I want to trade Amare Stoudemire

[knickswin]

I don't see it happening with him on this team. Amare is a niche player. He needs a good pg, incredible spacing, and the offense run for him to be a good enough scorer to make up for his other faults (defense, defense, defense). he does not have a post game, and he lacks finesse.

I would LOVE pau gasol, luis scola, or andrea bargnani. they are much better fits with carmelo. all excellent second options who wouldn't be LIABILITIES for their teams on defense.

pau to ny, amare to orl, howard to lakers

Trading Carmelo for Deron Williams would be even better.

DO IT

[R.I.P.]

Are you the Knicks owner or GM? Otherwise I

Just get a real coach. Try for Jerry Sloan or Phil Jackson or go for Jeff Van Gundy.

Scola or Bargnani over Amare???? Over-react much?

[dee-rose]

Bargs? Call the raptors FO right now. They'll accept your offer so fast it'll be in the league office before you get a chance to hang out.

not for the defense. Chandler isn't even enough to overshadow Amare's "defense"

JVG back in NY? Hopefully another brawl ensues.

Wouldn't be that bad but again nothing is changing unless the Knicks fire D'Antoni.

[blacknapalm]

bargnani? not a liability on defense? wtf? if douglas didn't run the pick n roll like a fool, amar'e would most likely be fine. though i do agree he doesn't fit that well with melo. they just both iso too much for them to maximize their talents

Chandler for Dwight.

And then you have Howard and Bynum on the same team. What do you do next? Trade Bynum or....

Well sooner or later the personnel has to be held accountable, even if it doesnt start from the top down with the coach, it COULD start from the players but i doubt it is. I guarantee u that amare isnt in practice yelling at people to play defense... Pau might end up doing that. Melo and baron might agree. Idk.

I think all teams would at least be on the right path with that trade.. I like it a lot. Idk what LA would do with howard/bynum at PF , makes no sense, but NY def gets better and Orl gets themselves a flashy all star on a team that has a PG and shooters
