He played fine. But they lost. I think they gave up too much and they aren't any better with him than they were before they got him. Saying he played like LeBron is a compliment actually. They would have made the playoffs without making the trade and they'd be no worse for the wear than being down 2-0 in the first round. I think they gave up too much, but in the end it doesn't matter when Chris Paul joins up. You know that is what they're waiting for. I think they'd have been as good if Chris Paul joined the pre-trade roster or the Carmelo roster. The world today is more about propaganda then results especially in this country...the Carmelo trade was good propaganda for the Knicks even though it changed results none. Look at our elections today...pure propaganda events. The results always the same regardless of the propaganda or who is actually elected. Our elections are just as rigged as any country's elections we make fun of...it's simply broadway theater to make us think there is any difference between what we are electing whatsoever. There is none.


The Carmelo trade was simply theater for the masses. It had nothing to do with anything whatsoever results wise. For the Nuggets it was simply about not getting LeBroned next free agency by Melo and to get as much as possible...(see Deron Williams trade). They can't win a title with or without Melo for the short term future until they get Chris Paul.
