Kay does know what he's talking about but he's just rude to most of his callers IMO .

Finally found a reason to start commenting on this forum again.. Stat is a much better signing than Bosh. Would hate to lose Lee but who knows maybe we can get somebody for him... By the way missed you guys....

It's Ian O'Connor quoting Brian Cashman.

When can we start saying "Amare sucks"? Today? July 8th? After the season opener?
Mray20 @ 7/5/2010 8:09 PM
Can't wait to see teams Doubling Amare and leavig Gallo wide open to knock down threes

In a way, this signing sort of undoes the Layden McKnee blunder from the draft some years ago. We had the #7 and then traded that, plus Camby for McKnee, which never worked out. We should've had Amare. Now we have him. Late, but better than never.

All these guys are rude when it comes to NY sports talk. Francesa, Kay, Tierney, etc...

broussard already backtracked today saying that the lebron camp is intrigued with what the knicks did and we are in the mix. he still refuses to put us in front of chicago while other reporters have. all agree that miami is definitely on the outside. that is sweet revenge on riley.

i can't stand how he talks... exaggerates every single syllable & vowel.

no way does it undo that blunder... we got the guy, yes, but he's now post 2 major surgeries & 8 years older... i'm happy with this signing but this in no way should be the highlight of the summer... there better be follow up moves in place, but for now i'll give Donnie the thumbs up for getting this first part of the plan done.

Oh absolutely. I just mean we never had that pick, because Laydummy screwed us on that one. Obviously, not having Amare for 7 years hurts, but at least we have him now.

The guy wants to be here. He picked his spot while the bitch Bosh follows in either Wades or lebron.

In fact, we could end up with one or the other.

I prefer Amare over Booze.

I had heard that the 5th year is partially guaranteed with some games played incentive in year 4.

Seems to me that Amare is just comfortable in his skin and is acting like a man. Took in a broadway show he invested in and not a whole lot of fanfair like the others are doing.

Knicks are in a funny spot being the low man on the ranking but having the most money to spend.

The guy is only a year older than Dlee and a game maker player.

naturally one can find fault with him as most media will as they are paid to create controversy.

He is not Lebron, but this puts us on equal footing with anyone right now. Lebron can no play with Amare and Gallo. Amare had more points in the paint than anyone last year. Gallo is killing it from the outside. A slasher like Lebron or wade would look nice on this team.

Walsh is playing a good game here. Last week nobody was thinking we were in it.

NO lebron, no championship. But lets be real, with Jordan Hill and our pick next year, we are not championship caliber anyway.

Crawford/McGrady 2.0 telling us everything we want to hear. At least I get to see him beat on Eastern Conference PF's.
