Welcome to New York Carmelo!

Carmelo has finally gotten his wish granted. He is the newest member of the new New York Knicks. The drama begin in early september when he declined to sign an extension with the Nuggets...since then his only wanted destination were the Knicks. Now he is teaming up with Stoudemire to make Big Apple a championship caliber team! The Knicks had to let important keys go, like Gallinari or Felton, but were able to hold on to Fields, who has often been referred as a glue player to keep championship teams together.
Along with Melo came Chauncey Billups, a former champion, AllStar and Olympian.
The question which Number he will wear, was also revealed today. It will be the number 7. Tonight will be there first matchup in the new line up against Memphis.
But dont expect them to be just done yet, Donnie Walsh expressed today, that they still need some more depth at Center. But you shouldnt expect any major moves.
Their new line up should feature : Billups,Fields,Anthony,Stoudemire and Turiaf.
