The Carmelo Anthony trade saga is finally over.
The Nuggets traded Melo to the New York Knicks tonight, a league source said. Denver gets 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.
Anthony will go to New York, along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.
Anthony was not at the Nuggets' practice as the team resumed workouts following the All-Star break. Billups left the team's Monday practice without speaking to reporters.
A source said the Knicks will send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota as part
Denver Nuggets
of the deal.
Nuggets guard J.R. Smith said Monday after practice, after learning of the trade:
"I mean, it's just rebuilding first. We gotta go forward with what we got. And try to do the best we can in the playoffs."
When asked if there's time this season to salvage a Nuggets playoff run, Smith said:
"I think there is. Our backs have been up against the wall many times before."
