Multiple third rounders, cash considerations, I would even consider exchanging first round picks with them, oh wait. . .

Stat and Tyson aren't going to be playing at this level for 4 years. They're close to being past their primes and I expect injuries to really start taking their toll in a couple of seasons. Chandler missed almost 70 games in 2 seasons before the last one and we all know Stat's history. Four years playing at peak performance seems awfully optimistic.
You mean like the Celtics? Look the more talent you have the less each player has to do. This team just needs to add some talent as we're discussing. We've got Lin getting in the mix and hopefully he takes some of the pressure off. Jorts will be back. Hopefully Baron and maybe JR. That will make things easier on ATM so they don't have to do everything.
No, I don't mean like the Celtics. Their big 3 could all create their own shot, and they had an all-star PG in Rondo, one of the and deepest benches in the league to get them over the top. You're right their big 3 had help but they also brought more to the table.
Stat and Chandler rely mainly on their explosiveness to get the job done, take that away and this team will decline. I believe that decline will be enough to take the Knicks out of serious contention, especially with teams like the Thunder and the Clips rising to the top.
You want to talk about prime? Those teams will be in it in a couple of seasons, not us. Better to try and win while they're all still relatively healthy and while Stat and Chandler's knees still have some life left in them. I don't see them playing like this in a couple of seasons, not with their knees.
Thats pretty Doom and Gloom now that we still have Amare for almost 4 more years

Just trying to be realistic. There's a reason that teams passed up on Stat's big contract and it was because of his knees. I just don't believe they will be the same players after another couple of seasons. I'm not saying they will be done but I don't believe they will be good enough to get us over the hump unless they do what LJ did when his back problems developed and change their respective games by becoming better post players.
I still believe we can contend if they add the right pieces but I do believe in a couple of seasons we will start to see diminishing returns from both of them.

I actually agree completely, though, I worry if we will get "a couple of more seasons" out of Amare. I sure hope that is not the case but you kinda feel with him that he can get hurt for good at any time. More than any other players.
Its intersting that when Amare was playing great last year, all the threads about being thrilled that we got him and not Bosh. I would take that switch in a NY minute!
But, this is it and we can just hope ...
