Brooklyn isn’t taking Amare off your hands, sorry to say. I’d rather we resign Humphries than take on that disaster of a contract.

The Amare thing makes me incredibly angry, but also incredibly sad. I was a huge fan when he came here and personally revitalized the franchise, saying and doing all the right things, becoming a part of the NY culture etc. And he seemed like a good guy also.

Now his career is nosediving, and his punching the fire extinguisher is almost a coda. Do you remember at the beginning of the season when we were talking about having the best front line in the NBA with Chandler, Melo and STAT? Now all we’re talking about is what garbage we can dump Amare for.

Just really depressing.

Brian Cronin: David Lee would fit in nicely with the current Knick personnel. He’d be the back-up 5 and he’d be a 4 who could actually help move the ball.

please with the david lee stuff. i realize he is well liked here after putting up numbers in the d'antoni system on 30 win teams, but he is a horrible long contract, too. the only way he would make any sense here would be if big chief triangle came to ny. lee would make the almost perfect mid post initiator of the triangle as his best skills are catching the ball and a top passer for a 4/5. defense isn't at a premium for the 5 in the triangle (wennington, longley, cartwright) putting lee in the mid post flanked by melo and shumpert on the right side forming the triangle with lin at the top of the key and chandler away from the ball (as far as humanly possible) might just work. this also allows chandler free run to crash the offensive boards from the weak side. lee's deficiencies on the defensive end could be hidden by cross matching with chandler on the defensive end and chandler backstopping him. the more i think about it the better i like it. i just don't see how amar'e and carmelo can play on the same floor at the same time. i'm sure amar'e punching the glass had everything to do with melo heaving up 26 shots while amar'e was 6-9 from the floor.

Dude, just want to say thanks for an entertaining blog. Yours is the best one out there. It’s been hilarious all season. I really appreciate the humor after what has been nothing worse than a complete crash and burn of a playoffs. Unless some miracle happens, like Lin coming back and giving the NYK 30/10 and at the same time STAT pulls a Willis Reed, this one trick pony of a team is done. Hope you’ll be around during the off-season. They’ll be lots to talk about.

With the injuries, the Knicks’ only chance is for Melo to go nuts the rest of the series.

So, no.

Will Woodson finally say no to Melo-ball to save his job?

Brian Cronin: I know Lewis’ primary value would be his expiring contract, but you really don’t think he’d play at all for the Knicks? I mean, in the alternate universe where Washington would actually trade Lewis for STAT (which is not this universe), that is.

He'd probably take Novak's place in the rotation but would get fewer minutes. As I've said I don't think anyone's taking Amar'e unless the contracts we're getting back are just as bad- Washington trading Lewis is just about as likely as most of the other trades that were proposed- not very- but at least it does have the possibility of moving the Knicks into serious contention while the others (at least IMO) really don't.

Yep. I used to love Wallace. Heck, I bet if you did a search of the archives you might find me talking about how underrated he was back in 2008 or whenever. But he seems to be in a major decline phase.
