We gon let Amar'e of the hook?

What he got doe?

I know you didn't make this thread and don't even know about his injury history

 

[PIFF101]

He played great that first year and thought he could hold up on any injuries and do it again. First signature player to sign with us during free agency and was the leader for a short but great time. He just can't stay on the court because of his knees which are not insured. I agree we should have not used our amnesty on Billups to have a future shot of using it on Amare but He's coming off the books soon. Gotta ride with him

Just answer the question

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

dude went from being the next Shawn Kemp, to being the next Shawn Kemp

 

[jwinfield]

Then he got hurt, people love acting like it was somehow Melo's fault, Amare fell off, it was injuries.

Yup.

D'Antoni took a guy with problematic knees and ran him into the ground.

His first year there D'Antoni played him 40mpg in December, excluding the 54 minutes followed by a 41 minute game at the end of November.

Why should he get flak? Amar'es work ethic is on some next level shyt, he can easily phone it in and collect pay checks but he's always working hard and trying to get back on the court to produce. I used to shyt on him for going to fashion shows and shyt like that until I realized that it's not his fault his knees are ticking time bombs

I fukks with Amar'e though. I want him to have a great year this coming season.

Weve known his knees were ticking time bombs for many years, if you arent a delusional New Yorker, Knicks fukked up giving dude 5 years max

 

[Street Knowledge]

They panicked and gave him that max deal which was retarded

 

[Sccit]

AMARE WAS ACTUALLY BEASTIN AND KNICKS WERE BALLIN BEFORE MELO CAME ALONG...DUDE WAS BASICALLY LIKE A 27-9 FRANCHISE TYPE DUDE BEFORE THE TRADE.

 

[23Barrettcity]

He had knee debridement surgery in both knees last year

That's irrelevant he got hurt then hurt his back in the playoffs showboating then the lockout then 2 knee surgeries last year. Mel

TRUE BUT WHO KNOWS IF THINGS WOULDA BEEN DIFFERENT WITHOUT MELO...THAT FIRST SEASON IN NEW YORK WAS LOOKING LIKE THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHIN THAT NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO MATERIALIZE
