    GTFO now, Amare.
    Rest them, let them heal, re-hab.
    We'll forward to you next November.

    I don't see how playing the last three games could possibly have ruinedhim forever.

    But the smart thing now clearly is to not even THINK about bringing him back this year.

    Dude should've never bothered to try this failed experiment

    Ah, the ignorance of youth!

    Good luck next season.

    wow...you guys seem to have written him off...I wouldn't be so quick to do so. I am confident that they have done extensive MRI's etc. and are comfortable that they have repaired the problem to the left knee and that there was no significant danger of re-injury. As someone who has had multiple knee surgeries from sports injuries the "echo" to the other knee is very common...the body mechanics of walking/running/jumping are a fine balance and one thing can affect another...and it just takes time to work it out. Some people take longer than others, and surprisingly the "super-tuned" athletes like Amare may actually have more difficulty getting their natural balanced "gait" back than others...

    I expect Amare to come back next year at 100% with a major "at ude" to kick ass and take names...

    I agree. It's obvious he isn't healed yet, but I don't think he's done irreversible harm to himself in these last three games.

    I'm a fan of Amare's game and for his sake I hope he sits until next season.

    At least Nash's knees are good enough to dance like a freak...

    I think that is what Sun Fans are telling themselves.

    Amare relies on athleticism as much as anyone else in the association. He's gonna have to be patient.

    I hope everything turns out well for him because he is fun to watch.

    Let's not forget the JOE JOHNSON incident.

    The Suns organization were trying to make him play through his injury as well.

    Yeah, I'd have to question the Suns organization about now. Every player wants to play and for every doctor that can clear a player, there's another doctor that probably wouldn't.

    If you think the team physicians & doctors are not "pressed" by team mgt to "clear a player" for play, then you're re ed.

    Amare should not be playing and if Amare's career is hindered because of this early attempt at coming back early, then so be it. It's their own fault.

    Joe Johnson was right for leaving Phoenix.

    It's real easy to second guess after the fact.
    Actually, with the history of MF surgery, a lot of us (your's truly included) first guessed it before the fact. I know that Colangelo is running USABasketball, but if they even let him play this summer, they're doubly stupid. Shut him down from compe ive basketball until training camp, and let him continue his rehab and work on whatever parts of his game he wants to at walk thru speed. He could work on his shot, and basic post pivot footwork without stressing the knee.

    Micro fracture surgery did not sound anything like getting a knee scoped. I heard and read plenty of media people talking about how dangerous this procedure is to Amare's career.

    Like THAT even matters. Porty is one of two teams already officially eliminated from the playoffs. Amare did you guys a favor by increasing your odds/ ping pong balls.
