Carmelo Anthony's Next Destination

There has been a lot of buzz about where New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony will end up if he is traded. Some of the teams of interest were the Cavaliers, the Clippers, and the Celtics. As this trade rumor, or the possibility of the trade, has come to light it seems more and more possible that Carmelo might be on the move before the trade deadline on February 23. However Knicks have been in talks with all three of these teams and this is one of the major story lines as he may be joining forces with either Lebron James, and Kyrie Irving with the Cavs, Isaiah Thomas with the Celtics or with Deandre Jordan, Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin with the Clippers. Let's take a look at where he could end up.

Cavaliers: The Cavaliers have been in major trade talks with the Knicks for a while. However, the Knicks are asking for Kevin Love in return who is one player the Cavs do not want to part ways with. The Cavs are actually in talks with other free agent playmakers to help back up Kyrie Irving as well. The Cavs have actually tried to trade for TJ McConnell from the Sixers in return for Jordan McCrae, the Sixers have turned this down. If the Cavs are able to keep Kevin Love and acquire Carmelo Anthony than they could potentially rival the Warriors with their four all-stars as well.

Clippers: This deal is actually a pretty big deal and could happen. The Knicks have said so themselves that they will give Carmelo for near trash players. If this trade goes through than Carmelo could be the piece to help get the Clippers that championship ring they so desperately need. Not to mention that Carmelo will be with another three all-stars who are like I said, All Stars. Deandre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul, and then add Carmelo to the mix and that could be a good team.

Celtics: If the Celtics are able to get Carmelo then they will be set for a couple years. The Celtics who have Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford is very intriguing because of where Carmelo would fit. Carmelo would fit pretty well with the Celtics because the Celtics could use another big man and Carmelo could be that guy. right now the Celtics have Amir Johnson, Al Horford at the front court, and Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley at the backcourt with Jae Crowder as the small forward. adding Carmelo to an already decent team could make them a better team.

As I said these situations are very likely, the Cavs, Clippers, and the Celtics all could potentially acquire Carmelo. I'm sure there are other teams but these are the three teams that I've heard a lot of noise about. The Knicks also said that they want to rebuild their team around Kristaps Porzingis which is something that Carmelo does not want to be a part of. He is looking for a ring as he is the only big names from his draft class without one. Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh who were in Carmelo's draft class all have rings and Carmelo just wants to win one. There's no doubt that he is a Hall of Fame member, but he wants to say that he was able to hold up the Finals trophy.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
