What do you expect when you have Mike D'Antoni running the show for most of your career. He did develop a nice jumper that has disappeared.

And I absolutely blame D'Antoni for wearing him out as well as failing to develop him. He was also young and talented and stupid, so that didn't help. Amare, after all, is the guy who turns his jerseys around so his name is on the front and the team's name is on the back.

That has a lot to do with the culture of the team, if you don't have strong leadership than the inmates run the asylum. If he had been with an organization like the Spurs they'd have maxed his potential, watched his minutes, taught him fundamentals. His personality probably wouldn't have fit but he'd be a better player for it.
