How the Miami Heat Will Use Amar’e Stoudemire

Flash back to the summer of 2010, when Amar’e Stoudemire could have been the third member of the Miami Heat’s newly formed Big Three.

Many fans and pundits believe that he was the better fit–over Chris Bosh–to play with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, and with good reason.

He had just come off a season where he played in all 82 games for the Phoenix Suns, averaging 23 points and nine rebounds per game, and was looking like the star most people expected him to be.

Bosh signed in Miami. Stoudemire signed a $100 million contract with the New York Knicks, then everything went downhill for him from there.
