KTB Entry: Phoenix / Toronto Blockbuster
Posted: Fri Jan 2, 2009 10:05 pm
It's been a while since I've made a post here, but he goes nothing.
Obviously this deal doesn't get done unless both Toronto doesn't feel like Bosh will resign and Phoenix doesn't like Amare's attitude. I think it's a fair trade though.
Phoenix Suns Receive:
PF Chris Bosh
WHY IT COULD WORK FOR PHOENIX?
PG: Steve Nash / Goran Dragic
SG: Jason Richardson / Leandro Barbosa
SF: Grant Hill / Matt Barnes / Alando Tucer
PF: Chris Bosh / Jared Dudley / Louis Amundson
C: Shaquille O'Neal / Robin Lopez
The Phoenix Suns have not liked the recent outburst out of Amare. Amare and the Suns organization hare beginning to have a rift in between the two of them. Amare is not content with how the offense is ran and feels that he along with the rest of Suns players would do better in a more wide open attack. He feels more free reign on the offensive side of the ball will allow the Suns to exceed more. Chris Bosh on the other hand is probably a better fit for the more slow, methodical offense of Terry Porter. Chris is an excellent match with Shaq as he's able to step away from the basket and score.
Toronto Raptors Receive:
C Amare Stoudamire
WHY IT COULD WORK FOR TORONTO?
PG: Jose Calderon / Will Solomon / Roko Ukic
SG: Anthony Parker / Joey Graham / Hassan Adams
SF: Jamario Moon / Jason Kapono
PF: Jermaine O'Neal / Andrea Bargnani / Kris Humphries
C: Amre Stoudamire / Nathan Jawai
The Jermaine O'Neal-Chris Bosh expereiment really isn't working out the way the Raptors would have hoped. They won't get anywhere near fair value for Jermaine, so they try their luck moving Bosh who could threaten to leave the Raptors organization for nothing. Amare is probably better suited playing with Jermaine as Jermaine is a better a little bit aways from the basket where as Amare's forte is around the basket. Amare is reunited with Bryan Colangelo.
Chris and Amare have similar contracts that both end up at the same time. Amare is just two years older at 26 than Bosh who is 24. I think this is a very fair trade.
