    I know it was a brilliant marketing move on the part of the Rockets. I'm just wondering what if, he's one of the top up and coming players in the NBA.

    Don't fool yourself into thinking that Amare can play without Nash, because he's a little puppy in need of a master.

    Put down the pipe, Francis will actually stunt Amare's game.

    Gawd, I blame Amare for all these stupid comments, his uneducated HS diploma aura is spreading to his fans.

    It's not a stupid comment. Amare is a far better player than Yao at this point and I am just wondering how it would be if he was on the Rockets.

    How many points did Amare average when Nash was out, 16 pts?

    Amare has yet to prove he can play without the breast feeding of Steve Nash.

    LOL! This thread is soooo rediculous, it actually gave me a good laugh.

    The REAL question is "what if...we had actually kept Richard Jefferson instead of trading for Eggie?". Hindsight is 20/20

    Yes it is stupid comment. A VERY stupid comment. A mind numbingly stupid comment. A gouge the eyes out reach into the internet and slap the stupid comment maker type of stupid comment.

    Who the friggin hell cares?!?! What point would it make to wonder that kind of crap? Why don't we wonder why not trade Yao for Cleveland's pick which became Lebron? Why not? Because it's POINTLESS that's why.

    Here is the answer to this thought provoking thread:

    GET OVER IT.

    i would still take yao over amare. as good as amare is ALL his shots are created for him by nash. how many times during the game did you actually see amare having to create his own shots? Give yao a nash or kidd and his numbers would skyrocket. When Nash was out Amare wasnt too great.

    Why is everyone in love with Amy Stoudimire??? Aside from all the valid points everyone has made, people forget to mention that practicaly everytime he goes up for a block he slaps it into the courtside seats. Hakeem never did this, he kept it in play so his temates could score. Yao does the same thing. I also ask Can Amy fall on his butt recover a loose ball and then throw a behind the back pass to a teamate for a score? The answer is a resounding HELL NO??? and you wanna know why? Coz like a majority if his peers his a$$ cant pass. All that girl can do is dunk.

    Amare + Francis > Tmac + Yao what a joke.

    Anyone who thinks this watches to many sportscenter highlight reals. Pick up a Basketball Book??? Oh wait Amy never did. So I guess its cool not 2 read.

    Too late for all the what ifs and why didn't we... But I sure wish that CD could find us a PF in the draft with the same kind of power game that Amare has....

    This is a stupid thread. The old YOF flame wars were better.

    We could have had amare and caron butler and maybe lamor odom for yao ming if he had done that trade with the clippers. We could have gotten MJ and Hakeem but we didn't so there is no point in the what ifs.
