Knicks · Would you break up Melo/Amare to Orlando? (page 1)

Bad deal for Orlando. I'm not even sure how many teams would give Amare a max length and salary contract right now as an FA let alone in a deal where they also have to give up Dwight.

NO!

Only STAT for DH and ONLY if we have 95% shot of adding CP3 after we amnesty Arenas. Shorty as starting PG? What were you thinking?

Your talking about the MVP for the first half of last season in Amare

I think he can drive by with EASE and either force a double team or dunking it or laying it up.
He will have problems vs a good/great defensive team and even teams with great a good shot blocker.
He will be harrasing PG's on the other defensive side too.
If Jared Jeffries is playing with him though, that doesn't count if his man is cheating.
I can see Billup's and whoever is playing the 2-3, getting wide open looks.

this is a lot more about the $64 million that Areana's contract is owed.
Amnesty Clause doesn't just doesn't hold vs the cap, you still have to pay the contract...
This is the only way I can see us getting Dwight Howard and still have cap room left.

Id do it and include Amare in the deal. Id do it for eith Melo or Amare but I would rather send Amare.

I wouldn't endorse your statement but Amare did have a great run. His value was much higher then than now.

He is a rookie, will probbaly go into a 35 game funk at a critical time of the season. Driving by people is great but we need someone who has excellent court vision and elite level passing skills. Maybe he has that, I don't know but I didn't glean that from his reviews.
