They're getting slightly younger without Rasheed/Camby with these two lol.

Veteran players always will bring the experience. Remember Dallas 2011 championship team. They had a couple of veterans who leaded this team to the championship triumph. My point is: do not underestimate the presence of veteran skilled players in one team. That’s way a named the trade of PP and KG a horrible mistake and I am 100% that the reality will prove that
Difference was the Dallas veteran players were good still. (Terry, Marion, Dirk, etc)

You know the Knicks are trying their darnest to get rid of Amare..good luck with that

Makes me think we are good trading partners with them... I'd gladly work with them on a deal centered around Amare and Gerald Wallace to shave a year off of Wallace's contract.
To match salaries, the Cs would have to include someone else in the trade, like Humphries. I honestly don't think it would be worth it, unless the Knicks included an  unprotected first rounder or something like that. Amare is done, and has a huge contract that will make trades very difficult. I imagine that Wallace will be better this year, and Humphries has a very tradeable contract.
Amare & Prigioni

for

Wallace, Bass, & Lee

NY gets 3 solid bench players and saves a bunch of money especially with tax implications and savings.  Boston gets out from Lee and Wallace a year earlier, picks up a decent asset in Prigioni, and you never know maybe Amare actually stays healthy and produces (and I think if he was healthy he would be great with Rondo).

Edited for Prigioni instead of Novak.

Yeah I meant Prigioni (the guy they re-signed).  I just couldn't remember who it was and Novak was the guy that was on the roster I was looking at so I put his name down.
