Amare Stoudemire

Hand it to Carmelo Anthony—he’s never afraid. Some people would be inclined to panic following the New York Knicks’ loss to the Charlotte Bobcats at home. While it’s still early in the season, the Knicks are 1-3, and 1-2 at Madison Square Garden. Not the kind of start you expect from a purported title contender. [...]

You knew this one was coming. For the 12th-year running, the NBA polled all 30 of its general managers on the happenings of the league. Questions ranged from “Which team will be most improved in 2013-14?” to “Which player is best at moving without the ball?” to “Why in the hell won’t the Boston Celtics [...]

As one Adam Fromal would say: Hahahahaha. An ESPN system called SCHOENE predicted the New York Knicks to finish 37-45 this season, per the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, which is hysterical. The Knicks went 54-28 last year, meaning they’d have to be 17 games worse in 2013-14. Again, hysterical. Carmelo Anthony wasn’t laughing, though. [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire is associated with disappointment more than he is anything else. The six-time All-Star, who is averaging over 20 points and eight rebounds for his career, finds himself a roster liability and financial hindrance with the New York Knicks. This wasn’t how his tenure in the Big Apple was supposed to play out. And [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]

LeBron James wants that third straight NBA title. So does Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the rest of the Miami Heat. But Steve Kerr doesn’t think they’re going to get it. During an interview with Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times (h/t Sun Sentinel), the TNT NBA analyst made it clear he doesn’t [...]

This is the moment all New York Knicks fans have been waiting for, but not in a good away. According to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, Amar’e Stoudemire won’t be returning to Hakeem Olajuwon’s camp to work on his post moves this summer, as the team believes his surgically-repaired knees need rest: Stoudemire will [...]

Nick Young didn’t join the Los Angeles Lakers to play defense. He signed in Hollywood to shoot. That much was clear from Day 1, the moment Young put pen to paper. For more than a half-decade, he’s been known for his (inefficient) scoring and nothing else. Why would he change now? He wouldn’t. And he [...]

Carmelo Anthony is right. And he’s wrong. All at once. According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, ‘Melo wanted the Knicks to trade for Rajon Rondo after the Boston Celtics dealt future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce: Anthony told friends after the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade to the [...]

The New York Knicks should be afraid. Very afraid. Carmelo Anthony, the lone superstar on the Knicks’ roster can become an unrestricted free agent next summer, an opportunity he will likely seize. Then 30, this will be ‘Melo’s first chance to explore free agency, and he’s not going to pass it up. He’ll join a [...]
