I hope not. We need a healthy Amare in the playoffs.

This "Mortal Kombat" defense is becoming a way of life against the Knicks! They had better STEP UP!

isn't there a way of being able to pay him more by dropping somebody?
or make some trades to free up cap space?

if only it were that easy we could drop Amare and sign a max guy or 2 solid dudes plus a pound of some cali headband

Nice to see Kurt Thomas back into the mix of things.

No. We have his early bird rights and can only offer $5.5mil for the first year. Each year his salary increses by a few hundred thousands totally $24mil for 5yrs. He can get $35-50mil elsewhere. Unlike Lin and Novak he is an unrestricted free agent.

StarksEwing1 @ 1/10/2013 9:02 PM
i hope melo is having a nice day of rest he better make up for it against the bulls
Sangfroid @ 1/10/2013 9:02 PM
At least Novak is giving NBA fouls
TheRealist @ 1/10/2013 9:04 PM
The Knicks finally start playing defense and their offense is nowhere to be found...
