Our best chance to get rid of STATue

[Knicker23]

no 1 is trading for amare

You're going to look at that Bobcats team and tell me they'd turn down the option of signing Amare.... because... they're concerned with his health? **** they're going to lose 60 games over the next few seasons without him, why would it even be a risk? If Amare goes down, they're right back where they were anyway.... If they get Anthony Davis, you think they'd rather waste him with no talent than put a Stat type next to him.....

All this Amare is untradable stuff I think is overrated.. Whether it's the Cavs, Bobcats, Portland, Orlando, NJ.... Someone out there is willing to take a risk on him... Be it for basketball reasons or $ / fan interest reasons.

only way to rid of Stat is package Lin with him.

Calderon, Kleiza, Amir for Amare, Lin

I just wanted to chime in and point out that this is the worst post I've ever seen.


Carry on.

i think he's a Toronto fan.

If that is the case, then he would need to go through fan indoctrinating, so he can develop the forum's normal case of "Grass is greener". "Grass is greener" is a norm here, and consists of people think anything but what is here now would be better. That mentality resulted in people wanting Ewing gone in the worst possible way. Well, Ewing did go... in the worst possible way. The Knicks actually traded away a draft pick to move Ewing, got two back, and ended up having Layden use them to acquire parts. To avoid depression, don't look up who was obtained for the draft picks.

Hypothetical trades threads are really boring and countless.

Well, the thing is if one of them actually happened the originator would get bragging rights Brousard-style.

Why not the Wiz.. Put Amare and Nene together.

If you are going to go into hypothetical situations that aren't going to happen, can we then extend it, go absurd, and figure out who on here who posts would be bundled with Amar'e in deal to fix the Knicks? While you are at it, to up the value, you can throw in the NYC chicken and rice stand to. Not sure throwing MSG would be doable though.

Seems kinda redundant... but I'd be open to Amare for Shard, and I'd take Blatche if they throw in Booker or Seraphin.

It wouldn't surprise me though if every team flat out refused to take Amare unless he was packaged with Lin or Shump. I could imagine Orlando turning down Turk/Q/Duhon for Stat.

they have nene and seraphin to develop no need for him

[Pharmcat]

the only team I could maybe see would be ORL if their owner gets desperate post DH era

thats it

If we traded Stat for that assortment of trash, I would wear my Allan Houston jersey and pretend the league ended in 99.

I would do it if we go their 1st rounder in this year's draft.

This thread is basically a prediction thread. If Knicks look to move Amare, which the might, what team is a buyer. Sixers have been interested before. That is the topic of the thread and it actually is not far fetched. I see what you are getting at, people are making fantasy trade suggestions, however the fact remains that Amare might be traded and there are at least a handful of teams that are likely to be willing to get him.
Teams looking for a scoring big man:
Thunder, Bobcats?, Suns, Nets, Sixers, Hornets? Warriors.

Even then... I think I will just go full video game, Diablo III and the new Halo, plus grad school/work will be enough to keep me entertained.

I still think GS could be interested too.

Amare/Lin for Lee/Beans/Curry.

The fans go from booing the owner to being in love with him for Lin's return. Amare and Bogut could work together. NY takes back Bean's contract (who could still develop), Curry (hope his ankle is okay), and Lee.

I don't think we can do much better than that. If there's somebody our FO likes with the #19 pick I could get on board, given their track-record. That's right around where Faried was taken last year.

[Knicker23]

Trading Amare wouldn't be difficult. There are more teams I think that are in a position to take a risk on him than would stay away from the upside of adding what he can be.. General Board posters that aren't top team fans seem to agree.

The question would be, what would we be willing to take back... Trash, but trash that fits with what we have? Expirings.. etc. I think we'd get some not so terrible offers.. with the main thing getting Stat off the books.

All this trade Stat nonsense is really getting sad at this point.

Do you realize how good Seraphin is? The Wiz would be stupid to trade him. He's gonna be a baller when he develops some more.

I was talking to my friend who is a big Rockets fan. He has even met and spoken to the GM (Morey)before.

Anyway he told me that the Rockets would do the following trade probably
Amare for Scola + Martin.

He said the reason is that the owner does not want to tank. He wants to stay competitive to make money. He would do it to sell jerseys, etc. As a fan he hates that he gets the 14th pick yearly because of this type of thinking. We made an agreement to rename 14th the rocket pick.

He also said that the Rockets don't really care much for Martin so he would be tradeable.

Based on that he said it is a realistic trade.

I've met and talked to MJ before, doesn't mean I know WTF he's gonna do or not do in terms of trades.
