Stoudemire on trade block

[Kuzzy Powers]

seriously the way he is built he is not that strong he gets pushed around, he's only 240-245 just like bosh they get pushed around. But Amare brings more excitement with dunks and Bosh is just a jump shooter and soft on D like Amare. I'm a raps fan I would take the trade with open arms, O'Neals been a beast as of late.

I know you're not a Raptors fan if you think Bosh is just a jump shooter. Please refrain from making such judgments in the future, thanks.

Furthermore.. to whoever said Phoenix is rebuilding, you're fucking nuts. They didnt trade for Shaq and J-Rich to rebuild, they're priority is winning now. Do you know what the definition of a rebuilding team is? Memphis is rebuilding. Not comparable to Phoenix.

Well here was the rumor in chicago media yesterday..

Suns trade:
Amare Stoudemire

Bulls Trade:
Noah
Ty Thomas
Future draft considerations
Expiring contract of Drew Gooden

You really should write an e-mail or letter to whatever source is putting those rumors out there telling them to stop getting Chicago fans hopes up.

Would only be good to trade Stoudemire if the Suns are looking to rebuild. You could trade him to Grizzlies and possibly get Mayo/Gay or even trade to Thunder and try for Durant.

The Pistons have no shot unless they give up Stuckey. That's really the only trade bait DET has.

[Primetime]

If they are starting to rebuild, they wont want expirings this year. They'll want them next year. Nobody wants Iverson on their team. That's just asking for trouble. They wouldn't wanna trade unless Stuckey was involved.

No, no & no. Neither of those things would ever, ever, ever happen. Never.

I really like Tyrus Thomas. I'd hate to see him go.

Idk about Amare. He plays zero defense and complains alot. But he is a really good offensive player

Two examples (stress examples) of what we're talking about: Stoudemire to Portland for Travis Outlaw, Jerryd Bayless, draft considerations and Raef LaFrentz's expiring contract is the first, based on the assumption that the Blazers will not be surrendering LaMarcus Aldridge even for Stoudemire. Another is Stoudemire to Chicago for Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, draft considerations and Drew Gooden's expiring contract.

We repeat: These are not known to be active trade discussions. Although things could certainly change as the deadline gets closer, sources with knowledge of the Blazers' thinking and the Bulls' thinking maintain that (A) Portland has been unwilling to include Bayless in any proposed deal this season and that (B) Chicago is growing increasingly reluctant to part with its best youngsters after some promising play since team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf's recent blast that the Bulls' first half was "a disaster."



Rasheed, Deng, Chandler, Marion, even Caron Butler are being shopped to an extent.

JA Adande reported that Chandler for Marion is a legit possibility as the Hornets are looking at salary cap for the future.

I'd love for him to go to the Blazers. That would be great. Oden, LA, and Stoudemire lol

[Kuzzy Powers]

Why does Portland wanna stunt the development of Aldridge & Oden by grabbing Stat? Doesnt make much sense to me. And why is Travis Outlaw's name constantly in trade rumours? He takes some ill-advised shots, but IMO he is the key piece off the bench for the Blazers, even more so than Rudy. I think sometimes rumours can be extremely lame.

To the guy that said he'd be sad to see Tyrus go.. if you could unload Tyrus and any package of guys for Stat (save a few of the young studs), id be happy, extremely happy. Hope for the best.

Says Bulls and Heat are Pursing Amare Hard. (no homo).


Also on a New Jersey Nets website, the Nets said the Bulls are interested in Carter.

[Obst]

The Nets have reportedly inquired about Amare Stoudemire, and are waiting to hear from Suns general manager Steve Kerr about their initial bid.

The offer, according to a general manager aware of what Kerr is looking for, would likely include Yi Jianlian, Ryan Anderson, and one of three first round picks that New Jersey has in the next two drafts.

In order to match salaries, the Nets would probably ask the Suns to take Bobby Simmons off their hands as well.

that i think could actually work but the nets would have to give up one more young player
