    And it's not like D'Antoni doesn't know this. He coached Carmelo for parts of two seasons in New York and that didn't end well. His last season there was the lock out shortened 66-game 2011-12 season. This was the season after the Carmelo trade. D'Antoni had the rest of that season, all summer, training camp and preseason to figure out how to use Carmelo Anthony and it just didn't work. The Knicks started that season 18-24 under D'Antoni, he got fired and replaced with Mike Woodson, who led the exact same roster to an 18-6 record.

    When D'Antoni says Carmelo won't work in his system, he knows what he's talking about. And, it's not like either party has changed in the last five years. Carmelo still plays ball stopping Carmelo ball and D'Antoni still plays fast and furious, no defense, 7 seconds or less ball.

    The more I think about this, the more I hope it happens - as long as we don't get screwed in the process.

    Vescey (NY Post) used to be THE source of NBA rumors back before the internet. I loved his column and he was very funny. Once the Internet and NBATalk.com (I think that's what it was called; that went away when Google showed up) came around, that was it for Vescey in terms of his influence.

    No, the ESPN Trade Machine only supports a maximum of 4 teams per trade.

    BTW, the largest trade in NBA history involved 5 teams and 13 players.

    Knicks also get a first from Houston and a second from Portland and Brooklyn.

    Neither. Can. Dame.

    He can play defense, it's just not to your standards. Let's see how the defense looks when he and the team knows they have a defensive anchor behind them in Nurk.

    "Whom." It's "whom," for god's sake. The object of a verb or preposition is "whom."

    So then you're making my point. We don't need that many starters that aren't 2 way players. Especially ones that make almost 20 Mil per year (Anderson, Crabbe).
