NBA Lockout: It’s Time to Stop Talking About Superstars Playing in China Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dallas-Fort Worth, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles, Miami, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
With the NBA lockout threatening to eviscerate the 2011-2012 season, there has been speculation that numerous high-profile players might take their basketball talents overseas. Some like Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Amar'e Stoudmire and Dwayne Wade have even been linked with the globe’s most populous nation—China. Of course, any prospective plans might stop after the Chinese Basketball Association’s recent announcement that they will forbid players with existing NBA contracts from joining their league and only allow those who commit for a whole season. However, there are reports that some teams could ignore the rule and continue with plans to throw ...

NY Knicks: Can Dwight Howard and Chris Paul Do What Carmelo Anthony Didn’t? Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, Orlando, US Cities | Comments Off
Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire complete two-thirds of the Knicks super team aspirations, and now New York has its sights on Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in 2012. But if the Anthony acquisition was any indication, the Knicks could be in trouble.Should Howard or Paul enter free agency, the Knicks have a legitimate shot at signing one of them, but such a scenario remains a long shot because of the "LeBron James rule." The New Orleans Hornets and Orlando Magic are not about to let their star players depart for basically nothing.Especially after seeing the Cavaliers get burned a year ago, ...

The Knicks' season may be over, but that hasn't stopped the team from continuing to dominate headlines as of late.Most recently, the Knicks have been making news with the recent departure of Donnie Walsh, the man who restored New York back to relevancy in the basketball world.However, while Walsh's sudden departure has been the main topic of conversation, the rumors surrounding the current direction of this Knicks team are still in full-swing.Before this past season, the general consensus was that the Knicks were going to try and put together their own version of a "big three." New York's first piece ...

2012 NBA Predictions: A New York Knick’s Big Three Would Trump Miami Heat 2011 NBA Playoffs, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Miami, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
No one can doubt the success that Miami's Big Three have had this year. The effect of three stars of their stature joining forces to reek havoc on the NBA will be felt for a long time.The Boston Celtics can boast that they beat everyone to the punch with this concept, but the group that they put together was not in their prime. Paul Pierce was the only one in the group that was somewhat still in his prime.Don't think for a moment that the wheels are not turning in the heads of other class A stars about ...

Dwight Howard, Chris Paul to New York Knicks: Super-Team Cost Them Donnie Walsh Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Miami, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, Orlando | Comments Off
The Miami Heat’s recent postseason success further motivated the Knicks to form a super-team of their own, but on Friday, the pursuit of this goal came at a price. And a high price at that. It was announced Friday that Donnie Walsh would be stepping down from his duties as the organization's President and GM, and would simply be assuming a consulting role with the Knicks from hereon out. The news came as a blow to Knicks fans. After over a month of believing that Walsh was going to return, thus securing the future success of this team, everything seemed ...

NBA Playoffs: Why Hornets over Lakers Is Key to NY Knicks Pursuit of Chris Paul 2011 NBA Playoffs, Chris Paul, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Playoffs, New Orleans, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks may be eliminated from the playoffs, but their work is far from complete. Amid all the speculation about the futures of President Donnie Walsh and coach Mike D'Antoni, there are still lingering questions about what player-pieces are missing from this complicated New York puzzle. All along the plan has been for the Knicks to put together a "big three" of their own, and they have not deviated from that blueprint despite what many people may believe. Regardless of what the Knicks do with Chauncey Billups, their eyes are fixated upon the Summer of 2012 and potentially adding ...

Tony Parker to the New York Knicks: It May Be More Realistic Than Chris Paul Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Chicago, Chris Paul, Denver, Landry Fields, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, San Antonio, Tony Parker | Comments Off
Plenty of New York Knicks fans are already banking on the addition of Chris Paul to their team. But San Antonio's Tony Parker is a more realistic target, and may even be a better fit too. Just this past offseason, there were scores of rumors suggesting that the Knicks and Parker were mutually interested in joining forces. As rumors often are, these were debunked. Parker obviously remained with the Spurs, and led them on an improbable run to the Western Conference's best record this year. He's leading the team in scoring at 17.1 points a game and assists at 6.6 a game. At ...

Why the New York Knicks Should Trade for Chris Paul, Not Carmelo Anthony Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Denver, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Orleans, New York, New York Knicks | Comments Off
If it were to happen right now, the Knicks would be trading Danilo Gallinari, Anthony Randolph, Toney Douglas and THE Eddy Curry (with his huge expiring contract) for Carmelo Anthony. As a Knicks fan this trade is hard to even look at. I understand that Carmelo is an elite player in the league, but the Knicks are giving away their three most promising players and the huge expiring contract of Curry. I look at this trade and think, "Why can't Carmelo just hold out so he can play with a better team next year?" I mean a team of Felton, Carmelo, ...
