E-Rob!

He was great his first season. He was clearly responsible for the Knicks 26 game turnaround. Problem was everyone knew he was an injury waiting to happen. That's why his contract wasn't insured.

(honorable mention for Boozer way down the list)

... According to this method of comparing actual five-year WAR to expected WAR from salary, Stoudemire’s signing ranks as the worst offseason acquisition3 since the summer of 1996, when Basketball Reference’s transactions begin to be relatively complete. Here are the particulars of his badness, along with the next 29 worst offseason prizes of the same span:

Geez LTG's main purpose on this board is fucking with NAS.

He'd be great if his arguments were better.

Every has a purpose.

I just posted the turnaround he said the Knicks made in Marshmelo's first year with the Knicks. Unfortunately he wasn't aware of it.

Don't know where it was supposed to be either way it wasn't 26 games maybe you're using voodoo math 13 more wins 13 fewer losses. If you are then Denver had a 52 game improvement during his 1st yr. Yet it is still interesting that in all the Melo failings in New York the role of Amare was never mentioned til now. Two days worth of back and forth no mention. Even now DT starts a thread no mention. I will let it roll because the mere silence simply validates my point.

Your post is in this thread. We've discussed Amare before. You can use the search function. You're all over the place.

Don't know where you were bashing Amare but I'm sure you'll simply practice some more voodoo.

I actually wish theirs was better. This is really too easy. They have been on the bashing Melo bandwagon for a long time. This is further evidence that what I have been saying has actual legs yet rather than address the point it becomes about the poster and not the post. Standard ad hominem stuff that is why the stated comments lack credibility. Very few of you if any have ever brought Amare ' s role in this. In terms of Nas just pointed out another fabrication of his because no one else was going to do it. This is an old boys club here.

Why shit on Amare for this many years straight? We already shit on him four years ago. There is no one left that thinks he is rated, let alone overrated.

It is Carmelo Anthony's turn to be shit on. People still think he is a positive influence on a team.

Back when the whole fing ball stuff started I don't remember you railing against Amare. You may have I don't remember it. I certainly don't recall you ever saying that Amare ' s 20 million dollar contract was the primary reason the Knicks were losing. The 20 million dollar salary had far more to do with the Knicks not winning than Carmelo's ball hogging. Now that someone has labeled him the worst signing ever and it appears that you are engaging in a bit of revisionism which I'm finding to be a board staple. When I pointed out Amares failures it was called excuse making where were u? When I pointed out how is contract was killing the team where were u?

Carmelo Anthony is a great signing if you want your franchise to be stuck in a period of supreme mediocrity. No chance for an NBA title. You might make the playoffs, but your chances of advancing past the first round are slim. You'll probably miss the playoffs, premier free agents won't want to join you, and you will tarnish the legacy of one of the game's greatest minds.
