Of course you take him but the bigger question (and answer) is would he be interested in us? NO. He wants to start or get a lot of minutes. He probably could play a lot of minutes for Miami, but not here imo. He wants to cash in I think (with Miami or San Antonio he can also get minutes and win)...

No thank you
Blatche has not matured as a person or basketball player. Wizards fans in Washington DC could not be rid of him fast enough. Pass once a knick always a knick

Knicks need depth. I dont trust Amare to stay healthy for a full season and we have no real PF backup.
Blatche > Martin or Andersen when it comes to scoring. Kurt Thomas and Camby would be good for a 25 yr old Blatche. NY Knicks - Retirement home for players and GMs

Think champion. Andre Blatche is no champion.
Had enough Melo?

At age 25 is it fair to conclude that hell never being a winning player....like nate or jcrawford...
We wouldnt ask him to start...just play backup mins...id raher hv him play than kurt Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

The still young Andre Blatche was the starting PF on a young team with a lot of potential but he did not have enough character or common sense to keep his job. He is the guy that would be the jealous, locker room cancer at the end of the bench. Destroying the chemistry that this team sorely needs. He is no champion. I would rather Brian Cardinal. Miami has already won, maybe they feel they can handle any issues he might cause. I don't think we can be so confident. SAS, well, Pop can make Steven Jackson look like a saint. Perhaps he can do the same with Andre. That is another team already of championship pedigree that can afford to take the chance on Andre. Im sure Tim Duncan could babysit for a season. Finally, see below...
Had enough Melo?

Haha I can't believe Blatche had the nerve to ask Yi Jianlian if he can let him get the rebound to get the triple double in that video. Yi was so awesome for shaking his head no.
 Thanks, but no thanks on this bonehead. |

Andray Blatche is a young player with talent. He might be a bit of a knucklehead but it isn't like we'd be building the team around him. And Washington has a history of giving up on talented big men too soon and having them blossom somewhere else: Rasheed Wallace, Chris Webber, and Ben Wallace are all guys who fit that description.

I'm all for it. We can just waive him if he acts up. He has just as much of a chance in playing in NY than he does of getting time in Miami and San Antonio. Camby is older and we should rest him up as much as we can in preparation for the off season. Playing with professional like STAT and Kurt Thomas will benefit him as well. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

My guess is this guy wants to get playing time as he is playing for his next contract. I'd say he be kind of buried on the bench.
Im not sure who is in need at his positon and can give him a shot. Ooops, bad choice of word. Miami would be a good team as they need a back up to Bosh or he can compete to start. Champion? Eddy is a champion! |

IF you're gonna build around knuckleheads like JR Smith you might as well also sign Blatche

If you have what you feel is a mature championship caliber contender with strong willed guys---you would think its the perfect spot for a guy like Blatche---exactly why wouldnt we want a 6-11 260 guy who can get 16-8? or have the talent to get a triple double? Unless hes a serious drugie---at 25 its a no brainer RIP Crushalot😞

at that size, age and offensive ability id take a chance on him...its only for the vet mini...yeah he was immature but he was young and foolish...i think with the vets around the team and playing for a contract, hell be on his best behavior
