Too bad that if he does play, he'll probably only play 12-15 minutes at most.The funny thing afterwards is going to be hearing the media start analyzing his return to death. If he plays well, they'll start jumping on the "PHX will win the title" bandwagon, and if he plays poorly they'll start bagging on him and say he needs to sit out the rest of the year, blah blah.
This will be interesting though I think it is a mistake for Amare to return this year. He is still very young and there is no reason to risk his career over this.
Suns are strong without him. This season should be an experiment, see what they can do in the post season with Amare not there. Its not like their gonna loose Marion or Nash this offseason. So it would have been worth a shot to play without him in the playoffs and see what they could do. And just put him back next season
It will be interesting to see what he can do. also, like mavsfan said, you cant risk and rush these kinds of things. If he messes up his knee by coming back soon, there goes his career.
I hope his situation doesn't be like Chris Webbers was a few years ago when Sacramento was doing real good and Peja was named a MVP Candidate until Webber came back. They didn't do a terrible job when he returned but it just wasn't the same team work.
