A new Big Three in New York?

Spike Lee nearly passed out at the suggestion (and probably wet himself too).

Toasting newlyweds Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vazquez at their wedding over the weekend in New York, Chris Paul reportedly said during his speech that "We'll form our own Big Three."

Paul, Carmelo and Amar'e Stoudemire. Knicks fans would have their most relevant team since 1999. This group would probably do just as good a job of losing in the conference finals as did the Patrick Ewing era teams (because we know they won't be beating the Heat and that they won't play a lick of defense if Mike D'Antoni is still the coach).

Of course, what remains to be seen is how this could come together because of the impending labor war after the coming season. It's fun to dream about for Knicks fans but they may want to be careful in getting their hopes up too high; after all, they spent the last two years dreaming of the summer of 2010 which ended up landing them just Amar'e, Raymond Felton, Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Randolph and Ronny Turiaf while losing David Lee. Not exactly the LeBron bill of goods they were sold.
