Combination of things. He's had a rough last year, he knows he's not playing like he was, nor is he the player he was, things with his death in the family, and Playing with Melo shoots so much, they have no offensive flow.

Not giving him a pass, that was a dumb thing to do. Life is different for Amare now in a lot of ways.

These are my feelings. Once he was considered to be the future of the Suns franchise.

Again I agree Amare made a dumb mistake but I like that he cares.

Also he did not majorly dump on the Suns when he left.

Maybe he finally realized he ain't going nowhere. He's locked into a contract as well as other players, and he's going to be mired on a mediocre team until his career is over?

If not, he should have.

Did not majorly dump on the Suns? He handled his transition from the Suns (I say "transition" because the Suns were actively exploring trade options up until the trade deadline, etc. that when he actually signed with the Knicks it felt like a whole saga ended) as well as I've seen a superstar do it over the last decade. He never let it become a distraction; instead, Grant Hill said that 2010 team had the best comraderie of any team he'd ever been a part of, including his Duke years. I wonder if former members of Lebron's final Cavs' team, or the Nuggets team before Melo finally forced his way out, or this year's Magic team, will look back on those teams with the same fondness Hill has for the 2010 Suns.

The full-page ad in the Republic thanking Phx fans for all their support was a nice touch, as well. But the fact that Suns fans don't look back on that season as "Amare's contract year" says a lot about his character.

Oh, and I absolutely was serious about trading Gortat for Amare. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Although, the one good thing about Gortat is that you know he would never have the balls to get into an altercation with a fire hydrant, and even if he did, he would likely only suffer a minor bruise to his palm (from slapping at the glass with his eyes closed) and a bruised tailbone (I can't think of a witty way to say this, but the point is, Gortat would fall down in a rumpled heap after impact).

Amare handled his transition well as you point out. The reason I said, .... "Also he did not majorly dump on the Suns when he left." was because I wanted to cover all the bases. Usually a player at some point in time will make some comments that have a negative slant towards his former team even if it is unintended. No doubt a poor choice of words on my part when I was trying to give Amare a compliment. I still have good feelings towards Amare.

Amare always figures out a way to disappear in playoffs.

Just curious, if half of his hand was 'hanging off' how does he play the remainder of the playoffs? Perhaps an overstatement.

I gotta think there was some exaggeration by the teller. I would bet that fleshy part of your hand below the pinky was hanging off... and with hands as big as Amare's it might look like half a hand.

But if his palm is covered in stitches and there was a report he had to have a muscle repaired, I dont think he would play for at least 2-3 weeks.

Wont matter though. The Knicks will be only around for 2-3 more games.

Knicks were one and done from day 1 of the season. As expected... The worst "superteam" of them all.

Nuff said.

I can understand looking back on his time here with fondness, but I cant see how anyone would look at where Amare's career has gone and is going and think it would be a good thing to have him on the books for 65 million over the next 3 years.

His contract is probably the worst in the NBA right now and his decline has been shockingly rapid and only going to get worse.

Nice one Sactown!
