Forget Shaq go after Amare...

[BVPN]

First off, just because I do not know, would it not be easier to re-sign Amare to a new contract if he was already on our team...and if not his contract will still expire for us right?

Anyway...

Suns/Cavs trade:
Amare/Lopez/Dragic
for
Ben/Sasha/JJ/2009 1st and 2010 1st (lets face it, I plan to be drafting at the very end of the draft from now on so there won't ever be much there to help.)

Mo/Dragic/Boobie
West/Boobie/Dragic
Lebron
Amare/Andy
Z/Lopez

plus we have a little money to spend on one guy *cough* Carlie Villanueva *cough*.

what do you think?

The Suns could probably trade Amare to the Wiz for some package involving the #5 pick, so I' not sure why they would trade him for this package, even if DWest was involved.

WOW cavs players on this board are OVER RATED. It's so weird cuz everyone besides cavs fans believes that cavs have no talent on their team. I dont think u will find to many teams that would swap their starters for cavs starters even if they could do it for free.

well its settled then...no one wants lebron - we'll just hang on to him

You know what I'm talking about. Everyone (not a cavs fan) thinks of the cavs in 2 senses
lebron and THE REST OF THEM.

Name any one starter on your team ( just for you ^^^) would start for any other team? NOt name lebron.

The answer is no one or very very very long to try to nitpick an answer.

I can think of about 6-8 teams that Mo Williams or Delonte West would easily start on.

oh i knew what you were talking about and yes we know its lebron and the rest of the team - you act like this is the first time we are hearing it like it was some big secret

but all of our starters would each start for about 6-8 teams each (maybe not the idiot flopper)...the way you talk, lebron should be proclaimed god for getting this god-awful team as far as he did

Maybe Danny first asked about Amare and as told Shaq's the best we can get...

Either way, Danny Boy needs to go. The writing's on the wall by now. He's got no vision to anticipate - Shaq was on the table in February and could have been had for Wally + some of the young guys. Guarantee we would have been in the finals at the very least.

Now the writing's on the wall that we need big man help desperately and Danny's best solution is Shaq...give me a break...

No actually he did the smart thing by not trading Wally's contract for Shaq. There was not guarantee he would have put us in the Finals. Imagine a Front court of Ben Wallace and Shaq??? Oh man... They would just have put us on the line most of the game yeeeesh. And then give them young talent on top of that??? We're trying to younger... Not older

Honestly, not to be mean, but you don't have anything that would be enough for Amare(excluding LeBron obviously) imo

[mg]

Thanks for letting us know rsavaj.
Looks like Shaq is headed here anyway. At least Windhorst seems to think so.

The Cavs should have built a core of Williams, Vince, Bron, Amare and gave up EVERY piece they had, their first in 2009 and 2011 and as many seconds as they could. That would keep LeBron there.

What does 24 year old LeBron want??? How about a 37 year old running mate???!!!???

That's just nuts.

I've had a good chance to see Amare play through thick and thin, and he doesn't have an attitude I'd want on this team. Very happy to avoid Amare
