That has nothing to do with your original point, though. Nash proved he could flourish w/out Stoudemire. On the other hand, let's see how Amare deals with Chris Duhon, or whoever is running the point for the Knicks, next year.
Imagine Lebron signing with New York, then trading Lee for Nash? Nash becomes the floor general that creates for both Amare and Lebron, and they are my favorites to win the East...and the title next year. ...and the West just a little bit easier
Babe Ruth once hit more home runs in a season than any AL team. Who cares? It DOES matter. It's entirely consistent with my original point, which was Amare (at his age) should be just fine without a top-notch PG, while Nash has to go with markedly inferior interior weapons now. Whether Nash did it without Dirk or without Amare is of less significance than that he's now 36 years old and won't have a stud PF to rely on. And Duhon is now with the Magic. Just FYI. Ed O.
If Lebron signs in NY, and they do indeed move Lee to GS for Randolph, that would be a mighty nice front court
