    I like that, but Shane's backup is who, unless Mac can play the 3 and Wafer at the 2 , but that means no defense

    don't be rude, son. you were saying amare will got trade for a reason, implying he ain't any good. ask that question to many trades involving great players - were they of any good?

    as hot as dhoward is, compare him to amare. who's better? i say it's hard to say.

    Unless the rockets offered them Yao, I don't see any chance in getting Amare.

    1st sentence...yes...100% true...he'd fit in PERFECTLY for those teams.

    2nd....not really. Remember the talk a few months ago? About the Knicks getting both Bosh and LeBron in the same off-season? They'd probably keep Amare around after 2010 when his deal is up and sign LeBron and be done with it.

    people have got to understand, the suns are moving their pieces because of financial reasons. at least that's what i've read so far. and if that is true, they'd only want expirings and such and can care less about whom they get in return.

    Depends on the coach, but I think:

    T-Mac (the one we got for Steve/Cuttino)

    Amare

    under

    D'Antoni


    That team would pass the first round.

    Ah yes, i remember now. Amare and Lebron would be better than bron with bosh actually and seein as though Dantoni has experience using Amare and also including the fact that every former organization loves dealing to people who used to work for them, i now say NY will be his new team wit Lee being the main piece of the deal.

    There are still people who think Amare is better than or preferable to Yao?

    Some advice, rookie. You can't just make bold claims without providing a link or some form of back up. This is the third time IN THIS THREAD that you've done that. How do you start off a claim with "In my opinion" then say you "heard" a rumor somewhere? It makes no sense at all.

    don't bite your tongue, stick to your silly "he's getting traded since he ain't any good" "opinion". :(

    let's not just look at the big names, the rumor is everyone but nash is on the table...i wouldn't mind getting one or two of their role players...

    Hill + Lopez would be nice.....

    I think they may be interested in Artest, he may be slipping a bit on D, but they still lack defensive toughness...that may not be an equal trade talent wise, but it may work out for Houston...

    i dont think salaries match though...

    hill, lopez, and barbosa for Ron and Brooks?? I'm not too crazy about letting brooks go, but phoenix doesn't have much to work with since they have 4 players taking up like 90% of their salary...

    Didnt say he wasnt good, rookie. I said I dont like him. I think he isnt the same player after the microfracture surgery. Its probably the toughest surgery to come back from. Never liked his attitiude when he came in the league. Thats my opinion son.

    so amare is getting traded because you, a CF fan, don't like him? lol.

    opinions are like behinds, everyone has got one. so don't value you own too much.

    btw, you can't use "son" in your post w/o my express consent, since i used it first. it is copyrighted. :eek:
