Looks like the Suns are being offered the same offer we were looking to get from the Sixers. Would they actually want to bring Amare on with a max contract, rather than clear some cap space? http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64472/20100204/amare_for_iguodala_dalembert_being_discussed/
This is being talked in the Philly thread but Amar'e will stop the trade imo. He might have already. And Philly reportedly wants more besides Stoudemire.
Maybe, maybe not!? Key is Stoudemire. Sounds like he heard the rumors of him being shipped to Philly and now told management, "Well maybe I'll opt in instead after all." Doubtful, as I think he just doesn't want to go to Philly, and will opt out with Phoenix. JMO
Correct. There is still a lot of denial by some members on the board.They feel that McGrady's expiring contract will be enough. The Sixers want talent as well.
You know if I was Philly I'd still do the deal because worst case he comes off your books after 10-11 and if Barbosa is included he is the same. Problem now is Amare blocking the deal, Rox need to get in on this stuff somehow and capitalize off this mess. Edit - Didn't realize Barbosa had a player option for 11-12...makes things a bit scrambled.
This deal makes more sense from the Sixers standpoint than the Suns. Trading for Dalembert/Iggy doesn't shrink the Suns payroll nor does it really make them younger. If the Suns don't want to pay Amare, why would they pay for Iggy/Dalembert? Unless Amare's trade value is literally in the dumps, I can't imagine the Suns can't get at least one offer that includes a few young, underpaid players + some reasonable contracts.
not to go swoly on you but the phrase is "i couldn't care less" i have terrible spelling and grammar myself but that is one of the things that has always bothered me when people say it
Well Amare is said to be picking up his option for next year, I doubt the 76ers would want to be paying him and I doubt Amare would agree to go to the 76ers and i doubt Amare stopping this deal from happening. Give up Dorsey and Andersen!!!
