Big problems in NY

Gambo & (Ashe's replacement) are also claiming the back is directedly attributed to his knee problems.

If it's career ending, the Knicks can use the Disabled Player exception. That instantly gives them basically the full MLE to sign a new player.

DPE couldn't be used this season.

& that contract is not insured.

Right, but the Knicks cap won't necessarily suffer because "they owe him $65 million after this season".

True. If the injury is career-ending, it will just affect Dolan's bottom line. The Knicks, however, will not be prevented from making stupid basketball decisions in the future

knicks are ed regardless

Sarver knew about his knee and eye issues...made a decision not to pay 100 mil for a guy with that much health issues and it's turned out to be a good decision. And, imho, it will turn out this was a brilliant ing decision two years from now.

Sarver didn't pay him because of his knee and eye issue. So far, his knee and eye have been fine. Amare developing a back problem Sarver knew nothing about at the time doesn't make Sarver's decision brilliant.

I don't know what Phoenix should have done with the $20 mil

Thanks for playing.

of course they are

If Amare was diagnosed with HIV tomorrow, Gambo find a way to connect it to Amare's knee.

I've heard of back injuries causing someone to start favoring one side and developing knee problems (Ralph Sampson), I've never heard of knee problems causing back problems.

No, dude, they're right. You start compensating in your legs and it affects your back. It's all connected in there.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what Sarver knew or didn't know. All that matters is - Does his decision on letting Amare go look right in March, 2012? It does. It looks good, it will look even better in 2013/2014. And that's all there is in business...the end result, not how you got there.

Now go warm up for the Mavs.

It's not like his knee was in constant pain, there's no reason to think he ever compensated in his legs. His knee hasn't been an issue since the 2005-2006 season.

I don't play for the Suns, so I'm not sure what "go warm up for the Mavs" means. I'll just assume it's a re ed GNSF comment after he thinks he won an argument.

And now you're switching lanes. I never denied that the decision might end up good. My only argument was that it wasn't some brilliant well thought out decision AT THE TIME from Sarver to let Amare leave.

And I'd still rather have Amare on the Suns right now than I would Childress, Warrick and Frye. They could amnesty 1 bad contract if it's a career ender, they can't amnesty all 3 of those.

Rox play the Mavs tonight. You start for Houston.

Well, since your post is obviously sarcastic and I misread his post, I should probably let him know that I'm NOT goran dragic.

Let's make the things clear here.
With the Amare's season ending back issue, did Sarver make the right decision on letting Amare go?
Yes, he did.
Did Sarver make the right deals after Amare signing with the Knicks?
No, he didn't.
Did Amare's back spasm matter with Sarver's decision?
No, it didn't.
Does your knee's problem affect your back?
Our lower/upper body are interactive, specifically when we move, stand or exercise. But I think Amare's Knees ain't matter with his back issue.

Gambo was right.
