Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1080425, member: 1674"] For what it will take to get a team to take Amare, New York might as well just hold onto him and let him expire next year. Even if they trade Amare away, they'd still need to move Bargnani as well in order to really have a chance of signing a significant player to play alongside Melo this off-season. Hypothetically speaking, if they trade Amare & Shumpert and don't take any salary back, and then re-sign Carmelo for $20 million or so a year, they'll still only have like $4 million to work with to sign another guy. It would take a miracle for New York to get another superstar to New York this offseason. [/QUOTE]
