I'm assuming NY had to give up half the team for this to happen?

Now the Knicks have two ballhogs that play no defense and a gutted roster with no draft picks for 40 years.

I swear that idiot James Dolan better not have included Mozgov and/or Fields.

Need specifics of this deal please.

I'll believe it when I see it. The Nets had the deal done 3 times already before it fell through.

Melo is close to being dealt to Knicks, possibly tonight, a source tells Y! Sports.

Looks like it's going down. Basement.

I'm guessing the Harris trade is connected. Harris/Murphy for Miller/Pryz/1st opens 5 mil capspace for NJ. NJ then flips that capspace and 1st to Denver for Gallinari and a few other Knicks. Denver ends up cutting 5 mil more off their salary, which probably ensures them getting under the lux tax for a mass savings of 25 mil

My final predictino for the deal: Raymond Felton, Danillo Gallinari, Utah 1st, and Wilson Chandler to the Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony, Anthony Carter, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams to the Knicks.
Eddy Curry, Anthony Randolph to the Timberwolves.
