    Dude, u make little sense, I guess that what makes a rookie have 2k posts in 2 months. Seems like you need to do a little more reading and a little less writing. Grow some NBA knowledge, son.

    Are the people saying "Morey trade Amare for Yao" being sarcastic?

    If we traded Yao for Amare it would be a disaster.

    If Shaq wasn't on the Suns,I wouldn't be surprised if Phoenix agreed to take Yao for Amare. I too feel it will be a disaster for the Rockets if that were to occur.

    Why do you say that ? Not saying we should do the trade but disaster? Their stats are similar, and at this point in their careers, Amare has accomplished a lot more. Also, he's younger and less injured meaning he's a bigger asset than Yao.

    I think the Suns are fine the way they are. Steve Kerr ruined the team when he hired Terry Porter as coach. I think the players have given up on him.

    Right coach = different situation

    I thought Shaq's arrival last year made Amare a far better player. If I'm not mistaken, Amare's offensive explosion last year was due to the fact that opposing defenses were always in foul trouble due to Shaq's presence and Amare was easily able to get to the line, where he shoots a decent clip.

    From the one Phoenix game I saw this year, it looks like Amare doesn't give a **** about whats going on out there. Just look at his rebounding numbers, 8.1 rebs in 36 mpg, absolutely pathetic. Remember JVG says rebounding is an overall indicator of how much effort your putting out. Not Eddy Curry bad, but pretty damn bad for someone with Amare's size and athleticism.

    I'm confused as to what is different this year. I was under the impression that upon Shaq's arrival, Amare led the league in scoring, and that this correlation was indeed causation.

    What the hell are we going to do Amare? We have two really good power forwards and the guy plays no defense. We do however need a point guard.

    Trades for giggles:
    Amare for Artest, Landry, Alston, Picks
    Dudley for Houston's TPE

    Brooks/Barry
    McGrady/Wafer/Head
    Battier/Dudley
    Amare/Scola/Hayes
    Yao/Mutombo/Dorsey

    McGrady/Amare pick and rolls would be fun to watch...But the lack of defense wouldn't.

    Phoenix isn't a young team desperately trying to shed payroll.

    A trade that lopsided happens once a decade

    That's too much to give up for Amare, you're giving them a star, a star in the making, and a starting point, PLUS picks...

    So many dumbass wanna trade Yao for Amare. Explain your reason. You gain athleticism and lose what? oh let see: low post threat/defense/86%FT/and double team.

    Why the hell is people even thinking about a Yao to Amare trade? Artest + Scrubs for Stoudemire would be sweet though, but then again 15M a year? we can't afford that...

    He's way better than the power forwards we have, even without defense. Scolandry is when you cant have an All Star power forward. But when you CAN... Sucks to say the Scolandry combo plays willing defense but just isnt good at it. Amare would at least provide a longer shot blocking presense. Though he'd be Mo Taylor 2.0 underpeforming on rebounds

    Amare fits the need of athletic big man with size but I agree, this team needs a good point guard even more.

    I hope him and Bosh get traded and puts kinks in all the team's 2010 plans.

    Give Artest, Landry or Scola and Luther for Amare. This is good for both teams.

    Edit: lalala902102001 read my mind. I've watched Amare this season and his assessment is spot on.

    some guy earlier said something about the hawks so i figured why not try to make a deal...phx will not trade amare to anyone in the west, morey has shown he doesnt care who he trades with as long as it benefits the rockets.

    i just had to tweak a few things to make it work. like houston sending cash to phoenix
