Rumor: Amar'e & Melo at odds over '12 personnel 

Post#1 » by 2010 » Fri Nov 4, 2011 9:40 pm

The latest out of Gotham suggests that Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony are at odds because Carmelo wants Chris Paul in New York, while Amar'e wants Dwight Howard. Amar'e believes that Steve Nash will come play for the veteran's minimum if it meant he got to toss the ball to Melo, Stat, or Dwight. While Knicks fans obviously drool at the thought, here's the question:

How the hell would the rest of the league compete against THAT?

LOL

Sounds like SportCritic's wet dream might come true

In all seriousness though, is there a real source reporting this, or just some guy with a blog, which is the same thing as a poster on this forum saying it.

HOLY SH*T

If you told me 2 years ago that a major Knicks concern is whether the Knicks should sign Paul like Melo says or Dwight and Nash like Amare says

I would never ever ever believe you!!

Good thing Amar'e could beat up Melo and get his plan done. Nash throwing lobs to Howard and Amare while Melo hits open jumpshots is unbeatable.

LOL

So Amar'e and Melo are holding the same debate we have on these forums repeatedly?

No offense, but this does not sound legitimate at all. It's like a scripted, canned "problem" if you know what I mean.

Not really, I always said I'd be down if we got a real PG to sort the whole mess out.

Nash would be the more important acquisition of the two.

It sounds like some guy daydreaming on his blog. I don't think it's legit at all, but it is fun :D

I don't think Dwight is coming, but that would be an all-time great team. We would be....unstoppable. :o

It's a good problem to have and I doubt it's that much of an issue even if they have differing opinions.

Although I don't think there will be enough room to get Howard unless he accepts less than his max. There might not even be enough room for Paul at his max but I think he'd take less than it to come to NY where I doubt Howard would.

even during a lockout the knicks' organization still seems to be the punching bag of the league. :lol:

With Dwight, Amar'e, Melo and Nash on the team the Knicks could fill out the roster with RealGM posters and still win a chip or two.
