A few reports have the Cavs as the favorites to get Stoudemire now...They're basically offering the Suns expiring contracts (Wally) and JJ Hickson.
Unless dumars didnt offer wallace/ai + amir + 1st round pick, cleveland stand no chance. I read detroits first draft pick is top 15 unlike cleveland. Plus AI/Sheed is better to have then wally.
If the trade goes through...that would rank up there with the Gasol trade... Mo Williams D west Lebron Amare Big Z with Wallace, Varejo, etc.. on the bench Thats crazy...that might be one of the best starting lineups ive ever seen(on paper at least)..
actually if an owner wanted to i guess they could just buy the number 1 draft pick.... i'm sure portland bought 2nd rounders a few years back. wonder how much you would have to bring to the table though, and can you imagine the backlash from the selling town though....
That would really be a blow to the Pistons organization if that trade goes down. Man, that would suck. I think the Bulls are out of the running now because they don't want to give up Thomas. I'm not sure who else, if there is anyone else, that is in this thing now.
its from forum member on realgm.. forgot where it got posted, as realgm topic on suns forum moving on fast pace its unbelievable to follow and discuss. RealGM • Information cleveland vs detroit vs bulls for amare??????????????? I dont want my username to change into AI IS GONE. Then again sheed is the favorite to go not AI.
I don't think you have to worry... Iverson isn't going anywhere. Sheed is the centerpiece of this deal, as you already pointed out.
I wonder if Ben would be part of that. Ben and Wright would get you Amare straight up. He's only got one year left (or is this his last year?). Ben playing behind Shaq would be highly weird. Ben and Shaq playing together... well, I wouldn't go down that lane.
Looks like Cleveland is now out of the running too. Cavs' bid for Stoudemire falls flat - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
You don't think Amare's agent is speaking for Amare? edited to add; At this point i just hope PHX keeps him. edited to add; Some stuff from Hollinger's chat And Chad Ford,
A couple of Amare trades scenarios I worked out both are workable trades on RealGM: Sports Is Our Business Trade ID #5007803 Sheed, and Amir for Amare, and Hill Trade ID #5007814 Sheed, Afflalo and Bynum for Amare
only way we guarantee a ring this yr is moving ai/amir and picks for shaq/hill...bottom line. Y move rasheed? let him go at the end of the season. we need a big and a 3 and Rip in the starting line up
http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11573 Its the latest. By the article cleveland and bulls are the frontrunners. sheed or AI > wally 1st round draft pick for detroit higher then clevelands and hickson is nothing..
