Carmelo Anthony hasn't forgot about that toast Chris Paul made at his wedding. And with Chauncey Billups' contract up at the end of 2012, the Knicks are going to need a point guard. Guess who Melo wants?

"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 told the New York Post. "It's not just me. It's everybody [in New York]. If he decides to leave New Orleans and goes somewhere else, they'll be feeling the same way I'm feeling."

You know who else would be feeling that way? Like 26 other teams. Chris Paul, along with Dwight Howard, are the two prizes of 2012. Wherever CP3 goes, he'll take a team and turn it into a contender. Would the Knicks be a fit? Yes, totally. Melo, Amar'e Stoudemire and CP3? That's almost every bit as impressive as what Miami's got, excepet that big three would have a little more natural construction.
