Stoudemire a Knick…can he lure another free agent?

The New York Knicks and Amare Stoudemire have supposedly agreed to a five year deal worth somewhere around $100 million.

Stoudemire is a five time all-star and is revered as an explosive low post scorer.  By signing him, the Knicks have a little more leverage to get guys such as LeBron James or Dwyane Wade.

Kerr out in Phoenix…Back to Chicago to replace Paxson?

Steve Kerr is no longer the general manager of the Phoenix Suns.  He is going to do what most players turn coach or general manager do, commentate games.

What if, he only did this for a year and decided he wanted an office job in the NBA once again?  Honestly,  he won’t jump back into it in the 2010-2011 season, because most guys like a break, but maybe he would want to come back the following year.  This  happens all the time in every sport.

The Chicago Bulls are finally back in the playoff tree,  well for now.  The Bulls bone stomped the Toronto Raptors 104-88 to steal the eighth and final spot in the playoffs from the Raptors.

This is great.  the bad part is, the Bulls now have to rely on the Raptors to lose their last two games against the bad Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks.  The Raptors are not a good team, but it is going to be hard for them to lose both of these games even if their star, Chris Bosh, isn’t in the lineup.
