NBA in NY/NJ...

...has gotten a wee bit better in the past few days.  Still not enough to keep my attention, but hey, at least they're making headlines for something positive.

The Knicks got former one-year-wonder at Syracuse and Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony as part of a 13-player deal.  Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony on the same team is a pretty lethal combination - but the same can be said for the Heat.  The Knicks lost almost 51% of their scoring in the trade - for one player.  Not such a great deal.

Today, the Nets - yes, the Nets - traded for point guard extraordinaire Deron Williams for two players and two draft picks.  That's a pretty good deal - 21 points per game and 9.7 assists per game?  This guy has been a premier point guard since he came into the league.  Now they just need some players to finish.

At least the NY/NJ basketball teams are making an attempt to get better.

Go NY Go NY Go!
