New York Knicks: An honest and logical perspective on Carmelo Anthony’s past and future

The 2010-11 season

The New York Knicks finished the regular season 42-40 and actually made a playoff appearance. Although it did not last long, it’s impressive they even broke 40 wins with the roster surrounding Carmelo Anthony.

At point guard, the Knicks had a way-past-his-prime Chauncy Billups for just 21 games, at the age of 34. They also had Raymond Felton, who had nearly averaged a double-double on points in assists that year, but was only present for a little over half the season.

At shooting guard, the Knicks had Landry Fields, who played well, but was just a rookie and ultimately had a very short NBA career. The Knicks also had Toney Douglas off the bench, who was undersized at his position and was only in his second season.

As for forwards and big men, the Knicks did have Amar’e Stoudemire for the last All-Star season of his career. However, that was the secondary reason this team even came close to breaking a .500 record.

The rest is barely notable players that you could say would be considered a true winning cast Most of these players did not play a full season with the Knicks that year, nor did they return the next season.
