Oh the trade rumors, they are-a-swirlin’ about the Knicks’ beleaguered star Carmelo Anthony. One day, a trade is imminent and Melo’s slipping on his Timberland cowboy boots and getting ready to wrassle with the Warriors; the next, the Knicks want to have a little sit-down and try to work things out (or get Melo to increase his list of trade destinations beyond the Rockets and Cavaliers).
Until now, I’ve resisted the urge to make a “Here’s some Carmelo trades!” piece. It’s just so passé, or so I told myself. And yet here I am, standing at the precipice of Melo trade insanity, ready to sell out and go big.
