Carmelo Anthony To New York

The New York Knicks landed Carmelo Anthony in a three-team trade including the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Denver Nuggets sent Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman to the Knicks in exchange for Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first round pick. In order to clear some cap-room space, the Knicks got the Minnesota Timberwolves involved in the trade as well, sending Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry (who the Nuggets refused to take) for Corey Brewer. I personally feel like the overall trade is good enough to satisfy Denver. New York definitely came out on the better end of the trade. I believe that the Nuggets should have tried to receiver more first-round picks than the 2014 pick that they received in the trade. I'm very interested in seeing what Denver's new starting line-up is going to look like. Denver will still be a .500 + team and New York is now a Eastern Conference contender, but still does not have enough talent to compete against the very competitive Eastern Conference.
