Billups also shoots 3s at a 44% clip. But I still like Felton way way more. Felton has all-star games ahead of him. Billups only behind him.


But wish you gotta admit A Billups and Amar'e P&R in the half court set is going to be nice.

Seriously every post this guy makes sounds like he's in the knicks FO. Maybe Donnie secretly knows how to use technology

Sounds close.

Does anybody else think the Nyets will contract and disband if this trade goes through? They can turn the Barclays Center into a soup kitchen.


they can't give tickets away, why do you think they'd have more success with soup



Come now, you're telling me you wouldn't rather eat New England Clam Chowder than watch Brook Lopez throw the ball away and grab two boards? I'm talking good chowder.

Does it really sound like we have the leverage to ask about Nene at this point?

He was also adamant about his situation not being compared to the Leballerina decision. He's been trying to please three sides which is really tough to do. (His $$, Denver, Knicks). This deal is absolutely ALL I would offer, probably a little more. but at the end of the day, you have to pull the trigger.

He should have said he was going to FA no matter what. That would have forced Denver's hand.


Denver would certainly have less leverage that way.

Bottom line is it had to be done (assuming it actually does get done). If it does get done then whats done is done and cant be undone unless it doesnt get done. Get me?

Billups also makes Mozgov better. He's a more patient and better passer.

James Dolan was the only Knicks official to meet with Carmelo Anthony on Thursday in LA. This is now his deal to make.

I hope this is still not enough for Denver and the talks fall apart. There's still a good chance we can land him as a free agent.

That would be all well and good if he wasn't using back channels to make it known he was going Knicks even if it meant FA and then chose to greedily back off the stance in the end. This all could have been done quietly but him and his team (like lBJ) had to milk this out all they could.

Just say no to including Gallo and Fields.

Dammit Walsh...Go buy some 1st rounders since Denver overvalues crappy picks. Trade Douglas for a late 1st.

3 1st rounders, felton, chandler, Curry for melo and Billups would get it done.

Return to New York Knicks
