    Interesting.  I completely agree with Amare heading that list up.  Stoudemire is used to being A PIECE, as opposed to THE PIECE.  Being the focal point of opposing teams and their defensive schemes is not going to make for a successful season for the "Man-child".  He was what he was in Phoenix, in large part, because of their system and especially because of Nash and their pick-and-rolls.  Being THE PIECE and being away from the "Fountain of Youth" that the Phoenix organization seemingly has possession of, will SIGNIFICANTLY increase his chances of an injury (or re-injury).  I foresee rumors of NY's own "Big 3" being rekindled should public opinion begin to sway..that is, until Mello extends in Denver.

    I disagree with Boozer and Bosh though.  Boozer is in Chicago to do only what Boozer does best, nothing more and nothing less.  The Bulls desperately needed that type of presence and now they have it.  They will be very formidable in the East with all of their offseason improvements.  Bosh was said to be the third option in the new-look Miami offense in that article, and for that reason, he made the list.  With basketball being and inside-out game offensively, and neither Wade or LeBinky having the consistent back-to-the-basket, high percentage game that Bosh does, how and why would he be a THIRD option?  Should be the first.  Always look inside first.  He is also the best shooter of the three as well.  I just don't see the reasoning for Bosh being on that list.  I would have put James on that list before Bosh, if for no other reason, the inflated expectation level.

    Interesting that Outlaw made it as well, but unfortunately, equally understandable when looking at his contract.

    Otto Porter, the next Kevin Durant? No. But Unholy, I feel like we would not be that much better in the paint. Blair is much shorter than JJ.

    joint option for year three at like 8 million. Then if he works out you got him for a bargain for 2-3 years and if not it costs only 1.2 million for next year.

    Rookies are fine a team should be able to carry 5 of them easily. The problem with us last year was we had no depth in front of the rookies. Lillard and Leonard as lottery picks should have gotten lots of playing time, which they did. However, Bar...
