New York. The Knicks made the right decision. Like it or not, New York, here comes Carmelo Anthony. After weeks of exhausting wrangling, the Knicks got their man, though it is more proper at this moment to say Anthony got his team. The trade ended a bizarre NBA love triangle. The New Jersey Nets wanted Anthony, Anthony wanted the Knicks and at least some of the Knicks’ hierarchy wanted no part of Anthony if it meant giving up what they eventually gave up: Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov.
But this deal is an exchange that had to be. The Knicks made the bold determination to acquire Anthony, a second bona fide star, to play alongside Amar’e Stoudemire and worry about the supporting players later.
Supporting players are supporting players, and there are plenty of them. If the Knicks have to rebuild the supporting cast, then so be it. They now have a potentially dynamic one-two punch to go forward.
