Whither Melo?

With the Nets four way trade apparently still at a standstill, and Donnie Walsh apparently trying everything in his power to acquire the inefficient superstar, the question is should the Knicks be trying? Though I have always seen Carmello as a Knick, it would be ridiculous to trade for him at the current prices and with Denver feigning disinterest in the Knicks' best young talent. I like Carmello, but he is a volume scorer who doesn't rebound or play defense up to the levels he has shown in college and international play. He doesn't seem like a carry your team to a title type at this stage of his career. Anyway, what do you guys think?
