When popular TNT courtside reporter Craig Sager interviewed Carmelo Anthony on the bench during the NBA All-Star game, the latter said he will suit up for the Denver Nuggets when they play the Memphis Grizzlies upon resumption of the regular season games tomorrow. Unfortunately, he won't. After five months, the long-running "Melodrama" series has finally come to an end as the Nuggets traded Anthony along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, to the New York Knicks for Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash, according to the Denver Post. The stage is now set for the Amare Stoudemire-Anthony dynamic tandem in the Apple City and from the looks of it, the Knicks will definitely make a lot of noise as the playoff push enters the crucial stretch. Now the question is will Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets make it a three-headed monster for the Knicks next season?
“The Carmelo Anthony trade saga is finally over.
“The Nuggets traded Melo to the New York Knicks tonight, a league source said. Denver gets Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.
“Anthony will go to New York, along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.
“Anthony was not at the Nuggets' practice as the team resumed workouts following the All-Star break. Billups left the team's Monday practice without speaking to reporters.”
