who will max out amare

[ducks]

and amare without the hand off from steve is not nearly as good as he is now

Amare & Wade in the MIA...

[BRHornet45]

Lebron, Wade, and Amare in Milwaukee ... fear the motha in deer sons

[Shastafarian]

New Jersey

[Mel_13]

A team that will regret the decision long before the end of the contract.

Given how the last decade has gone for the Knicks, NY seems a likely destination.

[DJ Mbenga]

whoever that is, they will be fired before the season is over

[ducks]

the problem is he was the 3 team leader in rebounding


how pathetic is that

and amare was motivated after all star break trying to get the max contract

[thedong]

His will max out his credit card

[timvpimp]

Amare will stay with suns for another season, as he once promised. Genuinely he wants a max but it's not easy to get one this summer where there will be compe ions against Wade, James, Bosh, Joe Johnson etc..., all of whom are considered better players. Amare just waits for another year then he will easily get an ideal contract next summer as the best guy in FA market, and guaranteed he'll get overpaid like how Brand got his deal back in the summer of 08.

[JamStone]

I don't think D'Antoni would want to coach Amare again.

I can see Amare going to Miami and I think Miami want him. But I think there's a really good chance that Chicago goes after him if they strike out with LeBron/Wade/Bosh.

[Shastafarian]

I really think New Jersey is the most likely destination. He probably wants to be top dog wherever he goes. Who else wants that AND would go to New Jersey? He'll go because they'll offer him a max contract and that's the only other thing he cares about.

Wade, LeBron, Bosh, and even Joe Johnson will turn NJ down. That leaves Amar'e as their main target.

Amare 22 points, 70% shooting, 12 boards


Please, tell me more about how a back injury that caused Amare to miss 13 games means a contract that lasts 5 seasons, or 410 games was such a bad decision.

The Knicks would be so much better if they chose Hakeem Warrick, Josh Childress and Channing Frye instead of Amare like the Suns did. That decision worked out so well for them.

lol Spurfan
lol celebrating someone getting injured because it might validate their opinion

[Pelicans78]

Knicks should figure out to succeed with Melo, Amare, and TC on the floor. I would isolate Melo with Amare on the perimeter, or let TC and Amare set screens for Melo. They're fine defensively as long as TC is on the floor, but they need to figure it out offensively. They did well today with Amare and Melo playing the 5 and 4.

[Goran Dragic]

I agree that it happened to work today but Amare and Melo at the 5 and 4 isn't a recipe for long term success. Laundry Fields is a big problem. People think great in Stanford alumni who rebounds really well for a shooting guard but they don't see how detrimental a shooting guard who can't shoot for is to their offense with the spacing all messed up. They need a shooting guard who can curl off screens and score without dominating the ball in the half court. They also need a PG who knows his role and can set everything up while also knocking down open shots.

I also think at this point Mike Woodson has earned a 2 year deal similar to the one Gentry got after the 2008-2009 season when he took over for Porter.

[Axe Murderer]

i hate when people just predict that everything's gonna be a failure because they know said move won't be enough to win a le. Even if it improves the team they can just say "Ha! This team still didn't win a championship! What a terrible move! I was right all along!" Despite the fact that the Knicks are better now than before they got Amare

Lin fits the pg role for them quite well but yeah they need a SG, that may be their biggest problem on offense, aside from amare and melo both being ball dominant which will never change. perennial second round exit is that team's ceiling, instead of their current first round exit ceiling imho.

when do you cease geophysical studies and return to south oklahoma?

I disagree. Lin was productive when Melo and Amare were injured so he got to dominate the ball and pick and rolls. Lin and Melo had horrible chemistry.

[Goran Dragic]

rofl calling Amare ball dominant when he's co-existed with a ball dominant PG most of his career

*Cue: I was just saying that to piss you off knowing it was re ed!

melo has chemistry problems with a lot of players rofl. sorry that lin wants to make the smart play while melo's mind is on another stratosphere thinking of the n!gger play to make rofl rofl

nash was ball dominant in a totally different way that he was always looking to set someone up. melo is now always looking to set amare up? didn't think so. their styles of play clash and you know it!
