Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead Of course experienced fans knew the deal was dead as soon as it was reported... http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/11838893/13535220
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead http://sportstwo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134801 Just use one thread. I posted it there anyways.
It can be said about the Bulls as well. Kerr didn't want to help a rival... And I'm confident Kerr wont take on mediocre prospects like Tyrus, Noah, ect. Tyrus is playing solid as of late but he's still a 6'7"-6'8" tweener. Neither are starters on a good team, IMO. The Suns want cap relief but they also want worthwhile prospects that can soften the blow of losing a player of Amare's caliber.
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead Why would I use 1 thread? They are different subjects. At least change the title of this thread to reflect that the trade is dead.
I think Kerr's having enough trouble making his own team better, let alone planning how to keep other teams manageable for when that Suns mess becomes a title contender. In any case, Portland could work out a three-way in which Amare goes somewhere else and they get a point guard or small forward. In that case, of course, they wouldn't be dealing LMA.
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead They are both about Blazer discussion with the Suns, don't see how they are different subjects...
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead The latest report is a logical extension of the currently active thread. It seems to fit best here, rather than splitting the conversation into two threads. Ed O.
i still dont want to give up bayless. but i would in that deal. another deal would have to happen there is no way lamarcus starts coming off the bench.
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead The point is the conversation should end. You hiding the facts deep in this thread because you want Amare doesn't help this forum.
I'm sorry to inform you but this deal is officially dead. I've been censored from posting this on the front page, that's probably why you didn't know.
well it doesnt hurt my feelings much, im not big on getting amare. i'd much rather deal rudy than bayless anyway.
"Officially" dead? I'm glad you know KP, because regardless of whether or not that article is correct (and I hope it is), trades can resurface real quick....
1. A CBS Sportsline report doesn't make anything "official". 2. The link that you posted had already been posted in this thread, and ehizzy (as everyone else posting here) had access to it 3. Hypotheticals (such as whether giving up Bayless to get Amare) are entirely reasonable topics of conversation, irrespective of whether talks between the two teams (actually or just allegedly) are occurring. Ed O.
Re: Portland/Phoenix trade talks dead In a fair world. This is a horribly unjust world, where topics continue even after they've been officially and legally been ended by CBS SportsLine. This is one of the most-followed threads. This is probably not where someone would attempt to hide anything.
was that sarcasm? or do people really think rudy is gonna be a better player than bayless? rudys defense is disgusting to watch...
Sorry to inform you but this deal is dead as reported by CBS, the same people who started the rumor. Just because you're an Amare fan doen't make that fact true. Try and hide it as much as you can so you can keep pumping up Amare.
