Why Woodson is a terrible move

Hiring Woodson to the staff, as if he is some savior to rescue the inept and stupid Mike D'Antoni, is a terrible move. The guy enjoyed a handful of marginally successful campaigns (he had one 50+ win season) with the Hawks and his accomplishments and abilities pale in the comparatively gargantuan shadow of Coach Mike D'Antoni.

I will always tell you of, and paraphrase poorly, Coach Mike D'Antoni's words about what constitutes a good defense; "when you score more points than the other team, you have played good defense". And even if this were not the most true thing in the universe, Mike Woodson is not the answer.

To forcibly interject a bum coach like Woodson is comical and insulting. I fear the plan is to allow D'Antoni to expire his contract and promote Woodson to head coach. Then this team would be perfect and very right for each other, the franchise with its fetishism for disorganized 8th seed basketball will have succeeded in bringing another potentially good thing down.

If I'm a locked out baller, I'm coming back with a free-throw

If I'm an NBA baller right now, locked out and out of work, I'm adding skills to my game. I'm using the extra time to improve technical skills like free-throw shooting or to acquire a deadly raw balls lethal trey bucket (Amar'e you need to do this).

They had their summers for rest, if we assume that most rest and do not add dope killer skills every year, and now, because they are free from the taxing grind of the regular season, the players can study hard and add a new dimension to their game.

What a boon for the league this would be if even a small percentage of NBA ballers wisely took this time to expand their baller sets. Alas, it is not to be, for most will go and eat the cheeseburgers like Eddy Curry (who is apparently healthy man today), or maybe just going to the beaches to hang out with honeys.

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.
