 2yrs ago.
