Philadelphia are slowly but surely getting better. It may not look it, but they are.
What they need at this moment in time is veterans. If the Love trade goes down. Thaddeus Young will be gone and that will leave only Jason Richardson as the lone veteran. To prepare for this. The Sixers are looking to trade for Amar’e Stoudemire according to ProBasketballTalk.
The deal would make sense for both sides from a financial perspective, but could ultimately depend on New York’s place in the standings at the time.
If Stoudemire is healthy and a contributing member of the rotation, and if the Knicks have a realistic shot at making the playoffs, New York will likely keep Stoudemire on the books for the remainder of the season.
If things have gone south by then, however, then this seems like something that could certainly take place.
Stoudemire has one of the worst contracts in the league but the Sixers have the cap room for such a dumb contract and the Knicks need as much cap room as they can get. If I was the Knicks I’d make sure this happens.
