Stoudamire Hopes to Reverse Knicks Online Wager Fortunes. The New York Knicks have made the first big splash in the NBA betting free agent signing bonanza and hope that by signing coveted free agent Amare Stoudamire they can reverse their awful fortunes in the NBA online wager action.
Stoudamire was one of the top four free agents coveted in this unprecedented NBA free agency period and there is no doubt that he’ll have a positive impact on whatever NBA online wagering team he lands on. He’s been an all-star on multiple occasions and consistently ranks among the best power forwards in the NBA online action. Stoudamire is tremendous athlete, a big man that gets up and down the court, and statistically one of the best forwards in the NBA online wagering action.
But it you’re a New York Knicks fan or simply were hoping to place an NBA online wager on New York in the upcoming season you can’t help be feel a little disappointed.
Sure, Stoudamire is coming off a terrific season (23.1 ppg, 8.9 rpg in the 2010 online wager action) and during his career he’s averaged 21.4 ppg and 8.9 rpg. Those are near hall of fame time numbers but they don’t necessarily translate to more Knicks wins in the online wager competition.
In fact, many online wagering experts would argue that Stoudamire is simply a product of playing with online wager superstar PG Steve Nash. Stoudamire is not likely to find so many easy baskets playing with Nash and NBA betting fans are likely to see his scoring numbers drop off playing alongside the likes of Chris Duhon.
And by agreeing to terms with Stoudamire on a $100 million deal the Knicks have burnt up much of the cap room they were saving for a player like LeBron James or Dwyane Wade. But neither of those players seems likely to sign with New York now and the lone addition of Stoudamire hardly equates to more victories in the upcoming NBA online wager action.
In fact, it would be surprising if the Knicks win more than 40 games in the upcoming NBA betting action if they don’t sign at least another big name free agent at key position like PG. For all the anticipation and hype in New York about the upcoming free agent season of 2010, if Stoudamire is the only big name the team nabs, it will be a disappointment.
