As to the recent new thread that Amare is not going anywhere . . . you gave good reasons and in my head I know it's correct.
But as hard as it may be to believe, there are teams that make dumb moves like we've made sometimes. Really this is true.
On the internet, there are tons of questionable products (like some claiming to enlarge certain organs) because people really buy the stuff. I can't deny your sound logic, but you can't deny the reality that there are people who will still make dumb moves. Also, don't ever believe for a second that the Knicks will not make more dumb moves (hope not, but it will happen again at some point). So there are people who will say (regarding the product above) -- how come it will enlarge certain parts and not my hand, there will be many that say, "Man oh man, I'm gonna order that stuff -- bet that's why I haven't been getting as much as JR Smith"
