Obviously, there were two big stories in the NBA today that could definately affect the future thinking of the New York Knicks.

This really isn't news at all obviously, since we've known for a few days that this was happening. But the news that caught my eye:

So this idea was originally tossed around in another thread; but could AK be a good one-year rental for New York if they're after Melo next season? Even if they sign LeBron, they'd still try and go after him. So an expiring Kirilenko could be incentive for the Nuggets to trade him mid-season, or even use the Space created by AK to sign Melo for the Knicks.
How would David Lee (signed for $8 Million per year)+Eddy Curry+1st Round pick+cash for Kirilenko sound? Too one-sided, or a great deal for both teams? Also, feel free to throw out your AK to the Knicks trade ideas, since this seems like a pretty good idea.

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks reached an agreement in principle Monday with free agent Amare Stoudemire after receiving assurances it would not be an impediment to their pursuit of LeBron James.
The All-Star forward will receive a five-year, $99.7 million contract that will reunite him with coach Mike D'Antoni.

Carmelo Anthony will be a member of the Denver Nuggets next season -- whether he accepts the team's offer of a contract extension or not.
With speculation that Denver may trade their All-Star forward growing over the past week, a high-ranking Nuggets official said the club has no intentions of moving its best player.
"There is no way we are trading Carmelo Anthony," the official said. "We're 100 percent certain of that."
