According to ESPN's NBA insider Chris Broussard, the New York Knicks may have a deal in place to land Carmelo Anthony. It's in the early stages, but it will be a three team trade that will involve Denver, New York, and Minnesota. The Knicks would send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry, with his expiring contract, to Minnesota while sending Wilson Chandler to Denver. Minnesota will send Corey Brewer along with a first round draft pick to Denver as well. And lastly, New York will receive Carmelo Anthony from Denver who will sign his three year, $65M extension that he turned down while in Denver. This would be bittersweet for the Nuggets. Yes, they will finally deal their disgruntled star but they won't get as much back as if the proposed deal with the Nets wasn't axed by Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov. I wouldn't say Carmelo to the Knicks this season will make them a title contender but this will shake up the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
