Carmelo Anthony wants to form in the Big Apple his own version of the big three. His version of big three world include Amare Stoudamire and Chris Paul

The New York version of the big three may have an easier transition than their counterparts had in Miami. Obviously Wade, Bosh and Lebron had a very successful season but in the first half of the season team chemistry was not apparent.

The addition of Paul to the Kincks would be a a masterful maneuver for the team. Paul represents what is good about team basketball in the NBA. He is a superior passer and playmaker, an effective penetrator and has excellent one on one skills. Las Vegas odds

Paul is also a great defender and this is where the Knicks could use some leadership. Melo and Stoudamire have never been considered defensive stoppers. Paul could be influential in preventive players from penetrating the lane so easily. Vegas odds

“Offense sells tickets and defense wins games” is a common cliche in basketball that coaches live by. Paul can provide that presence. Mel points out that,

“If it works out and he comes here and they allow him to come here, you’ll see a smile from ear to ear,” Anthony said. “It’s not just me. It’s everybody in New York.”
