It don't matter and I've tried long ago to not "connect the dots" on AmareSpeak. He is always "Back", always "working hard" and "Always getting stronger"! I do like his enthusiastic approach. I don't see his game in the triangle because he has not shown to be a good passer. He is talented and no reason why he can't be. He has 23 million due him next season. If he is here I'd love for him to beast in the triangle. In fact, I'd like to see him be with the team healthy and long term. Them Pay days are over though, this is a 6 million dollar man now with is injury history. If that is not to his liking I hope some other team has it for him.

Funny stuff, he was going on about how great the first season here was and it really ended with the threat, and eventual trade that bought in Melo. Not that it was melo himself, but the dilution of depth and his back gave out.

Enjoy.....

I keep hering that he's not a good fit for the triangle that requires a big that can hit mid range shots from the elbow..

I now see why Phil call the amare, tyson and melo pairing clumsy. phil is a system guy that and feels that basketball should should be played methodically, and its quite different from MDA's thinking. melo doesnt pass, and tyson can't shoot a jumper consistantly so it's easy to see that under MDA's system, that just deosnt seem possible with those three.

But amare is a hard worker and always trying to get better, so I dont see why he can't be taught how to flow in a triangle

It's more about people thinking Amar'e is not a willing passer, like Nalod said. I will say that when Phil made those comments Amar'e hadn't shown the skills he now has in the low post and Melo was not known as an elite 3pt shooter. Those two things make the pairing less clumsy. Really Horace Grant & Bill Cartwright were in the triangle too. That's the best case for Amar'e and Tyson in the triangle.

Back to Amareisms: Phenomenal is used a little to much.

Then you have this:

when I came here to help the Knicks win. That's why I don't want to leave. I want to be here for the long haul and do whatever it takes to win, so whatever sacrifices I have to make, I will be willing to make them.
