Woodson talks Stoudemire
Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 with 23 comments
When asked yesterday at shootaround if Amar'e Stoudemire would be a starter once he returns from injury, Knicks head coach Mike Woodson gave the following answer.
“I’m going to address that when we get to that point,” he said. “Right now, I’m just taking it a day at a time and work [with] the guys we have in uniform....Our doctors make that decision,’’ Woodson said on whether he travels. “He’s continuing therapy. When the time comes he’ll let us know when he’s ready.’’
With the role that the Knicks have on lately with Carmelo Anthony primarily at the 4, Stoudemire would serve the Knicks better on their second unit alongside of J.R. Smith among others. Despite being paid $100 by Knicks to be "the guy" before the Carmelo Anthony trade, he may now become the most expensive bench player in the history of the NBA.

Trade his ass
ReplyDeleteThat too but if it works the knicks will have a second unit that might b better than a couple of teams starting 5.
DeleteYou stupid^^^ the Knicks could have the most dominant second unit if he puts his pride to the side and comes off the bench fuk if its not his style. Do whats best for the team and win a ship
DeleteI just said that bitch. How am i stupid?
DeleteLol
DeleteI was speaking to ur dumbass preach. I was talkin about the other dumbass above you lol
DeleteStat ent no bench player. I don't know why everyone is hating on him he's one of the best pf's is the league. It's just cuz him a melo haven't mixed right. He was doin fine befor the melo trade it was stat city.
ReplyDeleteStat should join charlotte soon to be hornets on the rise where he would be appreciated a be the star he is
ReplyDeleteWe know wat stat can do, he know wat he can do so i dont c why he would have a problem coming off the bench on a good team. He got nothin else to prove besides staying healthy and winning a ring. He can back up the 4 and 5 and still get enough mins to get his 20 and 6. And i keep saying they need to start sheed even if he is only playin 15-20 mins a nite cause when shump comes back u have no need to start kidd or brewer. They can come off the bench with jr. and amare, run alot of pick and roll and easily b the best bench n the league.
ReplyDeleteWish we could trade amare. He plays no defense. I wouldn't mind haven Josh Smith.
ReplyDeleteAtl wont take amare, i dont see amare being effective even off the bench. Put a fork on him,
ReplyDeleteJay-
The proper expression is put a fork in him....put a fork on him just sounds gay...u just lost ur right to post on this app because of ur ignorance torwards a very common expression.... I don't wanna see josh d or Jay- any longer on this app......ur dismissed
DeleteThat last comment was funny as Hell!
ReplyDeleteThe knoicks areñt gonna get close to even the playoffs. they're already 3-9 this year
ReplyDeleteI can see ur not a local so I'm going to excuse u
Deletehow u expect to bench amare? and keep melo at the 4? u know how stupid yah really sound?...dident u see when he was garding ZBO? and what when he needs to gaurd blake...or love..or ibaka thats going to be n un even mach up.... so u xant bench amare...
ReplyDeleteThats why i say start sheed if amare and melo cant play together
DeleteMelo Dnt play d neway so whoever he guard gonna fetch theirs regardless so I much rather him guard ibaka than kd anyday... but I like the comment bout amare going to charlotte lol But he's stuck in ny no team in their right mind will take on that contract with his knee n all his other problems N.Y. buried themselves wit that one
Deletepreach. might be right cause sheed does way more d. then amare
ReplyDeleteI hope melo do put up a mvp type season and the knicks do well cause i just think its crazy how melo gets no credit. People talk like hes a complete liability on d, a ball hog, every negative thing u want a superstar to be just because hes been linked to lebron since h.s. Its like people try to make him out to b the exact opposite instead of accepting him for the player he is. People said the same shit about m.j. and kobe but them niggas won multiple rings. Its just about being n the right situation.
ReplyDeleteKobe n mj r defensive monsters though...it doesn't have anything to do with him being linked to LeBron it's just his history of being a lackadaisical defender. U cant name a superstar player ever that hasn't been able to affect the game on the other end of the floor n that's what separates the stars from the superstars and how many shots he puts up really doesn't matter as well my only bbeef as far as that goes is the history hehas of not making the players around him better rather it be making the game easier for them or just demanding more which is another thing u see from superstar players like mj Kobe LeBron etc..and I say history bc I'm not including this yr because he seems to be coming around ..but melo has been blessesd with some good decent teams with some good players in the past and went nowhere hopefully this year is different cus I wanna see dude in the finals
DeleteSteve nash won plenty of games n phoenix and he never was a good defender, thats just 1 player off he top. And dirk finally got him 1 after years because cuban finally got the pieces right and it was just the right situation that year and dirk not a good defender either. True, melo played on a couple good teams n denver but we all know kobe and timmy d been running the west for the majority of this last decade. Like i said b4 alot of guys came up ringless n the west just because they couldnt beat those 2 guys n the wfc. the east was shit just a couple years ago b4 all the superstars started comin out east because of the lakers and spurs so i dont hold that against melo. And maybe it dont have nothing to do with the link he has to lebron but i cant think of no other reason why melo gets a bad rap. When 2 players that talented come n the same draft u know they gonna b compared the rest of there careers. People look at lbj's all around game and say why cant melo play like that? Because hes not that kind of player. If melo ever does make it to the finals he wont b the guy runnin from the ball n the 4th...because hes not that kind of player.
Deletepreach beoo you spoke the truth guy... thatsb soo true. people just talk about lebron..but lebron aint a god on defence hes just does put a little more effort then melobdoes..but melo is more of a explosive player then lbj is
