[sigh] No, it doesn't.
Source article says the Nuggets are seeking at lease one first round pick in a trade.
Source article says Walsh "indicated" what he needs most to make the Knicks a title contender "is a future first-round draft pick to use in a Carmelo Anthony trade."
Those are two different facts.
Wiretap article says: " The Nuggets recently told the Knicks they will need to include a pick before a deal for Anthony is possible."
1st of all, "recently" is pure embellishment by Wiretap, as is the notion the Nuggets told the Knicks this directly.
The source article never says this, and given this is incredibly important context, if this was the case, it would have.
Source article implies the Knicks are under the impression a trade for Anthony would require a first rounder and that if he wanted to pursue a trade for Anthony, Knicks would have to get one.
Wiretap article says the Nuggets and Knicks have engaged in "recent", direct talks and that Walsh was revealing aspects of that conversation to the press.
I suppose it something of a futile gesture to advocate Wiretap getting context and facts correct when many of its readers won't recognize the difference anyway.
