Just read that.

Looks like no one from Miami, other than Wade is on the radar for the Suns, so Miami would have to go the 3 team route in order to get something done.

I can see Philly pulling the trigger, but I doubt Amare wants to play in Philly on that horrible team, so I could see him opting out at the end of the season.

I still would love to see Cleveland pull the trigger on this one, hell take on JRich if that's what is needed.

I think what you may see is him get traded to Philly...opt out...then sign with Miami in the off-season


Cavs fans...hontestly...if you were the Suns....which deal would you take

Z
JJ Hickson
for
A'mare

AI2
for
A'mare

Depends what the Suns are looking for, Cap Relief or talent.

The Cavs offer a good young big man, and instant cap relief, who also seem willing to take on another large contract in JRich, which would let suns clear some of the long term money they have.

The Sixers basically just offer some talent, no cap relief.

I still see them taking the Cavs, as Sarver(suns owner) is all about saving money. Hell, how many draft picks has he sold off in the first round?

Considering the Suns have always been high on Hickson?

no
brainer

Wow....

We get HR's well thoughtout response....

Then we get that

Jesus


ytown...did you read that article?? Suns first choice is AI2

Do you actually believe half the crap going into the final week of the trade deadline?

No chance they're trying to steer negotiations or anything...right?

I try not to be as gullible and base things on old news when it comes to this week.

Im not sure why Miami would be his first choice, they arent even a top 5 team in the East. Im not even sure why Dwade would stick around after this season, they have been below .500 for 3 or 4 weeks now and will be fighting to even make the playoffs.

Amare lives in Miami.

Gibby is a douche and a hater.

haha Dwight Howard better than LeBron? Dwight is the best center the nba has seen since Shaq's younger days, but he is nowhere near the level LeBron is at right now. IMO the closest to him now is Wade, and even that isn't really that close.

This thread has turned kinda retarded.

Anyhow, I really don't know how I feel about getting Amare.....if it happens.

KNR was having a good debate about it. Amare is in a contract year and he is looking for max dollars. The question is...would he be happy only getting around 10-12 shots a game? No doubt that talent wise, this would be a no brainer, but can Amare coexist?

Outside of Reghi KNR sucks when it comes to the NBA. Everyone acts like Lebron is Kobe and takes 30 shots a game he gets off on assisting his team mates.

Amare wasn't happy being 3rd wheel behind a team that was in first place in the NBA a few years back. He's going to be content coming to Cleveland, beign 3rd wheel, and getting 10-12 shots a game? Lol.

Please, by all means, Cavs. Make this happen. Nothing I enjoy more than watchign Amare Staudamire (bonafide loser) get his ass kicked.

Several New Rumors floating around:

LA gets:Joakim Noah and Kirk Hinrich
Chicago gets:Andrew Bynum, Josh Powell and Sasha Vujacic

LA gets:Chris Bosh and Marcus Banks
Toronto gets:Andrew Bynum, Jordan Farmar, Adam Morrison, Draft Pick

Chicago gets:Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace
Boston gets:Tyrus Thomas, Jordan Hill & Kirk Hinrich

Cleveland gets:Richard Hamilton and a draft pick
Detroit gets:JJ Hickson and Delonte West

Toronto getswyane Wade and a draft pick
Miami gets:Hedo and Jose Calderon

Miami gets:A'Mare Stoudemire
Phoniex gets:Michael Beasley and Jermaine O'Neal

Heat recieve: Amare Stoudmire & Leonardo Barbosa
Suns recieve: Michael Beasley, Daquan Cook, & Udonis Haslem

Warriors get:Mo Williams and a draft pick
Cavs get:Monta Ellis

He also couldn't co-exist with Steve Nash, one of the most liked and respected players in the entire league. He's a malcontent who has has two knee surgies, an eye surgery, as well as a litany of other injuries over the years.

He's soft, doesn't rebound, doesn't play D, and is only happy when he's repeatedly putting the ball in the bucket.

To top it off, he doesn't have a midrange game (even though he thinks he does) and gets his points around the paint... the same place Shaq, AV, LeBron, and Leon Powe will be doing their work. He also won't help against the Rashard Lewis' and the Lamar Odom's of the world.

Also, what is going to be your crunch time line up? Mo, Delonte, LBJ, Amare, and Shaq?

Amare Stoudemire

Written By: Jonathan Baxter on February 15, 2010

Amare Stoudemie trade rumours have almost become a yearly tradition during the All Star break – with the Suns athletic big men being on many teams’ wish list since Shaq was traded for Shawn Marion. So it is no surprise that the latest Amare Stoudemire trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers has brought much excitement to the NBA in a time when many trades are expected to happen before the trade deadline.
Amare Stoudemire

This latest Amare Stoudamire trade to Cavs rumour seems to be all but done and would make the currently unstoppable Cavs (even without their star PG Mo Williams) more unstoppable.

Amare Stoudemire is set to be traded for JJ Hickson and the Big Z. The Suns are expected to wave Ilguaskas and the Cavaliers would pick him up again.

Essentially the Amare Stoudemire trade might shape the NBA landscape significantly – with implications way beyond this season. With a dominant big men near his prime like Amare, LeBron would be hard pressed to leave his hometown Cavs.

This would also make the expected NBA finals showdown with the Lakers that much more exciting.

For now let’s wait and see until the final details are hammered out on this Amare Stoudemire to Cleveland deal until we speculate any further.

This was Rizzo and Brian Windhurst. Windhurst doesn't like the fit, but Rizzo did.

More importantly, what did Aaron "douche bag" Goldhammer think about it?!?!?

haha...Hammer agreed with Windy.

He's from Miami, but that isn't always a big factor. He'd go to Miami so he could play with a top 5 player in the NBA and for a GM that's a historic figure that knows how to get things done. Miami isn't an elite team, but make no mistake, with another elite player they would become a better team.

Did somebody really say Howard for best player? GTFO

God I hate that guy lol
