That sucks. I hope it doesnt affect his career long term.
Yup. Pat Burke, Brian Grant, Kurt Thomas could play C if needed. That is all they have.
OUCH.
That sucks. I hope it doesnt affect his career long term.
the knee was more reason for Amare to sign. Otherwise, he holds off and maybe signs with the Lakers.
I don't think Amare would want to sign with the lakers. He just used that to up his price.
The Fakers rumor had nothing to do with uping the price. As with any player and the CBA their current team can offer them the most while under contract with an extension or as a RFA.
Don't forget he's still under the rookie salary this year, the extension doesn't kick in until next season. That's why i think they should just sit him out the whole season and not take the risk of bringing him back.
that sucks for suns but good news for sopurs
WHY IS IT GOOD NEWS FOR THE SPURS?
suns could get a lottery pick out of this
then the spurs could be in big trouble the followering year!
Sucks for Phoenix fans...
after Amare's push-ups from the January 21st, 2005 game, I have no sympathy for him.
The Suns won't be that bad, they will still win.
Of all the listed players who had this surgery, Kidd recovered the most completely. Then again, his game is played closer to the floor than just about anyone in the league.
Good luck, kid, and when you can work out, work on those post moves and rebounding block outs. You may not be able to jump out of the gym anymore. Hit the fundamentals in a major way.
no more then 45 games
will that be enough to make the playoffs?
The suns will win 50. Nash and Marion along with the starting group will still score alot. Diaw is definitely is good pickup as it looks like they will need him to play a similar role to Amare as a slasher.
Horrible news. Amare and LeBron were poised to rule the league in the next five years.
There is a video up at the Suns official web site. Colangelo, D'Antoni, Nash and Marion are all interviewed regarding Amare.
As much as i disliked Amare, you hate to see that happen to anyone. I read the article this morning, and you just feel bad... imagine how much worse he would of been though if he hadnt already got his max contract... Pheonix probably would of still signed him anyway, but scary thought for him.
Good luck, Amare (only so timmy can beat you down for years to come)
Nice sig!
they won't make the playoffs so goes the rivalry
is Amare's age a factor? he's still pretty young... he might recover better
First off i just want to say thank you to the Spurs fans for being nice about this whole thing. I sorta thought you would all be like "i told you so" but you guys weren't so thanks..This like sucks beyond words, I feel so bad for Amare i could care less about us possibly having a losing season i'm just worried about Amare and the career he could have had and should of had.
I do think Amare will be back after the all-star break and be at about 80% . Amare's will to win is have the battle in his recrovery.. On the brightside i look forward to seeing players such as James Jones and Boris steping up and developing. i saw the suns scrimagie thing is Tucson and james looks really good. Raja Bell is also very under-rated and has an amazing talent he just may be better than JJ. Kurt Thomas is the opposite of slow he looked great at the game. Steve and Marion looked like they did last year and Eddie house scored i think about 5 3's..ever Pat Burke looked okay.
I wish the best of luck to Amare and his recovering ..i hope he comes back soon.the Suns will still be a good team althought i do think we dropped down to about 5 or 6 in West.Were getting into the playoffs with Amare or without now..without Nash and umm can i hear the word lottery.. which wouldn't be so bad i guess..but i won't wish for the worst..
**The Spurs road to the Championship just got even more easy** now i almost expect them to win it and if they don't....
I still have hope for the Suns being the O5' 06" Champs..Go Suns!!!
They'd be wise to sit him the whole season. The extension hasn't kicked in and he's still young enough to fully recover from this. No reason to rush him back to service once healthy.
Chalk it up as a cieste la ve
Unless the Suns are in the thick of it, I'd probably shut him down for the year, too. He's young, but rushing him back could cause a setback.
i wouldn't mind his missing the season but when Amare says 4 months he does 4 months. I guess we will see how he feels..I also didn't think of the fact that he contract dosen't kick in till nexy year..at least the suns are only losing about 3 million compared to the some 10 they might have lost if this happened next year.. i guess i wouldn't mind if he sat out the season but i still hope he comes back.
Man this really sucks. Matrix HAS to have a mvp-calibre season.
It'd be a dumass move to hurry him. He is THE future of that franchise.
the suns at most will get 7th seed this season, i think...
I agree. I think they will get the 7th seed.
