Reports: Portland no longer an option, Amare to Chicago for Tyrus Thomas

Those last nine games are pretty impressive. It is only numbers, but those number look better than LMA's during that stretch. It will be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

 

if the suns do this deal.....it basically ends their season which is good news for us.


but if we dont make a deal....its disgrace on kps art. how can we not offer more then tyrus thomas lol?

 

Tyrus Thomas = Jerome "JYD" Williams.

 

I don't think the Blazers are better with Amare. Interior defense is important for a team wanting to do damage in the playoffs. We need help at SF and PG, please!

the bulls are doing what we need should be doing instead of cake baking shit.

GET A FUCKING STAR NEXT TO BROY....LIKE THE BULLS ARE DOING WITH ROSE.

LA WILL NEVER BE CLOSE TO AMARE.

 

I don't know. If they spent some time together, built a trust level...I think they could have a closeness.

 

The Bulls already did their baking. Turned out they forgot the baking powder. The cake ended up falling flat.

Now they are trying to put frosting on top to make it look like a cake. They can add all the frosting they want, but that cake is never going to rise.

 

I agree with Mixum, for once, let's get it done. Get Stoudemire here and, then, watch out Lakers/Spurs- this would be our Gasol trade if it can be done w/o Aldridge given out. We can clear any logjam next year.

 

I think your wrong and LMA will be better then Amare in the next couple years.

 

it's presumably worth something to the suns to have amare go to the eastern conference.

 

Hey, they play him 2 times a year instead of 4.

 

You would think so, but they way they are running him out of town might indicate they would like to see him stay out west so they can downgrade another western team.

I still don't get this whole thing. They are not rebuilding. They are keeping Nash, Shaq and the vets. It looks like they are trying for addition by subtraction, meaning they don't think much of Amare as a team guy. Kind of weird.

 

it would be more about not wanting to turn a western team into a powerhouse if they can avoid it.

 

I know, just playing around.

 

if they still dump him after firing porter it has to be mostly for financial reasons.

 

If he's traded to the easter conference they play against him twice. If he's in the western conference they play against him for 82 games.

And then come the playoffs.

But of course that doesn't really matter either since Phoenix isn't going to be in the playoffs for a long time.

 

im beginning to think tuesday will decide wether we make a major deal...

if odens ok...maybe a minor one

if odens out for a good stretch....a major one

 

Come again?

 

haha i just ran it through the trade machine and it projects the bulls to have 9 fewer wins after the trade than if they did nothing.

priceless.

 

Well others are saying it's becoming less likely he goes to the Bulls.
