    I have a question for all the knicks fans

    What's your thoughts on the carmelo trade rumors? I understand that the city of NY wants melo badly but is there anyone who really believes that one player is really worth the entire starting lineup? Knicks aren't going anywhere with just Stoudemire and Anthony, and Billups is going to leave as soon as he can.

    Knicks are downright stupid if the rumors are true and they move forward with this trade.

    I think the knicks giving up 4 starters would be waaaay to much. They should give up Galo, chandler and fields and not get billups.

    I don't get it. WHY would the Knicks give up ANYTHING? Let Melo stay in Denver and then sign him in the offseason while keeping your lineup. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

    No point in going to either team via trade. You go to the Nets and you have no first round picks to help your team while giving up quality guys. Same with the Knicks. Amare and Melo, sure. That's it. He wants to go to the Knicks. Smart thing to do is wait til the offseason and just sign him.

    Lifelong Knicks fan here. Don't respect the move. Just giving up way too much. We need to worry about depth and size, not clearing out the locker room.

    I agree... Just sign him in the off season and you come off nothing... This is the weirdest trade issue that ive ever heard... He's one of the best scorers in the league but by no means is he a championship level player... So the team getting him will have a marque name on the roster but will have an annual first round exit team

    Agree with all of you regarding the notion that he should just sign in the offseason with NY. I can't understand why more of the media and/or the Knicks front office doesn't point this fact out. Is there some key tidbit of information we are missing in thinking that he could just sign in the offseason? To me the only reason the Knicks would trade for Melo is because they're impatient. Like a little kid who just can't wait til Christmas Day to open his new Playstation 3 even though he knows that it has been and will be sitting there when the day comes.

    wouldnt the trade include us getting Melo and billups. I personally think this is a power move for the knicks and we would finally have a great team. They would need both to get both though and it would be worth it 100%.

    Did you re read that after you wrote it? If a player is one of the best scorers in the league then by default that would make them a championship level player... I think it would be great and i would love for us to have melo along with billups and i think it would put NY in a great position

    why wouldn't you wait til the summer to get anthony while keeping fields, felton, gallinari, and chandler intact? also, I believe billups has made it known that he only wants to play for denver and would likely seek a buyout if he got traded anywhere.

    ^ correct. Billups has said that he would like to play on Miami.
