Dope Sheit: Carmelo To The Knicks: Empire State of Mind



Empire State of Mind

Since the summer, Carmelo Anthony’s name has been rumored with countless trade talks. Two weeks ago it was the Lakers who were making a strong push for Melo. Just last week it was New Jersey who would land the best pure scorer in the NBA. Now Melo will get his wish. The Nuggets have agreed to trade Carmelo to the basketball and media capital of the world, New York City and the Knicks. The Nuggets-Knicks-Timber Wolves completed a monster 3-team deal late Monday night that looks like this:

New Yorks gets:
