Stoudemire on trade block

[The Messenger]

A 6 year deal is worth more than a year and a half rental.

Not if it means grabbing a big man that can push you over the edge. The Hawks wouldn't do anything this season except maybe escape the first round, but next season they'd be set to be a top team in the East.

 

[corbin]

Ill add one more thing to it. Josh Smith is a great athlete and he has loads of potential but when playoff time rolls around, you would rather have Stoudemire no doubt. Amare could put them up as an elite team in the east, they would be down right scary in the playoffs. Also, even if this year doesn't work out you have amare for a full year NEXT year. Then when that comes up(who knows maybe the Hawks win a ring) Amare can make a decision to bolt to another team and you have free'd up even more cap space for another key player. You see what I am saying? If you have any more realistic trade offers, please share.

You're in la-la land if you think the Bulls are going to land Amare rofl.

How? The Bulls have players to offer. Forget Hughes and Gooden. They have Tyrus Thomas, Deng, Gordon, Hinrich and picks.

Plus Steve Kerr.... Hmmmm Dont you think he would want to help out the Bulls? I'm sure he'd love too.

 

[Point Blank]

I don't think he's going anywhere.

 

[zack54attack]

I was thinking.. the Bulls have the best package to give them. I'd love Tyrus to stay cause hes improving game by game and is a freakish athlete.

I just wish Paxson would pull the trigger, unlike with Gasol, and Garnett.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

funny, none of these deals help the suns right now
am i living a dream and think they have the slightest crack to win?
if they get their fucking act together they can be the best team in the LEAGUE

I flat out do not see the Suns having a shot at contending for the title. They just can't compete with the elite level teams. IMO they should start the rebuilding process now and not try to stretch these last two years out into a couple 45 game win seasons and first round exits.

 

[IamMedellin]

so theyre done...

damn....if it wasnt for that robert Horry cheapshot....y'all mighta had a ring...

I'd just deal every1...JRich,Nash,shaq,

:ice: You can't be serious.

Steve Kerr bent MJ over and stuck it in with no lube with that suns/bobcats deal. You honestly think he gives a shit about helping former teammates/teams? :irked:

You really dont think the suns wouldnt be interested in Gordon, Hinrich, Thomas or picks?

Your an idiot if you dont think so.



What are you talking about? That was a good deal for both teams. If anything it sucked for the Suns. They are going to rebuild.

Yes, I really think the Suns wouldn't be interested in those players. I must be an idiot yet I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me. Gordon expires at the end of the season. I haven't followed Hinrich this season but I know his performance last season was a decline from the previous one where teh Bulls made it to 2nd round of playoffs. Thomas is a freak athlete but still hasn't lived up to his potential.

The Suns picked up J-Rich in a rebuilding effort? They picked up a 3 yr contract valued at over 40 million dollars to rebuild? You have got to be shitting me. They picked him up for another offensive weapon to gun for a championship. Maybe they are starting to realize now it isn't going to happen but to say they picked up J-Rich to rebuild is absurd.

Btw, if you're going to call someone an idiot, don't forget your apostrophe brah.

Gordon? Hinrich? We are keeping Nash by the way, so throw Hinrich out the window. We don't need to have more over paid point guards on our team. Gordon? Have you seen Barbosa, for whatever reason management is in love with Barbosa and we wouldn't trade him all of last off season. So Gordon doesn't fit for us. Also, I didn't even state that we JUST traded for J-Rich. One of the three would be riding the pine the whole season, doesn't make sense to me. Thomas could be interesting though but you can't get Amare just for Thomas.

Touche.



All I'm saying is I believe the Suns would want Gordon, Hinrich, Deng, Thomas or picks.

 

[corbin]

In order for 2 teams to come to an agreement on such a big trade, they both need to evaluate how each player fits into the team. Like I said earlier, Hinrich and Gordon makes absolutely NO sense.

 

[mfbmike]

I don't mean to come off as a dick but it's the truth man. I mean I can understand, you being a Bulls fan and all and worse heists have been made before (gasol/kwame).

Funny how you went from "you're an idiot if you think the suns don't want that" to "i believe the suns would want that"

ahahah. :shifty:

 

[stevsta]

imo i would think the bulls hypothetically could trade gooden, hinrich, and a later draft pick and i dont event think that could be enough

Later draft pick? It's going to have to be in the top 10 to be even be considered. I don't want to sound like an ass but we are talking about one of the best players in the league. You don't get him for 1 journeyman, 1 overpaid PG who hasn't shown me much for awhile now, and a late draft pick.

i meant 1 first and 1 in the future and nash isnt getting younger gooden's contract expires next year if you want to rebuild sort of the deal you want

 

[corbin]

I feel ya but Suns management has said many times, they want some one that is playing good right now and has loads of potential for the future that they can re-build with. Like Josh Smith, Tayshaun Prince, Andre Iguodala type of players.

LMAO.... You don't think they are trying to rebuild? If they were not trying to rebuild, then why would they put Amare on the block?

It's a dumb move IMO for them to start rebuilding, but it looks like they are. they know they cant compete in the West this year, and with the same team next year. It's obviously not the players, its the Front Office and the system that Jerry Porter is running. Amare was killing early in the year, and then BOOM Shaq comes back, and its give the ball to Shaq down low. That's not the system the suns should be running.

All I can say watching this Warriors vs Suns game, is that you (Primetime) don't know how defense is played, or you just don't watch Amare on defense.

Amare's defense, or lack there of, was the cause for the last 3 Golden State buckets. He doesn't know how to switch, is lazy helping out, and doesn't know how to contest shots without leaving his feet (only reason he averages so many blocks).

Now i know what you're going to say, and no, I'm not basing this off of one game. I've watched at least 15 Suns games this season, but I had to watch this one and pay close attention to Amare just to make sure he hasn't become an adequate defender overnight.
