The first major NBA free agent domino has fallen

Amar'e Stoudemire is signing with the New York Knicks. His agent has confirmed it, Amar'e has confirmed it by talking to the media and even the Knicks have confirmed it, putting a picture of Amar'e in a Knicks jersey on the Madison Square Garden marquee.

Of course, it isn't yet on MSG's website or on the Knicks' website because free agents aren't technically allowed to sign until Thursday.

Anyway, this is a good signing for the Knicks so long as they can find a point guard who can push the ball. And the best one out there is, um, well, Luke Ridnour. They better hope LeBron comes or Amar'e's promises of Tony Parker come to fruition or this has disaster written all over it.

(And, no, I don't consider Joe Johnson staying in Atlanta to be "major.")
