I dont think the trade will benefit them as much as they think it will, because Melo is no leader for that team. It will be good to see them have Billups, maybe it can be a playoff run team if they effort themselves. But the depth of the team suffered with the departure of Gallo and Chandler, and they still lack a BIG BIG MAN. I believe the team that is gonna win the finals is gonna be the team with the better centers Thats why the Celtics lost last year, it was because they lost their center on game so on game 7 they were defenseless against Gasol and Byrnum. I think the idea of having Melo on NY is more commercial. Brings people to the games, people buy propaganda, the media gets crazy, money to NY. Anything else.
