Knicks land Carmelo Anthony
February 21, 2011, 11:42 PM ET

The New York Knicks have acquired Carmelo Anthony, league sources told ESPN The Magazine’s senior writer Chris Broussard on Monday night.

League sources also told Broussard that none of the teams can officially confirm the deal until Tuesday.

The swap is a three-way deal including Minnesota, a league source told Broussard.

As a part of the deal, the Knicks will send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash, league sources told Broussard. Along with Anthony, New York would acquire Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, the sources said.

New York will send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota as part of the deal in exchange for Corey Brewer, a league source told Broussard.

The Denver Post first reported the news.

Date: January 5, 2011
Venue: Jacinto Tiu Court, Xavier School campus
Game Result: Xavier School 164 – Grace Christian College 74

Before a crowd of nearly 700, prolific Jeron Teng set a new all-time single-game record of 104 points in powering three-time reigning titlist Xavier School to a 164-74 rout of Grace Christian College in their first-round Juniors Division encounter Wednesday night in 41st Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association high school tournament.

Teng, who also grabbed 24 rebounds (20 of them on the offensive end) and collected six steals and two blocked shots in 35 minutes, broke the old all-time Tiong Lian scoring mark of 64 points, which Xavier School’s Eric Yao (who knocked in 10 triples) set during the 1998 season.

A member of the Philippine Under-16 and Under-18 teams, the 6-1 son of former PBA strongman Alvin Teng shot 37-for-70 from the field (including 1-for-5 from beyond the three-point arc) and 29-for-34 from the free-throw line.

Jeron, a high school junior who is being wooed to suit up for the Under-22 Ph national squad, had quarter scores of 27, 16, 25 and 36 points.

Jeron made his record-breaking 65th and 66th points with four minutes left in the third quarter and Xavier ahead, 99-42, and knocked in his 99th and 100th markers on a pair of free throws with 1:08 left in the fourth period and the Golden Stallions comfortably ahead, 160-72.
