I think we gave up a bit too much. We really need a legitimate center. And not a Dwight Howard type of guy. Just a good versatile big body that might draw some defense. But I do think this just had to happen. Sometimes you build youth just to trade them away. Luckily we kept Fields. I would have liked the Felton/Billups part of the trade not happen. Felton was playing very well and looked like he could play better and I feel Billups is past his prime. We'll possibly get out of the first round this year. Next year, with some small additions, we will really be able to push teams around.
I just hope this doesn't end up like the last time we brought a Brooklynite home to The Knicks.
On a side note: I am actually pretty impressed with the Russian owner of the Nets who drove the price up just so the Knicks would have to give away alot of their long term future. Remember this is the same guy who posted a billboard across from MSG for the Nets when the LBJ circus was in town. He knew Melo would never sign with the Nets but just enjoyed making Dolan have to dish more out.
