The Knicks made the first big splash in the free agent market this summer, reached an agreement on Amare Stoudemire to a five-year contract $ 99,700,000. Note that with plenty of room to play with the PAC, the Knicks are probably not done wheeling and dealing this offseason, and much can change between now and the start of the season. As with all big names, there are many implications to consider fantasy, so let's take a look at how the agreement covers both the Knicks and Suns.

I say "almost" because he was preoccupied with the question of the current state of the Knicks guard. Toney Douglas and Chris Duhon are not exactly Steve Nash. Amare Stoudemire, C / PF - must admit that, as owner of Stoudemire on one of my keeper leagues, I was so excited to let Steve Nash and the Suns this summer. So if all this could be a sign down slightly to love, but not much, now that he has met with Mike D'Antoni in New York. It's easy luxury trade situation with the Suns for the Knicks to another, making it almost a wash for their fantastic value. But if love was standing, fantasy owners could not have picked a better position to land him in New York.

David Lee, PF / C - New Love signature almost guarantees that David Lee, an unrestricted free agent, will not be back in New York, which may be bad news for his fantasy prospects. Except for certain destinations (Golden State, Phoenix), Lee will be difficult to find a system that can put up 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds in 2009-10 as it did for the Knicks. The same can be said that if he is with the Knicks. Stoudemire played with SAP is a big part of his fantasy value, even if there was a continued double-double threat on any given night. I think 15/10 is a reasonable expectation, which is still very beautiful, but a sharp drop in production anyway.
