DENVER -- Raymond Felton has gone from having been a strong All-Star candidate to not even being a starter.
At least that's the word from Denver coach George Karl.
With the blockbuster trade getting done Tuesday in which forward Carmelo Anthony and point guard Chauncey Billups are going to New York, the Nuggets have ended up with Felton, a point guard averaging 17.1 points and 9.0 assists. But that's not good enough for Felton to immediately start in Denver, where Karl said Ty Lawson, who had been the backup to Billups, will now move into that role.
"As for now, and probably for the next week or two, I'd say Ty will be the starter, and I think you'll see them play a lot together,'' Karl said.
But won't Felton, who was having a breakout season in his first year with the Knicks, be given an opportunity soon to become the starter?
