Felton steps up without Amar'e

February 14

New York Post

 

"This coming Friday starts All-Star weekend. For Raymond Felton, this past Friday started what became a big weekend.
Without Amar'e Stoudemire and his sprained right big toe, Felton was the Knicks' story of the weekend. After losing to the Lakers on Friday, Felton declared the Knicks were upset by the Carmelo Anthony rumors, saying "it's starting to really get on my nerves."
On Saturday, when coach Mike D'Antoni informed the point guard that Stoudemire was out against the Nets, Felton -- a Knicks co-captain -- gathered his teammates before the game and informed them it was time to pick it up.
"I did it on my own. Being a leader, being a captain, that's what I had to do," Felton said. "Just told everybody we've got to be mentally prepared, mentally ready to get this win tonight. Everybody's got to step up."
Felton, who was snubbed for the All-Star Game, had a decent enough performance in the Knicks' 105-95 win over the Nets, delivering 13 points, 11 assists and five rebounds. While the starting point guard only shot 4-for-13, turned the ball over six times and wasn't even the best point guard on the court, thanks to Devin Harris' 22-point effort, Felton was still solid.
As was his leadership.
"Raymond hinted at it a lot [Saturday night]," Landry Fields said. "He said Amar'e's out, so we have to step up. Do it defensively and do it together."
Said Felton: "We had to come out and be ready to play. I'm very proud of everybody.""

Knicks still alive in Carmelo Anthony trade talks, chances are '50-50' of landing All-Star: source

DENVER - The Knicks remain very much in the hunt for Carmelo Anthony mostly because New York remains the Denver Nuggets All-Star forward's preferred destination.

A person familiar with the negotiations told the Daily News that talks between the Nuggets and Knicks are ongoing and classified the possibility of a deal with New York at "50-50."
"He'd like to play in New York," said the source, who requested anonymity. "But I don't see anything happening soon."
In order for the Knicks to acquire Anthony, team president Donnie Walsh would have to acquire at least one first-round pick to include in the deal.
The Nets can offer Denver the best package because they have multiple first-round picks.
The dilemma for the Knicks is whether or not to gut their roster for a player they could sign as a free agent after July 1. A deal for Anthony would likely have to include two of these three starters -- Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Landry Fields -- plus Eddy Curry's expiring contract and at least one first-round pick. The Knicks may also have to take on a player with a long-term contract. Al Harrington could be that player.
The Nets are in serious negotiations to complete a deal for Anthony, but the source indicated that no trade is imminent.

As for whether Anthony would sign a three-year, $65 million extension to play for the Nets, the source said "it hasn't gotten to that point yet.
"He's willing to listen to them if he gets close."
Amar'e Stoudemire recently said that he doesn't think the Knicks "need much" to become a contender. In fact, he said on Monday that the team has the pieces to possibly reach the conference finals.
At least one of Stoudemire's former teammates in Phoenix believes that Stoudemire wouldn't be thrilled about adding Anthony while Stoudemire contends that he'd be in favor of adding a superstar.
Anthony was quoted on Monday saying that the Knicks may not want him because they don't want to disrupt their chemistry.
The Knicks are 21-15 heading into Tuesday night's game against the Blazers and are in position to post their first winning season in 10 years.
"Everybody is happy with the team we have and what we're doing," Gallinari said. "We have to control what we can control. We can't worry about what happens on the outside."
PLEASING THE BOSSMike D'Antoni says that from all indications Garden chairman James Dolan is happy with the progress of the Knicks this season. Dolan, who hasn't granted the Knicks' media corps with an interview in nearly four years, attended Sunday's game in Los Angeles.
When asked if he spoke to the boss, D'Antoni joked: "I'm busy during the games."
