    The Knicks have to trade STAT

    its so obvious they gel so muxh better without him in the line up. he clogs middle and jams up space. yes its a game and a half in but it was clear when he didnt play last year too

    Finding a team that will take him is easier said then done.

    Big contract, dodgy knees, back and eye problems will eliminate a number of teams.

    no

    you can't win in the playoffs without amare.

    this is the regular season. it's a different game.

    What part of his game do they need?

    His lack of defence and failure to rebound the ball?

    the Knicks would have to pay at least 50% of contract each year for someone to take him off their hands

    No one wants that waste of space and money. Knicks would have to give him away and pay his contract.

    If he's that bad that they have to trade him can we at least agree to quit referring to him as "STAT"

    no need to trade him. with felton on the floor with him he will be fine. they played well together the first time around.

    I think amare is underrated defensively, honestly though camby is more valuable then stat. I wouldn't trade him though he still can shoot as good as anh bigs and can create his own offense. Perfect world have amare come off the bench when melos out

    yes that is true melo wasnt there. they are playing like a team so far this year and i think melo is tired of hearing about being knocked out in the first round. for the knicks to succeed they need stat, in the playoffs they will be a tough out if melo and stat can play together.

    who can match the front line of chandler, stat, and melo?

    If you put Amar'e on the open trade market, you would find a suitor by the end of the week. Assuming the knicks weren't demanding an unreasonable amount of picks in return.

    Guy is very valuable in a system that plays to his strengths. At present, the Knicks under Woodson are not that system.

    If the Knicks are smart they trade Amare for a high second round draft pick and solid bench player that is a combination 2/3 and can shoot a mid range jumper.

    To the person who said the Knicks would have to eat at least 50% of the contract for a trade... That's not how trades work in the NBA.

    For somebody to take on A'm'a'r'e' in a trade, the Knicks would have to include a first round pick, Schumpert, and take on a toxic contract in return.

    Okay then a solid power forward with a mid range jumper and who can rebound. But definitely need a high second round draft pick.

    Camby is soft and injured a lot. Amare being the issue is the whole point of this thread.

    Why pay a guy $100 million to get 8 points and 5 boards a night and integrate into an already fluid offense when a D league guy who hustles can do that for minimum salary? Trade Amare for depth and a draft pick.....Knicks need those.

    you guys are forgetting that they are playing against a team that doesnt have their best player. They will need him theres no one else on the team that can score 17 to 25 consistently. Dont forget after he busted his hand in the playoffs the game he came back they won cause he had 20 and 10

    but thats my point-- what everyone wants is what amare does. knicks need depth? look at that roster where do they need depth? in the playoffs its an 8 man rotation so what good will depth do for you then? nba trades you have to match salary for cap purposes so what you would like isnt gonna happen

    He averages 8 boards a game. Mello has only been out of the 1st round once in his career. Amare is one of the best playoff performers at his position. He gave the Lakers big problems for years in PHX. All NBA 1st team players 2 years I believe. You need superstars to win the playoffs. Mello can't carry this team to a title.

    They don't need to average 18 and 8. Amare won't give you that against a solid playff team either unless he hoists up 19 shots a game.

    And the Knicks aren't gonna win if he does.

    seriously? you must not pay attention to the nba, amare can get those #'s against most 4's in the league. he averaged 15 and 7 in the playoffs the last 2 years when he was injured. his career playoff avg is 23 and 9. 2 years ago regular season he avged 25 and 8 and last year he averaged 17.5 and 8 and he was injured
