Amare' is a Knick no more

Mike Isola of the New York Daily News has reported that indeed the Knicks and Amare' Stoudemire have agreed to a buyout.

All that is left for Amare' to clear waivers and seek a contender to sign with for the remainder of the season but Amare' is a Knick no more.

My last favorite Knick is gone and the door is closed.

Let's see if Phil Jackson is wise enough to re-sign Jeremy Tyler from that Chinese team, Shanxi Zhongyu now that Anthony and Stoudemire are gone.

Probably not, since that would be the intelligent thing to do.

Good luck

As you have noticed I haven't put up any posts in quite awhile. Well, that's because there is no way in hell I am going to sit here and write 60 of the same articles about how pathetic the Knicks are. Just not going to do it.

I am motivated to write something today because of how significant a day of demarcation this is going to be in future Knicks history.

Tonight will be the last time Carmelo Anthony is seen in a Knicks uniform this season.

As I told you months ago when his knee began to bark that Anthony would prolong the surgery just to make an appearance in the All-Star game. Selfish? Yes, but look at who we are talking about.

Also, today is probably the last day, or weekend that Amare' Stoudemire will be a Knick.

It is very likely that the Knicks and Amare' will agree to a buy out and allow Amare' to move on to a contender seeking a ring before he retires from the league.

Many people in this city are still hopeful that embracing losing in hopes for more ping pong balls and Jackson's questionable trades thus far will lead them to the promise land. If not, I can see James Dolan writing nasty emails to Phil Jackson instead of diehard fans who question his ability to manage the Knicks simply based upon his membership in the lucky sperm club.

However you slice it you Knicks fans have endured a lot but brace yourselves because you have about four more years of this before things begin to turn around.

Good luck.

He's going to be the size of the Hindenburg

Before last nights loss to Memphis Phil Jackson attempted a new strategy to help the team. I think it's called minimalism.

That's right addition by subtraction.

Phil got the Knicks in a three way deal with the Cavaliers and Oklahoma that sent Shumpert and JR Smith to Cleveland for a bunch off stiffs that will be razed and a 2016 draft pick I think coming from OKC.

Dalembert was such an upgrade over Tyson Chandler that he's being simply released today.

So with Andrea Bargnani, Anthony and Stoudemire sitting out due to injury you Knicks fans should see some very interesting games through the end of the season.

Speaking of Anthony, how selfish is it of him to delay surgery just so he can participate in the all star festivities.

We all know when he stops running he's going to be the size of the Hindenburg when it reached Long Island.

Why not do it now so he can recuperate before the spring and be in top shape for camp? Oh no. He has his millions and he has his way. Every move Phil has made including re-signing Carmelo has been nothing but a complete cluster fuck. And let's not even talk about that head coach of yours.

What a disaster.

Knicks lose again, Memphis 105 - Knicks 83
