Carmelo Finally A Knick

East All Star Amare Stoudamire (L) of the New York Knicks and West All Star Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets look for a rebound during the NBA All-Star basketball game in Los Angeles, February 20, 2011.
Finally, our national nightmare is over; Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire are teammates at last! If you haven't seen the whole trade break down, here's who's where now:

Knicks get: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.

Nuggets get: Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.

Poor Michelle Trachtenberg. If I'm the Knicks I'm overall happy right now. Yeah, we just got rid of our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 12th best players AND won't have any room to bring any new pieces around our new players over the summer, but you got Carmelo. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters right? Right. Welp, hopefully Amare has more than a season or 2 left in those knees.

Aight, see ya in Miami Sunday, Melo.

(Side note: Jay-Z might wanna miss Mikhail Prokhorov's next few phone calls and lay low for awhile.)
