I don't even think NY is getting "raped" in that trade. You get Billups in return for Felton. Melo in return for Gallo. Give up a 1st round pick that will likely be a mid-late 1st(definitely not a lottery pick) and Chandler or Fields. Curry is just a throw in to make the money work. I don't know if NY realizes that they're trading for Carmelo Anthony or not, but I would've signed on the dotted line on that one.

I understand they're trying to keep their roster intact, and who knows, 6 months from now they could look like geniuses if Melo signs with NY as a FA, but I wouldn't even take the risk of him signing elsewhere(even if the chances are slim). Just make the trade happen and get it over with. You're giving up some decent players, but they're just guys. This is Carmelo Anthony.

^Your getting a old Bullips for a young up and coming Felton. I wouldn't make that trade^

Yea 23... I could only imagine for the players on each team. That feeling of "this could be my last game with this team".

The LeBron thread will be there until the Heat win a championship lol

I dont believe Felton is that up and coming. Everyone knows that he's just a place holder until 2012 when NY was going to go after Paul or Williams. I'd take Billups for the next two years over Felton. I would have made that deal in a heartbeat.

I just don't see Bullips as an improvement over Felton right now. But that's just my opinion.

I agree, not only is felton playing great on the offensive end, but he's also one of the best defenders on the team...

On a team that doesn't play defense, thats not saying much.

Felton had an all-star worthy year. Why would you trade him in the hopes of landing Paul or Williams especially with a new CBA looming. He will never be Williams or Paul ,but he is more than good enough to lead a championship team.
