February 16, 2011 was Carmelo Anthony's last time suiting up as a Denver Nugget and as of late yesterday Melo will not be suiting up for the Nuggets tonight as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. After a long drawn out process and lots of acquisitions and assumptions Carmelo Anthony has been traded to the New York Knicks. Melo had made it clear over the past year that he wanted to be in New York and the deal was made late Monday coming just a little over 2 days left until the trade deadline. Throughout the trade process the New Jersey Nets had taking themselves in and out of the talk of acquiring Melo but the deal seemed to go downhill for them when Melo made it clear that he would not sign a contract extension with the Nets or the Nuggets. It will get pretty interesting to see how the east competition gets turned up now that Melo is a Knick. The New York Knicks are currently in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. Let's see if Melo helps them move up some spots in the standings. Below is a chart of who the Nuggets and the Knicks got:
| Knicks get: |
| G Chauncey Billups |
| F Renaldo Balkman |
| F Carmelo Anthony |
| C Shelden Williams |
| Nuggets get: |
| G Raymond Felton |
| F Danilo Gallinari |
| F Wilson Chandler |
| C Timofey Mozgov |
| $3 million in cash |
| 2014 first-round pick |
| 2012 second-round pick (originally Warriors' pick) |
| 2013 second-round pick (originally Warriors' pick) |
