The New York Knicks got Carmelo Anthony along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter, and Renaldo Balkman while the Denver Nuggets got Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov. The Knicks got the franchise player Carmelo Anthony which is a good combination with Amar'e Stoudemire and to have Chauncey Billups dishing to these two superstars for the next season and if they want to go after CP3 or another top young point guard. The Nuggets look like they get Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov long term with Danilo Gallinari has 16 points and 5 boards while Timofey Mozgov 4 points and 3 boards and will get more minutes in Denver because he had 13.5 a game in New York while also getting Raymond Felton who has had a break out season with 17 points and 9 assists a game but how much was that Amar'e Stoudemire being so good as their is nobody like him to help Raymond look better.
The deal looks better for Denver getting Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov with a first round draft pick in 2114 and a couple of second rounders in between now and then and looking how Bosh left the Raptors with a couple of picks along with a trade exception that runs out after a while of not being used and this also goes for Lebron and the Cavs. While the Knicks now have 2 great pieces in Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony but now the question is what pieces are they going to add to them to make them a top notch team in the very competitive Eastern Conference and it will take them a couple of games to get to know each other as they now have 6 players on their team that were not there before the All-Star Weekend with the addition of Corey Brewer from the Minnesota TimberWolves.
Lets see how this trade works out in the end
