Amare Thread 6---About to be locked

[Jo Jo English]

He returns.

Kind of a humorous read. Check it out...

Five years later, we can imagine the 2010 game turning into a tribute to what the Suns might have been had they not written the book on how to dismantle a franchise in seven seconds or less:


• Stoudemire, playing his first full season in Chicago, is elected as a surprise starter in the East.

His marketing people arranged off-season camps in China, boosting his popularity there off the charts and assuring a perpetual spot in the All-Star starting lineup via Internet voting.


• Set free to run again in Toronto, Marion joins Stoudemire on the Eastern Conference roster as a reserve. He takes the locker between Stoudemire and Atlanta's Joe Johnson, who is becoming a regular at these All-Star fests.

Let's hope the crystal ball is correct.

Humorous is pretty much the opposite of how Suns fans would receive that article, lol

[HitMan52]

I left when it was at page 109 and it finished at 159 lol

This is true, living in Scottsdale I see a ton of Suns games, it is pretty depressing what the suns have become. "The death of planet orange!"

[Polynice4Pippen]

Well we are now past the point of no return with this Amare thing. No Amare, no peace!

[TASTIC]

BuLLzDoMaIn that's a sweet avatar man

Man Suns management is God awful...thinking about what could have been, I'm lucky the only sharp object around me is a spoon...can't really cut wrists with that...

(That's if Amare's gone that is...)

last post...it's b/c i guessed bullzman23's lucky number of 59 (he told everyone to guess a number btw. 1 and 200), as soon as i guessed it there was a call 2 ben b. to close it at that magical number...which led to bulls social unrest

i'm done. you may proceed with the madness.

I feel like I am dealing crack here, but here's a legitimately new, unlinked to article from the Daily Herald

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=272362

Mostly just summation, but it ends with this insight:

Here's my guess: As of Sunday afternoon, a 60 percent chance the Bulls pass, but it's still too close to call.

If you think that is depressing look at how sad our franchise has become we were the kings of the NBA.

[Beryl 96]

It was pretty funny, especially after rsavaj's post hehe. But I doubt Marion will be staying in Toronto. I agree though that the Suns demise has been a sad affair, summer after summer their moves had me scratching my head, I liked however that they picked up JRich, even though I'd like him to be a Bull, but I think that their failure this season is more than anything Porter's fault. However I'm not saying Porter is a garbage coach, also not saying he's good, but he just wasn't a good fit there, and didn't get a proper chance to see his vision for the team through. You don't change the entire way a team plays, trade away two of the better defenders on the team and add Shaq and just expect the team to work right, right off the bat.

not that thats said, Give us Amare!!!

[Black Jesus]

Black Jesus...you said that the trade was basically agreed upon, but players were being sorted out.

Are you talking about guys like Noah and Sefolosha or fillers like Dudley?

This is the one thing only that makes my head slightly turned. I'm a bit confused too with the best player already being set, but taking forever like this to set other players in the mix that aren't close to Amare's caliber. Things I'll quote from my friend (not word for word but close).....

"The All-Star game made a big impact, Sarver wanted Amare to play regardless, so this may be the reason for delay."
"Kerr is trying to pull in Noah as well as Tyrus who has obviously been mentioned in most trade scenarios."

When will it happen?

"Soon and the highest chance of when it'll be final is Monday, the Suns don't really want Amare to play another game, the All-Star game was the last one they preferred."

Any other questions go ahead. He also said that Sarver is still floating around talking to other GM's "for fun" (I think my friend was just making fun of Sarver's basketball knowledge) over the phone while Kerr is solely set on the Bulls.

May seem like I'm adding things but I'm trying to get everything out even meaningless stuff and I'm pretty tired, it's been a long day after watching a crappy all-star week.

Oh and as I was typing to this quote my laptop shut down so I became PO and my mind went numb for a minute, expect rain and Amare tomorrow if you read this.

[Beryl 96]

Why is the return to chicago bulls button missing...is it cause we broked the realgms with the glory thread?

[SportsWorld]

Thanks for the update Black Jesus. Hopefully later today you will be known as a God on this forum.

By the way are you a Bulls or Suns fan?

[Beryl 96]

God I hope your right black jesus.

[cali2007]

well black jesus, with some calming words before bed

[Black Jesus]

Thanks for the update Black Jesus. Hopefully later today you will be known as a God on this forum.

By the way are you a Bulls or Suns fan?

I am a Suns fan. I have watched every Suns game for 11 years now (26 years old). Stoudemire quickly became my favorite player, I know anything and everything about his personal life and professional career. In fact he's taking a huge slam on the toilet right now! All jokes aside... I hate the way this organization has turned upside down....and for a long time, even through the Dantoni era, I've felt that Amare has never been fully utilized. But now anyone who knows what I'm talking about doesn't have to see it anymore. I will follow my favorite player throughout his career and watch every game he's in, and watch everything he accomplishes. I am a diehard Suns fan though, so it's tough in the back of my mind to see all of this go the way it has. It is truly better for Amare in the long run.

bulllzman23 update:

I've just completed a 70 page play. It's a masterpiece. goodnight.

[Beryl 96]

Yeah it sucks watching your team's ownership screw things up year after year, I'm sure even if we land Amare we'll screw it up and be left with nothing but guys with potential again. And it'll be an even bigger shame when Gordon isn't on the team anymore, I really think Amare/Rose/Gordon would be a championship caliber core.

Amare has been one of my favorite players in the league since like his rookie year, he's on my top 5.

Bullzman congrats on the play. Did you take my advice and make the play be about the Amare threads?

Anyways I'm off for the night, just gotta pray that when I wake up Amare is a Bull.

[BOBBA LUI]

lol...It's funny how some have started idolizing the man w/out anything final. Give Studz some room for his balls to breathe. If you're jocking him this hard now, I wonder what ya'll do if he wins us a championship?
