Dwight Howard has shot about 40 free throws tonight (a new NBA Record). How does goes Golden State still have 5 players on the floor?

Golden State must be fouling him on the shoulders; refs only count that as half of a foul because they feel bad for your hand.

What do people think about a Dwight Howard for Amar’e Stoudemire trade? Ken Berger has an intersting take on what may happen if the Knicks continue to struggle.

If the Knicks keep struggling, the focus will spread from the coaching to the roster, and sources advise not to be surprised if the notion of a possible deal sending Amar’e Stoudemire to Orlando for Howard gains traction. If the Magic opt to convert Howard into a superstar of reasonably comparable stature, they could do a lot worse than selling Stoudemire — a central Florida native — to their restless fan base. The biggest issue would be Stoudemire’s uninsurable knees, but there is risk involved in every scenario Orlando will be presented with between now and March 15. From the Knicks’ standpoint, such an arrangement would break up the ill-fitting offensive combo of Stoudemire and Anthony and allow the versatile Chandler to move to the power forward spot, where he’d be a terror as a weak-side shot blocker and in Stoudemire’s spot as the roll man in D’Antoni’s pick-and-roll offense. A deeper question exists in whether Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan would sign off on trading Stoudemire, who was the only star willing to commit to the Knicks and embrace the challenges of New York in July 2010. For the aforementioned reasons, sources say it’s plausible but unlikely that the Knicks and Orlando would be able to get any such talks off the ground. For one thing, it makes too much sense.

Dwight for Amar’e would make the Knicks better. Their defense has been a serious issue in their slow start, as Howard Beck noted recently in the New York Times. Howard would change all that, and allow Chandler to play power forward. This way, ‘Melo would be unquestionably the offensive focal point (which he’s more than capable of handling), but with Tyson and Dwight down low, the Knicks wouldn’t have to worry about easy points in the paint.

Amar’e is much beloved in Knicks land, and rightfully so, since he was the only free agent we landed in 2010, but his knees are so scary, every fan must wake up like I do: immediately check how he did (AND whether he’s still playing). He’s already taken some time off this season, and that’s not likely to change much as the Knicks have to play their way out of a slight hole they’ve dug to start the season. Amar’e will continue to play big minutes. D’Antoni is fighting for his job at this point—and has no qualms over-playing all of his big three.

I’d love to see Dwight in New York—where he could be a second-fiddle offensive presence to compliment ‘Melo, but also the true defensive presence the Knicks would need to stop getting scored on. Tyson and Dwight down low would also match-up well with any front court in the league. Doesn’t change our guard woes, but Baron will come back and, hopefully, he’ll be ready to play (if he’s avoiding the fine dining in Manhattan).

I support this deal, even though it’s unlikely to happen. I love Amar’e and even wrote a long piece about why he was the first half MVP in 2010 before he broke down, but maybe it’s time for him to head back to Florida. If that sounds cutthroat, it’s supposed to. I want to win, and the Knicks aren’t winning and dealing him might change that.

New York has turned me into an overreactor when it comes to our basketball team.
