With only one game being played tonight due to Hurricane Sandy rendering the Barclays Center unable to host Knicks @ Nets, I figured I would take this time to address the current Amare Stoudemire situation. First off, let me just say that I had Amare pegged as one of my bounce back candidates for this year. This was highly contingent on him being able to stay healthy and unfortunately Amare was not even able to play 1 game for the Knicks this season before requiring knee surgery. He underwent surgrey on his left knee on Wednesday and is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks. At this point, I do not even think Amare is worth stashing, just cut your losses now. Even when he comes back, he is going to be dealing with rust, conditioning issues, and trying to mesh with Carmelo. Melo should spend a lot of time playing the 4 with Amare on the shelf. A role that he has been able to thrive in the past.
