Carmelo is Finally Traded to the Knicks but NY Still Needs Help

After months of rumors, meetings, deals, broken deals, and more and more speculation, Denver trades Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks and leaves New York's cupboard bare. Sure, Anthony gives the Knicks a dynamic scorer able to score from virtually anywhere on the floor and as clutch as any player in the league who's going to support team defensively? Considering what they got along with Melo, the Knicks will be hard pressed to stop gritty, hard-nosed teams like the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. Not to mention the super talented and emerging defensive stalwart Miami Heat. They're going to have to build around Amare and Carmelo and hopefully for overly hyped Knick fans they find a defensive identity in a couple of years to truly become a relevant force in the East.
