Carmelo Anthony Traded Knicks

First Posted: 02/21/11 10:34 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:35 PM ET

Carmelo Anthony is no longer a Denver Nugget.

The Denver Post reported Monday night that Anthony was traded to the New York Knicks in a blockbuster deal.

Denver will reportedly send Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman to New York.

The Nuggets get Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, Wilson Chandler, New York's 2014 first-round draft pick, Golden State's 2012 second-round pick and 2013 second-round pick along with $3 million in cash.

"I'm glad its over," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I'm glad it's an opportunity to reinvent. I think everybody handled it as classy as you could handle it. There's some sadness to it, there always will be."

According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, Minnesota is also involved in the deal. The Timberwolves will receive Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry from New York. The Knicks will get guard Corey Brewer.

Denver selected Anthony with the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. He has averaged 24.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game over his first seven seasons.

I was a big NBA fan until this year. It seems like there are now just a handful of super teams and the rest of the teams have zero change. I stopped watching.

They didn't change players, they changed whole teams.

The only good part of this trade for the Knicks , They finally got rid of Eddie Curry ... The rest of this move way to much given up for a guy they would have got next season anyway. This is the 1st season since the end of the Ewing , era that I watched any Knicks games and saw a bit of something of a chemistry and team Identity building. Way to go the test-tube has been spilled back to zero ! PS thank God they kept Fields at least .. he is the exact kind of player you need to glue together a solid team.

They still can't play defense. And the last time I checked that side of the ball wins championships.

Forget the NBA finals. This year's Eastern Confrence playoffs is about to be amazing.

Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal.

Everyone is hating on New York for giving up "so much", but let's be real, Chandler is going to be a free agent and may have (rightfully) asked for too much for the Knicks to be able to afford while also landing another superstar to help Amar'e out. Besides, both Gallo and Chandler have reached their potential and their career highs are a typical night for Melo. Him and Stoudemire are going to make some serious noise in the east. Most importantly, their going to attract another big name in a season or two, I'm thinking Chis Paul or D-Will.

Better hope that the new salary cap will be a soft one then.

At least he didn't do a poorly-thought-out "I'm taking my talents to the East River" ESPN disaster.
