Amare Stoudemire’s New York misery and a look back at the Summer of 2010 with hindsight

May 2nd, 2012 · 23 Comments

I feel bad for Amare Stoudemire.
Today he was rightly lambasted for being on the wrong end of a fight with a fire extinguisher, as The Wall Stree Journal so colorfully illustrates.
The resulting laceration of his palm likely ends his season two or three games early and puts the Knicks one more player down in a [...]

No regrets on Amare, why Steve Nash may have spoken up now, and the end of Aaron Brooks’ season in China

March 31st, 2012 · 9 Comments

There is no question the Phoenix Suns botched the Summer of 2010 after Amare Stoudemire decided to take his talents to the Big Apple.

Phoenix Suns 91, New York Knicks 88
The Phoenix Suns will meet up with Amare Stoudemire and his New York Knicks tonight for the first time in Year 2 following their divorce, and thus far this season neither side is benefiting from the separation.

10 ways the labor agreement impacts the Phoenix Suns

December 1st, 2011 · 22 Comments

This past year NBA front offices were stuck in limbo in that they could only evaluate each potential decision based on the current system, not the system those decisions would end up impacting.
With the lockout all but over, those poor general managers now have a road map by which to base future decisions.
Now it’s time [...]
