Are NY Knicks now championship contenders?

A big trade this past week has sent the NY Knicks from the average team fighting to make the play-offs, to a possible championship contender. But, with roughly 20 games left in the regular season, will they have time to find the chemistry it takes to win it all.
The Knicks had already acquired power forward Amare Stoudemire the previous season. Stoudemire is a 1st Team All-NBA All-Star who has been leading the Knicks across the board this entire season.
The Knicks acquired two more big names the past week, Chauncey Billups and Carmello Anthony.
Billups is a guard who has been around the leage for awhile. He has already won a championship and knows what it takes to get there.
Perhaps the most success came when the Knicks got Carmello Anthony. Anthony has been one of the most well known players in the NBA since his rookie year and was the face for the Denver Nuggets. He is a high caliber player who can make a huge difference on any team.
So with NY having the new "Big 3" it would suggest they are one of the best teams in the league right now, but many critics say otherwise. They have said there is not enough time in the season for the team to get it together and that if a championship would ever come it wouldn't be for another couple years.
NY made a big statement last night though when they took down the Miami Heat who are one of the top teams in the league right now and a favorite to win the championship.

    This is going to be interesting to see if Carmello Anthony can keep his mouth under control with the new team. He obviously has a history of getting himself into some trouble, so I can't wait to see if he can keep himself calm here.

    I promised you I would comment, but I simply have no "dog in this race." And the Knicks' colors are too close to blue and gold for me! (ETSU colors?)
