Billups was the only notable Knicks player who was not at the team's voluntary workout Thursday.
Even Grant Hill had three fouls in 3 minutes in the first half, and Chauncey Billups got a flagrant-1.
Billups credited the Grizzlies for never letting them get into a rhythm or their Lob City run and gun approach.
Melo played with one of the best scoring-dishing point guards of his generation, Chauncey Billups, and so we already know that combination can work.

New Orleans Hornets star guard Chris Paul has been linked to the Los Angeles Clippers, which could create a unique big three with forward Blake Griffin and fellow point guard Chauncey Billups.
Chauncey Billups scored 14 points, and Caron Butler and Jamal Crawford had 13 apiece on a night when Blake Griffin was held to 10 points and five rebounds before fouling out with 3:32 left.
They would match the elite front court of Chandler, Stoudemire and Anthony with a C-list guard duo of Landry Fields and, for now, Toney Douglas, since Chauncey Billups would have to be jettisoned for salary-cap purposes.
In the deal, the team acquired former Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups, a friend of Anthony's who many times clashed with the offense, and there became a stylistic tug of war between Anthony's loyalists and D'Antoni's that never fully healed.
