People keep including "and our pick" when talking about possibly trading with PHX. Somehow I think Ike's 3M expiring contract is more valuable to PHX than the #22 pick...unless they plan on selling it right back to us for 3M.
That's actually a very good idea. That allows us to give them $6 million in the trade. I still haven't heard of a team that wants to get rid of a top level SF and would want Amare, however. barfo
If it comes down to expirings/young prospects, Bulls should have this won...Kerr being a former Bull is just the cherry on top. Portland is at the obvious disadvantage being in the same conference. But the Heat could step up and offer Michael Beasley and the Blazers could step up and offer LaMarcus Aldrdige, which would blow the Bulls out of the water. But I don't see those two guys being offered. Pistons, I don't think have the right mix of talent, because I doubt they'd give up Stuckey in the trade.
Unless Chicago is willing to pony up Derrick Rose, I think Portland can offer a better package of expiring contracts and young players even without involving Roy/Oden/Aldridge, if that's all Phoenix wants. But I don't think Phoenix is ready to trade Stoudemire for pennies on the dollar. I'm sure they want a young star player in return.
I can't see the Suns trading a cornerstone like Amare for mediocre prospects like Noah and Tyrus. Young or not neither of these guys even come close to making up for the hole Amare will leave in Phoenix. The Bulls are making a strong push but I don't think anything will get done as ESPN reported the Suns want an expiring with a great young prospect. Something the Bulls don't have unless they are trading Rose.
No, no, this is cool. I got to give @Fawzi83 his first like! I mean, well.... I guess he hasn't been here for 7 1/2 years, but he'll be back soon. Maybe.
