2 out of 3 is very unlikely, and if his health fails him then thats all 3.

For a stretch of game? He probably could. But no way he averages those numbers at this point. That ship has sunk.

Amare wont be able to put up those kind of numbers without good health, similar minutes per game like the ones who actually are doing it, and being featured in the offense.

2 out of 3 is very unlikely, and if his health fails him then thats all 3.

For a stretch of game? He probably could. But no way he averages those numbers at this point. That ship has sunk.

Well we'll get to see if he can avg 17/7 if his minutes are managed. He may end up playing about 28-32 mpg with some days off. I don't think it's impossible for him to be effective if given a chance to play solid minutes but get breaks during the season. He closed the season strong and pretty much his per minute production hasn't changed much. The only issue is not grinding him down by overusing him.

Fisher basically said he wants to have Amare available for every game, and seems to be legitamtely concerned with amare's health, so no, it's not likely to see any combination of those minutes or numbers.

I do see where you're getting the 17 and 7 from, but it's a massive stretch to even think 14 or so games can become an entire season at this juncture with Amare.

I wouldn't say it's a stretch. STAT's per 36 min production was 19/8. His career per 36 is 22/9. That gives u an idea of just how productive he still is.

That is of course if Amare could PLAY 36 minutes on average. Those days are pretty much a thing of the past, thus making it a stretch.

I agree for stretches he probably could get those numbers, but that isnt what you're selling.
