The trade i have been talking about is WITHOUT T-MAC Suns get: Luis Scola or Carl Landry, Shane Battier, and Brian Cook Rockets get: Amar'e Stoudemire Why - The Rockets can use Amar'e Stoudemire's scoring ability to put them over the top and lock up a playoff spot for this season. Going forward I like a center/power forward combination of STAT and Yao Ming once Ming returns from injury next season. The Suns get a cheaper replacement at the 4 (Scola and Landry both are free agents after this season, but they will be cheaper to keep than Amar'e), Battier is an upgrade over Grant Hill and brings the defensive tenacity the Suns desperately need, and Brian Cook is an expiring contract.
