Amare is a young talent with tremendous potential. The Rockets have enough players that can make an impact for the team already, so Amare wouldn't be a bad project to have. Consider that if he develops within the next 2-3 years, you'll have with him, Yao Ming (C), Amare (PF), Eddie Griffin (SF), Cuttino (SG), and Francis (PG). The veterans leaders would be Steve and Cutinno, both would be 6-7 years in the league. How far and long can a team like that go!
