What Amar'e must bring next season to the ball games

The three ball. He would be deadly and this addition would maximize the potential of Coach Mike's offense. Think of Amar'e with a shot of Dirk. He would be like the Dirk of the Eastern Conference, easily able to drop the trey, dunk on a fool mother, and also grab some boards, about as many as Dirk does (and we would forgive this unfortunate rebounding fact if he were to expand his game with a dirty killer of a three bucket).

I remember, the beginning of Coach Mike D'Antoni's first season with the Knicks, Zach Randolph came out shooting the three bucket and the team got off to a blazing start. Randolph hit 7 treys for the Knicks and 25 for the Clippers after the trade, shooting in the low 300s for percentage. Surely Amar'e can do this and even do it better. 

Often, as a player ages, it is good to expand to the open range bucket dropping, a skill which can spread the hardwoods and provide efficient scoring when the legs get tired of slamming the dunks. This is the most opportune moment for Amar'e to develop a long range trey expertise. With the lockout still hanging over the heads of the basketball universe like a bad cloud with much rain to drop from it, Amar'e should be doing little else than dropping the long balls.
