How likely/unlikely is a trade like Amare for EG?
It eats up all of our cap space but gets rid of a 2 year massive contract for a one year massive-er contract
Could we buy out Amare like we did with Rasheed Lewis? Is that the thinking?

I saw an article this morning that Amare is considering playing for some Israeli team he's part owner of once his contract is up. I'm not sure whether that makes him more or less open to a buyout.
I think the biggest obstacle to any NY trade is are they willing to risk Gordon opting in and eating cap space in 2015 when they'll only have about $12 million on the books, possibly less since these are the players I keep hearing mentioned in trades from NY's end, Felton, JR Smith and Shumpert. Especially with Phil Jackson on board now, aiming for a book clearing Miami style Big 3 seems to be the quickest way to rebuild even if Melo stays. We really may have to Stretch Provision Gordon.

I think A'mare could be a solid OTB scorer in the approx. 50 games he plays next year, like he was for the Knicks this year. He'd get that $$ of the books quicker and I think his average marginal benefit is somewhat comparable (although slightly less) than Gordons to the Pelicans for next year. He'd obviously be a short-term player and highly undependable (high risk, high return guy), but barring injuryapocalypse like this season I think the Pels could withstand it. I wouldn't hate A'mare, just wouldn't bank on him saving us or killing us. Anything that gets Eric "Cancer" Gordon out of NOLA is alright in my book...
