[ESPN/J.A. Adande] Stoudemire to the Rockets a "Possibility"

You might be right, but the trade is a complete rip off heavily in our favor which equates to this maybe happening. Yet seems like it had to go through to have Iggy in the best possible scenario.

 

If this goes down,were going to win the championship :grin:

 

I would do it depending on who we are giving up.

 

THIS is what I am talking about. I am all aboard this train. :grin:


Hate to lose Lowry and Landry, but this trade makes too much sense not to do.

 

If any team has $20M cap space they don't need a sign and trade as they can just sign him outright since he's unrestricted.

Take on Jeffries contract just for a TE? Come on.

 

I always liked barbosa his hustle and he can score
He is young and afforable
sounds good to me im sold lol morey lets get er dun

 

Yes, but they could be enticed to do a S&T to dump a salary. We could take back any kind of salary, say some $3 million expiring deal and get back a TE.

Jeffries will be an expiring next season. A perfect example of what I'm talking about. An expiring contract and a trade exception. Those are both tradable assets.

 

True, but what if les is more inclined to spend? For that right player? either way, this deal he did not lose much for the long term however which is why it had a good deal to not pass on.

 

I would love to do something like McGrady+Scola for Amare and Barbosa as long as Amare was opting in next year. I wouldn't need a max agreement, but I would want him opted in for next year. Barbosa is better offensively than everyone but Brooks in our backcourt so he is also an upgrade. Landry comes off the bench still, but then he and Amare can play together in the second unit.

Hayes/Amare/Andersen
Amare/Landry/Andersen
Ariza/Battier (I would rather Battier start but that wont happen)
Barbosa/Budinger
Brooks/Lowry

 

Amare is an overpaid, overrated, injury-prone, primadonna b****.

 

I doubt it will happen. Amare doesn't even like Houston that much. But if it does happen.....sweet.

 

Amare i doubt is all about money. I think he wants a better team - bigger market - winning what is important.

 

I think he'll like it more and more once he adjustes to the enviornment and city.

 

Kudos for you!

 

I'm not sure if Amare is everything we need but you guys need to stop whining about every player we linked with. You can blame every single player in the league with something, Lebron is immature, Kobe has ego, Wade is injury-prone, Durant is so young, Butler is old etc. You guys acting like Iguodala is MJ, hell yea I'll take Iguo+Dalembert for McGrady but Iguodala is NOT a offensive guru.

Yes Amare doesn't play defense for 3-4 years, he has some injury issues. But we need offense, maybe he's the best offensive big and Amare&Yao duo is absolute nightmare for anyteam in the league. And when he's motivated, he's really good, really.

 

I know after looking at what we'd have left on the team how could anybody whine? The players are in place folks. We got it all. Inside-outside- a little bit of everything, ball movement, running, defense, rebounding. It's set, just a matter if it can stay intact once it's proven to work. Swinging for the fences, you have to do something, Yao has about 2 good years left, yet we don't even know that. So what people are saying is pass on the deal? thats kinda stupid. What left on the team is deserving to stay who's contributed the most last 2-3 years.

 

Ama're and Yao would be pretty sweet...but he would probably walk after this season.

 

DM the GM leaks interest in Amar'e (which I do not believe) to try and force some urgency in Philly (for the player I believe he wants).

 

I think Rockets are one of the only teams in the league who you can actually add Amare to it, because you have guys who play great team defense, so this makes up for his liabilities. Defense will take you along ways when you add Amare to it's equation. You have Battier and Hayes team leaders ATM and defensive mind-sets. Adding a guy like Amare is only going to improve the team. Great team defense, with some offense never hurts anything.
