im surprised by all the nyc is dumb, denver got what they wanted-type posts.  

new york is legit now.  billups, melo, and amare....thats a REALLY good core.  i guess i will be in the minority that says the knicks robbed the nuggets

MIA can free up space by getting rid of guys that just ride the pine anyways. Howard, Magloire...even give up the young guy Pittman.

And it still won't land them Nene, but will just interchange their roster with other guys who just ride the pine.

I think its a great trade for both teams. The Knicks werent going to win a championship with what they had. Gallo was inconsistent, they wouldnt have signed Chandler, Felton wasn't in their long terms plans, Mozgov, I mean really? In return the get a top 5 player, an upgrade at point guard, a reserve in Brewer and rid themselves of Curry. I like it for both teams.

It has nothing to do with "space." Miami doesn't have the assets to land Nene.

Why are you even posting here anyway?

You don't win basketball championships with 3 players. No matter how good those 3 guys are.

[The Walker Wiggle]

What number is he going to wear? 15 is retired.

[bruinsandceltics]

I also do wonder what the asking price for Chandler is.

If it was two first round picks would you do it?

He's a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and Denver's first priority appears to be shedding salary. I'd bet that offer would be enough.

I'd absofreakinglutely do that. Perfect piece to help us win now and in the future.

u win with stars.  its easier to build role players around the stars than vice versa. knicks got the stars now

[The Walker Wiggle]

Broussard just said that Corey Brewer is also going to the Knicks.

Chris Mannix confirms. Brewer is staying in New York not heading on to Denver.

Minnesota is sending Corey Brewer to New York in the Melo deal, source confirms.

False.

The 3 Stooges + Haslem + Mike Miller + Chalmers + Arroyo + Big Z + House = No cap.

But they still don't got the coach.

Interesting...the Eastern conference will be tough going forward.

Spinning forward, 2012 suddenly becomes Armageddon. Expect execs from NY/MIA/LA to quietly woo CP3, D-Will and Dwight ala Riley with Miami 3

I'd do that in a nanosecond.

Man that Knicks team is going to be good, with Corey Brewer in the mix?

Brewer is going to go nuts in the Knicks fast paced system.

That entire team is going to be crazy I cant wait to see it.
