"Paul toasted at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding about the idea of playing with Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.

This was before Anthony was even in New York. Anthony, who was then in the position that Paul and Howard find themselves in today, could have waited until the end of the year without making the Knicks trade anything, but he forced a trade because it meant more dollars. And you’ve seen what happened after that: Because Anthony wanted a maximum contract, and because New York had to trade a million pieces in order for him to get that max contract, New York didn’t have the money to get Paul after this season [I]or [/I]the assets to trade for him right now.

Instead of three guys sacrificing together, as they did with the Heat, Paul would have been the only one sacrificing to go to New York. So, as the Knicks settled for Tyson Chandler last week instead, that wedding toast was revealed to be til-Melo’s-need-to-get-paid-do-us part. And then there’s this: You have to wonder how Stoudemire feels about the suggestion this week that, because of what Anthony did, Stoudemire was almost traded for Paul because Stoudemire was the only piece the Knicks had left [I]to [/I]trade for him."
