So, i'm kind of torn about this right now. I don't remember exactly and don't really feel like looking it up, but the Suns want something like Z, JJ, and a 1st round pick for Amare right? I'm assuming Z gets bought out, so you get Amare for JJ and a 1st rounder. Now I'm seeing that all Washington wants for Jamison and James is Z and Moon. Again assuming Z gets bought out, you're getting Jamison and James for Moon. Not really sure which one i'd rather have. On one hand, Amare is younger and has much more left in the tank than Jamison. On the other, you can get Jamison without giving up JJ, who a lot of people are really high on right now. Tough choice.

I'm just saying.. If I were a Cavs fan, I would rather keep Hickson and get Jamison.

Z/JJ/Green/1st for Amar'e
Z/Moon/1st for Jamison and James. There may be more to this, not sure.
Z gets bought out in both cases and James gets bought out by Cleveland.

May not be the most accurate of sites, but I read about the deal for Jamison on RealGM, and they make no mention of a 1st rounder for Jamison and James.

Wojo says Suns told Amar'e he is playing tonight, figured this would be going to the deadline!

Can people please stop looking at RealGM? That site as as much credibility as the tabloid magazines on newsstands..

5. Should the Lakers trade for Kirk Hinrich?
Adande: No, taking on another $17 million in the next two years is too much for a guy shooting 38 percent.
Legler: No, Kirk Hinrich is too young to be regressing the way he is. That's a red flag, and they've found the guard production off the bench that they need.
Rose: No way, they already have the highest payroll in the NBA.

Its common sense. Cleveland tried to force Suns to deal, they said were waiting and Cleveland will also.wes_mantooth wrote:People from the Cavs message boards are all traveling to the I480 Bridge...loldevil1197 wrote: Wojo says Suns told Amar'e he is playing tonight, figured this would be going to the deadline!

I don't agree with that at all. I really think that Hinrich fits that system well.Trueblue23 wrote: 5. Should the Lakers trade for Kirk Hinrich?

We aren't targeting him for his offense.

I have a problem with Phoenix playing Amar'e tonight, if they are indeed going to trade him... That's usually an unwritten rule to not do that.

I kinda agree, but they are still in the playoff hunt, so they need everygame they can get.LTrain23 wrote: I have a problem with Phoenix playing Amar'e tonight, if they are indeed going to trade him... That's usually an unwritten rule to not do that.

Wojo tweet:
Source told me that the Wizards are closing in on a 3-team trade that will send Antawn Jamison to CLE and Drew Gooden to a Western Conf team
I would love either Amar'e or Jamison but not sure why there needs to be a 3 team for Jamison.

Wojo isn't quite that reliable either..
I'll wait for Windy or W & G before I believe that one.

It's possible, but I find it hard to believe that they won't move Amar'e now, especially after his comments and his Agent saying what he said. I think this was said to give Miami a little bit more time to try and come out with a better deal, which so far, they haven't..SQ_Crazies wrote: Or maybe they aren't trading him.
But, there is still a chance he's not traded. Crazier things have happened.

Wes, if the Suns trade Amar'e, don't you think that's pretty much giving up on a playoff spotwes_mantooth wrote:I kinda agree, but they are still in the playoff hunt, so they need everygame they can get.LTrain23 wrote: I have a problem with Phoenix playing Amar'e tonight, if they are indeed going to trade him...

Of course, JJ could go there and average 15/8
