Carmelo Anthony Amare Stoudemire joins The agreement will end a melodrama as long as the season can not be formalized until Tuesday, when there will be a conference call with the NBA. If completed, will give the Knicks an explosive presence in the key, with Anthony and power forward Amare Stoudemire. New York, however, will pay a high price.
The person who spoke The Associated Press, who asked not to be identified, declined to give details on what players were involved in the pass.
The Denver Post first reported the transfer on Monday, citing sources in the NBA, and said the Knicks would transfer to the Nuggets Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton , Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov in addition to cede your turn to pick in the first-round pick in 2014. Denver also receive other shifts draft and cash.
addition to Anthony, New York would receive Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams , Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman .
The Nuggets have spent months evaluating possible to transfer operations to Anthony, since the last recess refused to sign a contract extension for three years and $ 65 million. Several times, Denver was about to send the forward to the New Jersey Nets, but the Knicks increased their offer enough to tell you. It is believed that the player, who was born in New York district of Brooklyn, New York has always preferred rather than New Jersey.
The Knicks probably expect Anthony to play on Wednesday when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.
coach Nuggets George Karl, said the deal brought him "some sadness", and also part of the popular Billups, a native of Denver. But, he added, is "time to move on, reinvent ourselves."

The Knicks will try now to make the playoffs without the heart of your computer. Felton, Gallinari, Mozgov and Chandler had four of its six top players and most of you think that New York gave away too much to get Anthony, a great scorer who joins a team that needed more scoring.
However, after Anthony was released, the Knicks - looking back to being a feared team in the NBA - felt they could not pass up the opportunity to make a superstar. By: ESPN
