While any new deals in the NBA cannot be officially announced until July 8, the Knicks are wasting little time making public their five-year, $100 million deal with free agent Amar'e Stoudemire.
Already, he is appearing on the marquee of Madison Square Garden, in a Knicks' uniform, no less -- via Howard Beck's Twitter -- a move that the PR department is quickly claiming was just to welcome him to New York for Monday's meeting with the team.
Then Stoudemire put on a Knicks hat and exclaimed, "The Knicks are back." Really.
How this is legal per NBA rules I'm not sure, but it leaves little doubt about where Stoudemire is signing this offseason.

Because one can announce signings but not make it official till then.

go knicks
good move Knicks now if i was u guys ill just let the rest of the pieces fall where ever the fall.if bron stay in cleveland and wade go home 2 chi town or stay with the heat i wouldnt care as long as they not playin together ill be good.that will give the knicks a chance to build a good team that can do some real damage in the east cause if them guys stay where they at ,it should be easy 4 the knicks to build a team that can beat both cavs and heat cause they will have the cap space to do so.if i was the ill get more expiren contracts or resighn al harrington 4 one more year as well as tmac and ill try to get toney parker or nash ,i heard all of a sudden he is on the block now lol ill just get a pure p.g. and if malo dont sighn with the nuggets ill make a run 4 him.even if he do theres still other options next season to get more guys,what do u guys think?
