In the end
The Nicks get
1. Melo
2. Chauncy Billups
3. Corey Brewer
& 3 scrubs
with the Nuggets getting
1. Wilson Chandler
2. Danillo Galinari
3. Raymond Felton
4. draft picks
That's not a bad deal for the Nuggets - considering how much they save financially, and the youth they get.
It's nothing like New Jersey was reportedly offering- but that was ridiculous. It would have gone down as the worst trade ever. Remember the HErshel Walker trade, that gave the Cowboys all those draft picks that made them a dynasty, that's what that trade would have done.
i don't really know if any of those players are really that good outside of D'Antoni's system, but we'll see.
If the Nicks were smart, they would have just waited and got him next year as a FA. They should have traded Felton Anthony Randolph & draft picks for Steve Nash.
Now, some may say all the stars are in the East on 4,5,6 teams. And though a couple super-stars are important, it doesn't make a team, especially, if they don't play defense.
If the NBA was NBA Jam, it may be different
Top NBA duos
1. Kobe & Pau Gasol
2. A’mare & Anthony
3. LeBron & Dwyane Wade
4. Chris Paul & David West
5. KG & Paul Pierce
6. D Rose & Boozer
7. Joe Johnson & Josh Smith/Al Hoford
8. Blake Griffin & Baron Davis/Eric Gordan
9. Duncan & Ginobli
10. Derron Williams & Milsap
11. Dwight Howard & Jameer Nelson
12. Durant & Westbrook
13. Dirk & Kidd
14. Monta ellis & Steph Curry
15. Kevin Martin & Luis Scolia
3 on 3
1. Kobe, Gasol & Oden/Artest
2. LeBron, Wade, Bosh
3. Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Hoford
4. Paul Pierce, KG, Rondo/Allen
5. Duncan, Ginobli, Tony Parker
6. Blake, Gordan, Baron Davis
7. D rose, Boozer, Jokiam Noah
The Knicks had to make this trade though. Trading some good role players for a super-star is a no-brainer. But not sure if they'll be able to make the other moves to make them a winner.
