    I know it's still 100 degrees outside, but it's never too early to get your Christmas list to Santa. My family is on the beat-the-rush plan, as my kids want Thomas the Train everything, my wife wants diamonds and pearls, and Daddy wants Amare averaging 20 and 10 by the New Year. I want rock-star Amare? Is that too much to ask? It would be great for Amare, great for the Suns Nation, and great for the league. But will it happen? Will we see rock-star Amare in 06-07? I'm hopeful...but hope doesn't pay the bills in fantasy basketball.</div>

    The article is the top 10 things to look forward to in the upcoming NBA season. The Suns get two mentions, also in No. 4. But this is considered one of the biggest stories to look for in 06-07. Now that it's getting close to training camp, should we start talking about expectations. With Summer League and the USAB training camp behind him, what contribution do you think Amare will bring to start the season, and how long before he's the Amare of old?

    Boy, those are good questions. Near as I could tell from USAB camp, he looked strong, but not exceptional. If his increased range is a factor, I think I'll be a little disappointed. I don't want him to go soft because of his knee like C-Webb. As for expectations, I have none. I just want him back full strength before the season is over, nothing else matters to me. He is a prodigious talent with plenty of years ahead of him, and I want them to be great, so rest up and get healthy before anything else.

    This team will do just fine without him, they would love to have him back and so would I, but I'm not rushing a thing.

    Same here, but by the looks of things, he's not fully healed yet. He may or may not be playing early in the season, but the way he played with the US team, he's got some more mending to do. I wouldn't say he was awful, nor was he the least bit notable, but he'll be better in due time.

    I really hope that we will see Amare, who we saw in 04/05. I'm young and have watched NBA for only i year [​IMG]. But i know that he played gooood in 04/05 and i havent seen him play.
