Amare Stoudemire a Rocket? The Rockets will try but come up short

Ture, that was one reason. But even it was center oriented era, after one season, nobody would take Bowie over Mj anymore I believe. Amare is different, we already know he's nowhere near MJ.

A team of Yao, Amare, Tmac without telanted role players is a copy of current of Shaq, Amre and Nash' suns team, worse record than current Rox even though they are healthy.

 

um our stars haven't even gotten out of the first round.

playoff stats:
04-05 29.9ppg, 10.7rpg, 54% shooting
06-07 25.3ppg, 12.1rpg, 52.3% shooting
07-08 23.2ppg, 9.0rpg, 49% shooting (that was WITH shaq being in the paint)

you really think randolph can do that in the playoffs? you really think marbury can do that in the playoffs?

he's a great player. period.

 

phoenix is not playing a fast pace this year to accomodate shaq. and amare is still putting up 21 ppg on 51% shooting. the reason they're struggling is b/c they don't have an identity. if they know who their go-to guy is, they'd be much better.

 

Amare is good but how can he shine on our team if we don't have a good playmaker...look at Denver, when they got K-Mart he sucked. But he came back to life when they got Billups... I like Amare coz of his swagger and height..our frontcourt would be nasty if he teamed with Yao..but lets get back to reality

 

Tell me what's the difference between Shaq+Amare+Nash vs. Yao+ Amare + Tmac? The difference between Tmac and Nash is bigger than Shaq and Yao. Yet they are having worse record than Rox now with a healthy roast.

If Rox get Amare, the bench will be thin, they won't be any better than Current Suns, and won't even be a contender.

Amare's a great offensive player, a terrible defensive player, over all an overrate player,period.

 

tracy mcgrady is the playmaker.

 

Rox won't play a fast paced game either unless you get rid of both Yao and Tmac.

Also keep in mind no championship in many years played a fast paced game. What makes you think Amare will be the solution to that?

 

T-Mac is also a chucker...fyi

 

if you can't see the differences, i'll tell you:

1) yao is not as selfish/demanding as shaq. shaq wants the offense to go through him despite being 37 years old. we will run the offense through yao, but he won't mind and speak loudly if we run it through amare some. chemistry will be better.

2) amare would love the adelman offense. he hates playing for terry porter. nobody on the suns respect him

3) with those 2 guys getting attention, tracy would actually have the space to score and would WANT to score. and he can then dominate a game with his scoring. nash can't.

if we lose artest + landry, move scola to the bench. scola, wafer, brooks, that's still a great bench considering amare can play big minutes, he can play with them too and play C.

but again, you get a superstar now, MAKE IT FIT LATER.

but it won't happen anyways. i know morey is desperately trying to make it happen right now b/c he thinks like i do. get stars now, think later.

 

man this is pointless discussing htis with you. morey wants to get amare. end of discussion.

 

Although i don't like the idea of pairing Yao with Amare but any time you give up 2/3 role players for a "superstar" player like Amare, it worths the risk!

Before the season started, i m confident the core of Yao/T-Mac/Artest will be able to contend for the championship. Now we are in the February yet the team is still struggling with identity with its offense and defense, I just dont think we can go far in the playoffs. Why not take this risk for a season and see what will happen? If this experiment failed, we still can trade T-mac expiring contract next season for decent PG and SG.

Just my 2 cents!

 

1) Offense go through Shaq is right. Shaq's shooting 58% for god sake. Amare just can't accept that, which means put himself over the team. Bad chemistry happens that way.

2) Amare had 3 head coaches, and he had problem with 3 coahes. Why? because coach want the team to win, but he cares more about himself. What makes you think he would love RA's offense?

3) Nash is a better shooter and passer than Tmac.With those two, Tmac Tmac is a volumn shooter, if he dominates scoring, that means Amare would get even less touches, his offense would be wasted, and he would be even unhappier than in Suns.

4)Aretest + Landry is not enough to get overrated Amare. And we lose a lot in defense and hustle in that tradre.

again, Amare is ＮＯＴＡ SUPER STAR impact wise. He's no Duncan, no Garnett. So don't get too excited.

 

Why is there trade rumors about two power forwards who have had good success in Houston? Landry came out of nowhere for us, same with Scola. The guy we should be looking to trade is Shame "No Offense" Battier. The guy is horrible, hate seeing him play in the 4th quarter. The guy is not gonna draw fouls on offense, teams leave him open, and never see the intangible stuff Batman lovers see. I would be pleased to get a 2nd Rd. pick for him.

 

Yao needs a beast paired with him. Who care if you give up Artest and Landry, you take the risk for a SUPERSTAR player.

 

The reason Rox won't get Amare eventually is Morey is smart enough not to give away too much Rox assets for him. I'll bet with my account here.

Of course everybody wants to get Amare for free or for less. End of story.

 

Artest+Scola+Landry+Head
For
Amare+Hill

 

Artest for

Rip Ham

or

Andre Miller


They fit this team a lot better than Amare!

 

Agree. Even Mike Miller is a much better fit.

 

At the end of the day it's the backcourt that's killing the Rockets. The shooting isn't there but more importantly McGrady's knee is holding back the team on the defensive end.

 

b/c the goal is trying to win a championship. i think morey believes if they can keep yao, tracy and get amare, their chances would be higher.

but i'm sure he would give up artest, landry, another player, plus a pick if he knows that can land amare.
