Photoshop: Stoudemire in a Rockets uni (merged: Rockets-Suns trade rumor)

I don't think so. Nash + Amare = roughly $30M in salary and that's before Phoenix includes the throw-in's and guys they want to get rid of like Barbosa.

 

Replaced Amare with Nash then it's a deal.

 

What are we really blowing up.?? Brooks? he's not that good. Hes overated as hell,there i said it. Hes a midget,that cant pass. Hes not even that great of a shooter. Ok I'm serious this is my last post Im going to bed.

 

Yes that is a deal, I still want their stinkin pick though.

 

1. Stoudemire is an upgrade over Landry. Barbosa for Brooks is a wash.
2. Considering that we already have Scola at PF, we're basically coming out even just to get rid of McGrady, and we're not really addressing our needs. I just don't think Stoudemire is the impact player that we need at this point.
3. I think I'd only be excited if we made another move to address the C problem - and the new PG problem which would be created by this trade.
4. Damn I'd miss Landry and Brooks. I'm not ashamed to admit it.

 

How is this bad when we are really just losing AB for Amare, cause STAT replaces what Landry does times 10 and we lose a player that isn't playing and isn't even better than Wafer now? Plus we get Barbosa. OMG That's a steal!

 

Is it? Because Kyle Lowry is your starting and backup point guard. Thats a step back in my book. And now you have holes. The ship might sink.

 

Yeah I'm shocked at how many people here value Brooks so highly. I think this is about as solid of a deal as we can possibly get for T-Mac.

Barbosa being seriously dissed by the posters in this thread.

Oh, and has anyone actually confirmed this was on the radio?

 

Man I would rep you if I could.

 

Thanks for explaining the financial implications. Couldn't they send out one first followed by the other in two separate trades?

 

yeah I totally feel u man!!!

look at wat the spurs gave up for jefferson!!!

look at what the cavs lost of shaq a hof!!!

so since steve nash is also a hof...I reckon, seriously, that it should be more like brian cook carl landry brent barry for steve nash...cos thats how you do a trade to sarver!!!

 

this can turn out really good for us. we can sign j-kidd for cheap i think he would come over and play with us

 

I LOVE Luis. He's one of my top favorite players in the league. I'm just thinking out loud of what the Rockets might do if this went down. I definitely DO NOT want to trade Scola but if this goes down, we have 2 legit PF's and a hole at PG so I could see moving Scola(definitely do not want to trade) for a PG if we get Amare.

 

seriously i expect any trade to go down to favor us while morey is at the helm. I just don't think amare stoudamire would make us championship contenders and i wouldn't give those pieces for him if they could get us a allstar caliber guard. Either tmac gets us one via trade, or he rehabilitates well enough for him to be that guy. i guess i'm still holding out for him to come back in allstar form

 

Yeah, I don't understand why people are so high on Brooks also. If he's so important why is his name being the most trade bait for the Rockets? The Rockets don't need a shooting guard. They need a passing guard.

 

AND PEOPLE, BARBOSA FOR AARON BROOKS IS NOT NOT NOT A WASH...

Aaron Brooks owned the Laker's a$$es on national TV...

aaron brooks' contract is 21312 times better than barbosa!!!

his trade value, NOTE TRADE VALUE, is 10 times higher than barbosa right now!!!

aaron brooks potential is 32432 times higher than barbosa and his age makes him that much more attractive!!!

would you trade rajon rondo for raja bell if you were the celtics??!!!!!!!

 

Sign Bibby or Kidd and Artest and Wafer

Yao/Stoudamire
Stoudamire/Scola
Artest/Battier
Barbosa/Wafer
Bibby or Kidd/Lowry

Looks good to me

 

i hope that is a joke

 

I want nothing to do with Barbosa either. Amare and Yao can play alongside each other and Amare can play center alongside Scola when Yao is out. Rockets would still need a playmaker.

Barry, Landry, Brooks, and T-Mac for Nash and Amare.

A brother can dream, can't he?

 

Nash + Amare for T-Mac, Barry, Brooks, and Landry works financially.
