Knicks Buyout Amare

Almost 5 years ago, Amare Stoudemire was the only big name willing to sign with the Knicks.   Unforturnately, his knees were ticking bombs and after his first great season, he was more or less a shadow of what he had been -- and never seemed to blend with Carmelo or the other names that were brought in to play with them.  Tonight, according to the Post, the Knicks have reached a buyout agreement with #1, so he can go chase a title with one of the contenders.  They owed him that much.  He lead them back to respectability in `10-`11, and Knick fans shouldn't forget it.

In the meantime, the Knicks have another roster spot to fill.
