    It's a great move, regardless.

    What I loved was how bewildered Billy King was by his boss' move. It was almost like he didn't understand there was an alternative to taking endless grief and garbage from a "franchise" player like 'Melo. You can just say, "no more". Skinny Drago is right; it went on too long and was too public. There are other ways to build a team.

    The Nets are now my second favorite team.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm disappointed that the deal fell apart. I'd love to see Carmelo playing for a team that isn't in the Northwest Division.

    Denver didn't overplay their hand. Anthony played the LeBron hand. He wants to go to the best possible Knicks team, so he'll just go as a free agent in the Summer, so the Knicks don't give up anything. This will leave Denver like Cleveland.

    Wait until Chris Paul joins Anthony and Stoudemire in NYC after next season (at the latest).
