Trading for Stoudemire only makes sense when we are willing to resign him this summer. It's pretty obvious that he will demand MAX money and I think it's also pretty obvious that he is not worth that. That's why I don't see us trading for Amare - even though he is an exciting player.
Redoing the numbers, if we move Scola/Battier for Stoudemire and McGrady for Iggy/Daly Our payroll for next year would be 81 million dollars, possibly 83, depending on how much we resign Lowry for. At this point I think Les wont spend that and I think the story we heard about Morey using McGrady's money to redo Yaos contract is much more likely.
If we can pull Speights along with Iguodala and Dalembert, I would prefer that to taking on Amare and his attitude. Great player...but not an attitude fit in Houston.
^^^Yeah, I doubt Amare stays here. I really hate his attitude as well. He doesn't fit the picture of a Rockets player give it all and stays humble about it. I vote NO.
Look guys, we do not need another overconfident, overpaid, no defense playing wasted talent like Amare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMxzrI09yis Remember this before you ever want to sign a guy like that. I bet everyone wants him because of the dunks and occasional blocks he gets. He's a flashy player, nothing more. If the Rockets really want another 'star' next to Yao, I rather take Bosh because he's more humble and from Houston. If I had to choose, I rather have none because the PF position is fine. We need a new starting SF and SG because Battier is getting old and should be a specialist off the bench next year. Also Ariza as a starter is not going to cut it.
Are you being sarcastic ? Stoudemire is far from a killer, just a tall, athletic PF who can dunk. I'll take Scola and Landry over him any day because they don't have big ego's, are humble and work hard on both ends. Amare is a slouch, ugh
how do I negative rep this guy for comparing ANY of those guys to Amare? Amare is NO killer. Shame on you.
He's not from houston.and soft humble players don't win rings.KILLERS who are team players do.Bosh=T-mac Amare=Kobe :grin:
If bosh could show half the heart Amare does he would be KG lite but instead he he plays like Mr.Andersen.
Half-jokingly: We need another "ARIES" in the team (other than Kyle Lowry). Yes, it seems like these guys tend to light up the fire on a team..that's what we need. And guess what Bosh is an Aries. I honestly think Zodiac chemistry blends in well with team chemistry. Other Aries notables..notice all these guys are tough hard-nosed type players.. - Jerry Sloan & John Stockton..lol - Kyle Lowry - Bob Sura - Baron Davis - Stephen Jackson - Chris Bosh - Brad Miller - Jason Kidd Anyways, I dont think Amare is good for the Rockets. He's a similar player as Carl Landry..just a bit quicker. What the Rockets really need is a shooter..Kevin Martin would be the PERFECT fit for the Rockets.
