Its a great move. No matter the length of the deal. The guy is as young as Bosh by one year off and is better than Bosh i would argue. Bosh has never taken his team to the playoffs as a serious contender. Has never won games like amare has for his teams in the playoffs. Amare is unquestionably better powerforward when healthy. He isnt all that injury prone either.
5 out of 8 seasons playing 82 games or around 80 games says otherwise. With his knee fracture year having lissed as one of those years. So no he is not injury prone. Less than Martin and Yao in fact.
I guess Martin and Yao are super injury prone because he has a better record than both and has made it through more 80 game seasons than both of them combined.
Old news but: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AgmO71B8vjn4RnkS2UKRjKWPzdEF?slug=ys-freeagentbuzz063010
Amare has that is. made it through 5 seasons of 80 games. Martin and Yao together? 5 seasons all in total of healthy 80 games played.
Yao and Martin hve been chronically injury prone. Being less injured than those two doesn't make him healthy.
This is a terrible comparison. Compare him to Andre Miller or something. Why would you compare an injury prone player to some of the MOST injury prone players?
There is no way Amare is better than Bosh. Amare is allergic to rebounding and defense -- he got killed in the playoffs this year on the boards. He's better than Bosh at getting to the rim, but Bosh is a better perimeter shooter. And being less injured than Yao or Kevin Martin does not mean you're healthy -- and yes, Yao/Martin are "super injury prone", as you put it.
Ridiculous. First off, Bosh was never as good as ur making him out to be. The same questions about Amare have been brought up with Chris Bosh. So in a sense, u are buying into the hype. Steve Nash might have contributed to Amare's success, but Amare's game as evolved. He can the hit the outside jumper, he can iso at the top of the key, he can also hit his free throws. His post game is also better than Bosh's. Phoenix's run and gun style doesn't rely on half court play, so ofcourse you wont see his post game much. I just dont see how you can act like Bosh is so much better, especially when his teams are never good (in a weaker conference too). Amare's the better player and more experienced. However, Bosh will win in hype
Amare would be awesome in Houston. Our lineup would somewhat remind me of the our 93-94 Championship team. A. Brooks K. Smith K. Martin V. Maxwell T. Ariza R. Horry A. Stoudemire O. Thorpe Yao Hakeem Of course Yao is no Hakeem and our perimeter defensive specialist is our SF instead of SG. On the flip side, Brooks is better than Kenny and Martin is more efficient on offense than Maxwell. Im all in on Amare.
Please explain how anyone you listed is comparable. The only comparisons I see are Brooks=Smith are both shooters and Yao=Hakeen are both tall.
Fail ? do you even watch BB 1.Brooks game is based off quickness and 3 pt shot. Smith's strictly 3 pt shot. 2.Max great defender,tough,crazy,streaky Martin none of these things 3.Horry could make 3pters in his sleep better than Ariza. Horry was a shooting PF/SF who could block shots. Ariza is a SG/SF who cant shoot. 4.Amarie is an offensive force who is suspect defensively/rebounder. Which is the exact oppisite of Thorpe. 5.Yao, While I'm a fan of his he will never have the quickness/explosiveness that Akeem had. In short the 93-94 team was a defensive team. This proposed team is an offensive team. They are nothing alike. I hope this helps your understanding of the game.
wherever amare ends up - its looking like it wont be phoenix http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17449/amare-suns-break-off-talks
I am starting to get on the Amare deal. Amare is better than Bosh probably and you dont have to include Brooks in the deal making this team better by getting Amare instead too. So its Amre for Scola and Battier or Bosh for Brooks? I tell you Amare is the beter deal and if we have it on the table we should go ahead and do it instead of letting him sign somewhere else waiting for Bosh to make his decision. Go ahead and pull the trigger Morey instead of waiting if you have one that can be done already.
