Trade Amare Stoudemire - Message Board Basketball Forum

Let me lay it out there. He doesn't play defense. His feet never leave the floor for a rebound. He has butter fingers. His shots aren't dropping like they used too. And he simply can't gel with Lin. Trade him for some picks or for some young prospects.

Trade a player at his absolute lowest value? How about fire the coach first, and see if a new voice can change the team?

No one is giving that up for Stat.

His contract is the worst in the NBA, to get rid of it, you'll have to pick up one just as bad.

MightyWhitey · 03-11-2012, 01:56 PM

Better to get rid of him than see if he can get better or worse. I personally would take no more chances with this bum.

Scoooter · 03-11-2012, 02:00 PM

I really just want to go to a Knicks game and verbally berate him.

We could get Rashard Lewis for him. At least he would fit D'Antoni's system.

Amar'e fits D'antoni's system. He just doesn't have any pride. Neither of them do. It's not realistic, but D'antoni should bench Melo and Amar'e for an entire game, just to send a message.

I don't know how anybody wants to go to Knicks games.
By far the most expensive tickets in the NBA just to watch this shitty team.

Worth it to hurl insults at these $100 million losers.

He'd fit better than Amare?

He likes to shoot 3s.

Rashard Lewis is the 2nd highest played player in the league and he cant even start for the Wizards. Stop it!

I tried to make my trade idea as preposterous as the idea of trading Amar'e right now, when his trade value is the lowest it's ever been in his life.

As much as I can't stand the D'antoni, his offense isn't based off threes.

It's certainly a huge part of it. For a team with no shooters, we continue to hoist them up. We are third in the league in 3 pointers attempted per game.
