So the drama is done -- finally. Melo has been traded to the Knicks, along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman. Phew. That's a mouthful. Billups is the most painful to say, though. The guy went to GW (George Washington High School in Denver, if you're confused). No, I didn't go there, but definitely drove past it plenty of times.
Last time I heard about it, it was still one of the better known high schools near downtown Denver. Good to know he's Colorado-born. When questioned about the trade a month ago, I remember him saying he didn't want to leave, and how it hurt to hear his name in the trade talks.

Melo's a heartbreaker, but at least he was honest. He got his trade, and New York officially has a superstar.
We get Raymond Felton, tard-face Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, Wilson Chandler, New York's 2014 first-round draft pick, Golden State's 2012 second-round pick and 2013 second-round pick along with $3 million cash. The best part? No Curry -- the Knicks can keep his fat ass and comparable contract in New York.
We'll rebuild, but it still burns me. Not a single championship trophy in all of Nuggets history, and he pussies out. I hope he enjoys the big lights.
I'm officially the Anti-Spike Lee of filmmakers and (hopefully) rich basketball fans. Floor seats and everything -- one day.
