Neither am I but I still think the more attractive options I had involved him voluntarily retiring and him being forced to retire. Either one frees up a boat load of money.

Then, you know, maybe something should befall this "Speacial" plane which may cause it have a rapid decent in a manner condusive to a tragic circumstance and no survivors. Im thinking there is insurance for such a thing and you know, the league Im sure will allow for special exemptions to sign players. Im condoning this type of rapid decension but if you want to rebuild there are ways to speed up the process. The question is can Dolan black flag such a thing without Alex Smith and his minions of truth seekers tie it all togther. You know, that Dolan is in the Illuminati. Me, personally I think Dolan is too immature for such inclusion.

So in this scenario we have a core of

Dwight
Cp3
Melo

Im thinking Shump has to be on this plane so don't look too funny if you know what I mean?

So the rest I'll leave up to use and your forum buddies.

Short of that, Im thinking you got Amare and you just hope for the best that he can put a good season together. These guys talk but at the end of the day he knows if he is on a minute count or not and will decide whats best for him. You have to hope they are both good for each other.

Yeah yeah! They're going to play an exhibition game in South America, and their chartered plane crashes high in the Andes....

Too bad you don't have Eddy, he could have eaten everyone before they got rescued!

"eddy the canibal"! Think of the marketing! The lone surviver!

Yeah, this is terrible especially because the sarcastic element of it, I bombed with. And I actually like Amar'e. Scary to think of what I'd concoct if I didn't like the guy, lol.

Amare clearing isn't going to be content with coming off the bench moving forward and playing a reduced role based on what he's said in his exit interviews. This could be a big problem for us since we can no longer trust him to be a key to our success and can't readily trade him either. So what do we do?

Maybe we should give him exactly what he wants; a central role on the team. Make him play in every practice at full speed; start him and play him 48 minutes a game. You see where I'm going with this?

The guy is an injury waiting to happen unless we use kiddie gloves around him, by keeping him out of practices, not playing him in back to back's, etc for a reason. If we run him into the ground, which could probably happen in 2 weeks, could we force him out for an extended period of time? Maybe we could do this well enough during the season to force an injury exception out of it. $10 million-ish is alot of money to play with, for bringing in a player and/or players we want. Maybe we do this long enough and we force a career ending injury that permanently takes Amare's contract off the books. Maybe Amare decides to retire before this happens, I don't know. This alternative does get his money off the books, so do you guys think?

That's how the Knicks should treat a professional athlete? Do we then apply a similar strategy to all the players we no longer like or who produce less than the value of their contracts?

I am considering to nominate this for the stupidest post ever award.

In all honesty, it was suppose to read as a bit of dark humor but the humor aspect of it I bombed on. Either that or none of you guys have a sense of humor. I'll go with the later to spare my feelings.

See Nalod's post (^) for a primer on doing a dark humor topic.

Yes, this one bombed because it was presented without humor or obvious sarcasm.

I thought by throwing in a whole bunch of questions (e.g. "what do you guys think?" and "do you see where i'm going with this?" instead of just coming right out and saying it) after every "breadcrumb" that it would've registered. I guess in my head, I had intonations going on that didn't carry in the message. Anyway, I'm embarrassed now, lol.
