    One question to some old timers:

    Did Morey really try to trade for Carmelo and Amare at one time?

    If yes, you think Morey really knows how to judge talent and character to build a winner or just likes to chase the big names at every opportunity?

    Thank God he failed to bring in those 2 BTW.

    Right, signing the 9th PF is an innovative idea....

    WORST IDEA EVER. His knees are totally shot - he had NO elevation - no mobility - the biggest liability on defense - AND one of the worst contracts in the NBA (uninsured).

    How in the world would he ever fit into this offense? I acknowledge that Lin needs a big to PnR w/ but STAT would be a bad investment.

    People are upset because you clutter the GARM with bad threads. We have a thread for rly bad trade ideas. use it. I don't see one person who thinks this trade is reasonable other than you.

    he almost traded for amare, but it would have been without a physical so morey declined.

    I think most of us understand that Stoudamire is an over the hill, un-insurable nightmare of a contract that will be a yoke around the Knicks neck for years to come. I personally would not want him on the roster if he came for free.

    Amare looks like he's 45 years old running up and down the court, no way I want that guy.

    Just take your lumps and move on dude . . . .

    at least were not ignoring you. Here is how it typically goes in this order

    1. you join
    2. you're a noob
    3. you get nads to start a new thread and it sucks ass
    4. you get piled on
    5. you get pissed/hurt feelings
    6. you get over your hurt
    7. you probably repeat steps 3-6 (5) more times
    8. you figure it out and don't post new thread until it's legit.
    9. you begin enjoying clutchfans
    10. You start piling on noobs for posting stupid ass threads.

    You may be OK if you think about a proposed thread for a couple of hours, look at it from all possible angles, and ditch the rose colored glasses. Sometimes less is more. You actually could be good kid, but only if you restrain that trigger finger.

    Thank God. But did Morey really think he could build around Amare? What a mistake it could have been!
