idk, if LBJ could not get it done with the team he had this past year, why would he get it done with amar'e and scrubs?

Eddy Curry a scrub? Im sorry sir, it is unfair to call somebody a scrub when they dont even play.

Who says the rest of the team would be scrubs? Gallinari is solid and when you have a great duo and arguably the best player in the game, much less in a big market like NY, role players tend to follow. Not to mention that they'll have more cap space next season with Eddy Curry's contract coming off the books.

He's perfect for the Knicks, no defense and injury concerns. So give another big a huge contract like ya'll did with Eddy Curry.

Until it is on ESPN or Yahoo! I can not take it that seriously.

You know D'antoni would play something along the lines of House, Lebron, Galinari, Chandler, Amare with no positions and everyone would just be playing ball.

Lebron would run the pick n roll all day with Amare and be the only rebounder on the team. I'd guess 30-10-10 might be a possibility

Ok. I understand that. It's not like he already started recruiting players to play with him in New York, have breakfest with the head coach to go over there relationship, and attend a broadway show in a Yankee game. If he was doing anything like that though there could be an argument...

Frank Isola is the source, just via Twitter. As opposed to a link on the net. Get it?

There are credible sources who use twitter. You can be fooled by using twitter as a source just like you can be posting an article that cites a "blog rumor" as some legit source. And that has happened in the past before. A rumor online in some sportsblog grew legs and people passed it around.

There is nothing wrong with using twitter as source IF the source being used is credible. I use Adam Schefter twitter. Much of what he says is what you listen to on sportscenter/espn only you get it first instead of waiting for sportscenter. His twitter postings have been used as a source.

Injury concerns? His only real injury concern is his eye because we've seen nothing to suggest that he didn't recover fully from the microfracture surgery. The difference between Stat and Curry is that Stat won't be getting signed based on potential, he doesn't have conditioning problems, he's a proven playoff performers and he's played for winning teams plus he's not only a superior offensive player to Curry, but believe it or not, a much better shot blocker and rebounder as well.

He's had 3 knee surgeries, has a massive ego, he has an attitude problem, and does not play defense. None of those are really a concern except for his bad knees and inability to play D.

The Knicks can't win anything until they play Defense. Too bad, their coach doesn't care about that so it looks like New York will never win anything.

Amare is a great power forward if he has a legit center to protect him. Tyson Chandler would be a great center for that team....

His knee hasn't been a problem since 2006, the only season he's missed significant time since then was 2009 when he had the eye injury.
