    Default Should The Knicks Regret the Carmelo Trade?

    I think absolutely not, but I want to know what you guys think now. As time moves on and I get less and less emotionally attached to the likes of Gallo and Felton, I think it was a pretty great trade for the Knicks. What do you all think?

    I don't think you can ever regret the trade that gets you back into the playoffs after a long drought.

    Knicks lost the deal but they shouldn't regret it.

    well, they were probably in the playoffs anyway, but I think the Carmelo + Amar'e Knicks have contender potential if they can make some tweaks whereas the Amar'e + others Knicks had a somewhat lower ceiling.

    I think great players win championships and we needed ourselves a great player.

    They were already playoff bound with the pre-Melo group.

    But in the long run, it's a good trade. They now need to put good supporting cast around Melo and Amare.

    On one level, yes, because the Nets got Deron Williams for less than what the Knicks gave up for Melo. It might have been where the Knicks could have kept Gallinari and gotten Williams.

    On the other hand, the Knicks are finally a respectable team again after having several very bad seasons.

    Next summer they will have cap space to build around two superstars, which is not a bad position to be in.

    the Nets package was much better than the Knicks, and there's no way the Knicks could have gotten either DWill or Melo without giving up Gallo because he's the only young guy from the Knicks with serious potential. I don't think the Jazz would have even called up the Knicks; that package wasn't that great.

    i never said that carmelo was a scrub, but he's a boarderline top 12 player and not a superstar that can win a championship by himself.

    Of course not. It's Carmelo Anthony. The second best small forward, a top 10 player and the best scorer in the league.

    There is no current superstar that can win anything by himself. In the last 30 years, only Hakeem and Duncan have done it "by themselves"

    Kind of a useless standard to compare it to.

    Okay, I regret taking the bait on this one. We're not having the umpteenth Durant versus Carmelo discussion in this thread.

    You don't need Joyner to point out the mistakes in the post. He's not the best scorer, he's the most versatile, he's the third best small forward not the second best.

    Lastly though, he is a top 10 player, fighting for that 10th spot with Deron, but he arguably wins that fight.
