Nets? Screwed.
Knicks? Screwed.
That’s a Win-Win in my book!
but the big loser is Denver, as they will have to spend a fortune repainting the buildings and taking down the billboards bearing ‘Melo’s likeness.
One important point not mentioned; this trade enhances the possibility that the Knicks could pick up a third star player in 2012 - Chris Paul. That would give the Knicks a pretty formidable threesome to rival the Heat and Celtics in the Eastern Conference.
Carmelo is now on the glidepath to being nothing more than mediocre and injured for the next several years.
That is exactly what will happen, too.
Seen it too many times — with overpaid players AND coaches.
