Amar'e Stoudemire not happy about his playing time this season. Wasn't that part of the deal coming in? "That was not a part of the deal.”

Ok. Goodbye.

I thought he helped us some this year but he isn't any better than replacement at this point in his career. Let's add a developmental big and move on.

I'm fine with a prospective big over him (at the minimum). He served well as a starter until he didn't perform with his given opportunities against Toronto. He just wasn't able to keep up when Spo gave him chances.

He also said it was the best experience of his career. I wonder how they left that part out.

There is no use of Amare, when he was not used with Bosh/Whiteside injured. We went with Winslow at center then him, cause that how bad he is. Amare wont play in this league on any team. Maybe a team that wants to tank .

Y'all tripping, Studmire helped us plenty from what I was expecting.

No hard feelings from me, Amar'e did good for what he is - a washed up former superstar.

He was a great teammate, it was clear from watching him off the court. He actually helped for a stretch, that's all you can ask from a vet minimum guy. He's disappointed he didn't play more, can't hate a guy for that. Probably time to move on.

This article is full of nothing but speculation. A'mare knew his role. He is a competitor so of course he wanted to be on the court, but this doesn't mean he is upset at the Heat. He has had 2 micro fracture surgeries and every year he is still on an active roster he is grateful. He made his money and now wants to be with a winning organization to close out his career.

You guys have to remember, Amare has never been to a NBA Finals in his career. This is a guy who was a perennial all-star. Nash & Stoudemire were the best pick n roll combo since Stockton & Malone. He was on the All NBA 1st team in 2006-07. I'm sure he's just frustrated that he hasn't been able to contribute more, and doesn't see many opportunities to get back there in the future.

true but if he played good defense then he would have gotten more mins.

which brings me to this article:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/amar-e-stoudemire-claims-nobody-ever-taught-him-214916043--nba.html

For all his scoring talents and athletic ability, even at the pre-injury peak of his powers with the Phoenix Suns, Stoudemire has just never been an aware or adept defender, much to the consternation of the fans of the teams for which he has played.

Luckily, there is a very simple explanation for Stoudemire's defensive woes — just teach him how to play defense, dummy! (For your health.)

You see, according to the man himself, as detailed by Al Iannazzone of Newsday, nobody's ever taken the time to do so:

"Just having a defensive coach for the first time in my career is going to help," Stoudemire said. "I've never been taught defense in my whole career. To now have a coach that actually teaches defense and teaches strategies and knows positioning and posture and how to guard different plays is going to be helpful. I'm going to take it as a challenge, accept the challenge and try to improve as a player."

On its face, that seems like a reasonable (if tabloid-vitriol-heavy) response to the notion that a grown man who has played at the upper echelons of NBA basketball for more then a decade has never received any instruction on how to play defense, especially considering he played as a rookie under Frank Johnson for a team that finished 11th among 29 NBA teams in defensive efficiency, according to Basketball-Reference.com's numbers. Plus, as we've noted before, for all the derision of his defensive acumen as a pace-pushing, offensive-minded coach, the Phoenix teams that D'Antoni coached and on which Stoudemire played routinely ranked around the middle of the NBA pack; it's not like they were eternally bereft on that end or that nobody there, D'Antoni or his assistants included, knew anything about defense, Stoudemire's own well-documented shortcomings aside
