Amare Stoudemire went to the Knicks yesterday on a 5 year 100 million dollar deal. I think they overpayed for the big man (figuring if you matched the stats from last year Amare had 23 points and 9 boards and David Lee had 20 points and 12 boards for half the price) but the Knicks were obligated to spend big on someone especially since they wasted the last 2 seasons clearing cap space.
Stoudemire once thrived in a Mike D'Antoni run and gun system and if you match him with a decent PG it will make everyones life that much easier. Amare has already made a call to Melo and Tony Parker to come join him, and if that somehow happens the Knicks could easily jump to a 2 or 3 seed. It will be very interesting on how the Knicks fill out the rest of the roster but at least Amare is a start.
