Its appearing more and more like April Fools! I could just imagine this happening tomorrow: 11 a.m. CT DM : Guys, Guys! We have a trade going down... oh never mind NY is thinking about it... 1:30 p.m. CT DM: Guys, Guys! We really have a trade... oh never mind, NY still thinking about it... 4:00 pm Central 2/18/10 DM: Guys, we have made a trade!!! NY Finally said YES!!! ? : Uhmmm Daryl, your a little late, the trade deadline just passed... NY delayed us on purpose so we'd keep T-Mac, in hopes that he'll be bought out so that they can get him! DM: Dang! I should have not had been patient huh? ? : You think?
He may be Miami-bound. The Heat will have to part ways with Mike Beasley and a couple of draft picks.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys-stoudemiretalks021710&prov=yhoo&type=lgns OK... Now I guess Amare's not going anywhere possibly.
any particular reason why you think that? I dont see why they wouldnt pull the trigger on an amer'e trade as long as it didnt involve Wade. The only exception would be if they had to take on an additional and significant contract, but if it's for amar'e only, why not?
Well apparently Miami isn't willing to give up Beasley... but I don't think the Suns would get anything out of that trade... they're better off not trading him. The Suns are looking for a pick plus an expiring contract... they won't get either with that.... I just feel that they really can't benefit from getting anything from Miami, they're better off just keeping Amar'e.
because they have solid big men who are also young. Noah is legit, so is Gibson. That's pretty much their starting 4 and 5 of the future, maybe even immediate future, problem is they arent exactly scorers, so i think they realized they need a better scorer to pair up with Rose either at the 2 or 3. and that's not really deng, hinrich or salmons. I dont think they expect tmac to fill that role either, but his expiring gives them a change to sign someone who can.
Why trade for Amare when Heat can just sign him in the summer? This will either force the Suns to offer him that $20M/yr contract or close to it or they let him go for nothing in return. Wish the Rockets had a TE or non-guaranteed contract to make a play for Nash this summer.
Let's see we would get a perenial all star as opposed to scrubs from the knicks. Not a hard choice at all Amar'e ALL DAY.
Yes, but Amare is a RENTAL. He's gone at the end of the season to the highest bidder. However, I guess I'd rather have a solid player for the rest of the year than Tmac doing nothing for us...
Can't play D but he just brickwalled Marion's dunk attempt. This mavs game is getting some horrible calls.
Dont the Rox get Stoudamires Bird rights? If Amare plays well I could see clearing enough cap space to sign him long term. If he doesn't play well the Rox let him go and either make a sign and trade or use the MLE to upgrade the team as well as resigning Scola.
