In game 2, Carmello looked like a player that was worth trading what they did to get him. He was clearly the best player on the floor for either team. You do whatever you have to do to get a guy like this because there are less than a dozen of them out there.

Contend? Winning a game might be nice. Again, I am a Knicks fan and I hope I am wrong but they need actual NBA players to fill out roster spots 4-12.
