The New York Knicks expect to get their 100 million dollar man back Saturday, Coach Mike Woodson announced. Amar’e Stoudemire is set to return from his second knee surgery of the season. Woodson said Stoudemire would have his minutes monitored in his first game back.

“It won’t be very many minutes. I’m thinking somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes, if that. We have talked about [managing expectations]…I thought maybe we might have pushed a little too much early on, so we’ve got to be really cautious this time around — just to make sure that we’re doing the right things with him… it’s not that we didn’t think that when he came back the first time, but this time, we really have got to be cautious. He understands; he has no choice.”

It was a bad call by the ref in the first place

Can the Knicks get Chris Paul? Technically, Yes.

You down with O.P.P.?

Other people’s players?

Yea, you are.

 

So that is why—despite the Knicks turning in their best season since 1996 and grabbing their first Atlantic Division title since 1994—Knicks fans are quietly reliving their elementary school math classes. Adding two and two together, subtracting a long-term extension and calculating whether (and how) the Knicks can some way end up with Chris Paul.

The short answer is yes, it is possible, though highly improbable.

How improbable?

Paul would likely have to be willing to accept less than the $18.7 million max. salary he could earn under the first year of his new deal. The Knicks would have to give up several players they would probably rather keep, and the Clippers would probably have to agree to a trade that may not suit them.

Maybe all of the above.

I’m really happy, but for me it’s only about the team. It’s not about one guy or two guys. You can’t believe how happy I am now. I’m really happy with this team. We played good, and for me the most important thing always is the team… [The alley-oop to Chandler] maybe was the key moment. We started to play good on offense. We get stops, we run and everything started to be on our side… I love [getting a chance to finish the game]. I love to be on the court in the important moments because I used to do this in the last 10, 15 years. But I understand here, I have great players on the team, great teammates, so much experience in the NBA playoffs, so I try to give all my energy in the minutes that the coach thinks I must be on the court. When I’m on the bench, I try to support the guys and I have nothing to complain about that. Today, I have the chance to play that important minutes, I’m really happy. Maybe the next game, no. But I’m ready to play one minute or 25 minutes.
