    Another thread about how this unfinished trade is all but completed. This has been the most exciting time of my life, and I'll be sad when it's over. As the suspense has grown over the months of daily discussion, the growing drumbeat of anticipation has demanded that we drop everything and get on board this bandwagon.

    When this imminent trade becomes more imminent tomorrow, it will be even more enthralling. I have never seen such enduring imminence.

    Denver's lineup is much deeper/more balanced, but NY's lineup definitely has more firepower.

    The Knicks will not have the cap room to go after CP3 or Deron unless they take a big pay cut.

    Nene would be a perfect fit next to LaMarcus...

    I don't think the Knicks got any better to be honest.

    For those that care--this is a Broncos town--the overwhelming feeling is relief. Melo has put himself ahead of the team and the team has been playing with a cloud over it the entire season. Now they can close the book on the Melo years, boo the shit out of him when he comes to play and rebuild. I think Thugget fans will be pleased with how much they received for him, most were expecting much less.

    They did some interesting players, and George can probably work with it. I am glad Billups went, because that team is now lottery bound.
