See, everyone says Amar'e is a "shell of his former self" but really, all Amar'e lost was the one thing he's good at.
His rebounding percentage, assist percentage, block percentage, steal percentage are right around his career averages. His 104 offensive rating and 101 defensive rating match up with the team's overall numbers, so he's not really a positive or negative force for the team.
The only thing that he's dropped in is TS%, which was really his greatest attribute (being one of the most efficient scorers in the league).
I don't buy for a second that New York has a better team.
