Carmelo Anthony has always been atop my list of favorite athletes.
Dude's a pure stud. Perennial all-star, top 5 for scoring, and a dominant defensive force.
From the greater Baltimore are, won a national title for 'Cuse, and quietly put the Denver Nuggets into premier team discussion. He was given some good assistants in the mile high city in Chauce, Kenyon, Bird Man, A.I., and Nene-however, recent NBA events prove that you need more than just one superstar.
Examples as of late: Lakers, Celts, Spurs, soon-to-be Heat.
So what do you do? You have a public media outburst demanding a trade, you deny signing a HUGE extension with your team, you celebrate your wedding in NYC, and you talk Knicks in '11 with CP3 and Amare.
That time cannot wait. He wants out now. Sure, he wants on the Knicks, but they can't get him due to their zero factor for trade bait. So, head east through the likes of Newark. Introducing, your 2010 NJ Nets, who won 12 games last season:
PG: Jordan Farmar, SG: Anthony Morrow, SF: Carmelo Anthony, PF: Troy Murphy, C: Brooke Lopez.
Key Reserves: Travis Outlaw, Terrence Williams, Joe Smith
Carmelo Anthony to the Nets, yet they still win less than 20 games. Good luck trying to recruit top FA's next season.
