Alll Amare Talk Here: Thread 7

[garrick]

Players I would love to have on Phoenix?

Al Thornton, Nick Young, Thaddeus Young, Nenad Krstic, Jeff Green, Wilson Chandler, Corey Brewer, Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Carl Landry, Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Kelenna Azubuike, Aaron Afflalo, Dirk Nowitzki, Joakim Noah, Leon Powe, Jamario Moon, Al Horford


Some are completely free, some are restricted. Some we have no real "shot" at so I didn't bother listing them.

You want Corey Brewer? Ugh, that guy is athletic but can't shoot.

[Jdiddy701]

I don't know if you guys know this, but Kerr tried to trade Amare to Spurs for Blair, and George Hill. Spurs said no.

[BurningHeart]

Corey Brewer could probably be turned into a defensive beast.

And I don't know if I'd do that Spurs deal. I'm wary of doing ANYTHING with the Spurs.

I like both those players but i doubt it's true.

Any links to the source?

From SI

Phoenix Suns
• No moves

• Skinny: The Suns remind me of Carl Spackler in Caddyshack: They made a lot of noise but they got nothing done. Now they have a disconsolate star big man in Stoudemire, who knows the organization neither wants him nor wants to pay him. They have a bunch of players who were expecting a deal. And they have to play out the remainder of the season with a false smile covering their grimaces.

[Jdiddy701]

Barring an unexpected trade offer materializing in the final few hours, Amar’e Stoudemire’s agent expects him to remain with the Phoenix Suns for the rest of the season.

As a Suns source told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday, a trade with the Miami Heat is a “longshot, at best.”

“He’s staying here,” the Suns source said.

Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters, had several tense conversations with Suns general manager Steve Kerr on Wednesday after talks between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns ended.

Everyone kept waiting for a sleeper to steal Amar’e Stoudemire in the last hours prior to the trade deadline. How about the San Antonio Spurs? After all, they had privately considered making a bid for Stoudemire.

Still, while the Spurs and Suns did have a cursory conversation in this process, discussions never got going because San Antonio is unwilling to move two of its best young players, guard George Hill and forward DeJuan Blair.

Stoudemire is unhappy with the way he’s been jerked around the last few trade deadlines, and it will undoubtedly be an uncomfortable final several weeks with the Suns.

[Mr. Sun]

Interesting Riley said Beasley was never offered and Traxxe's source said he was.

[Blackification]

I agree with what barkley said... I would be glad to see him as GM after kerr is fired at the end of the season.. it would be entertaining at least.

[DirtyDez]

Wow Amare has terrible value.

[DaDragicShow]

I don't know if you guys know this, but Kerr tried to trade Amare to Spurs for Blair, and George Hill. Spurs said no.

Trade Amare to a contender? So stupid.

[Wade County]

Wow Amare has terrible value.

I don't think he has bad value at all as a player, I just think the fact that he is 20'something regular seasons games away from being a free agent makes him difficult to receive value for in a trade.

Did barkley say something about the suns? sorry I missed it I was at work

Yea he said Kerr made a bad move and he said amare is the 4th best person in free agency and amare will probably leave for nothing and his value is going to be even worse because he is pretty much a free agent. He then said if he was a GM he would not sign a player for a 100 million contract unless they were contending.

[Nando88]

i'm hopping on the bandwagon with kerrsed

BARKLEY FOR SUNS GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BurningHeart]

**** Barkley. I don't want that guy anywhere NEAR my team. He's talked **** on us since he left, and especially since he signed on with TNT.

And there are very good reasons for Kerr standing his ground. I'm proud he did.

[Jdiddy701]

BARKLEY FOR SUNS GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was first to say this

[Sandra]

**** Barkley, yes. Is he ever even sober?

[RaisingArizona]

Barkley for GM!

[sunfire0112]

Call me crazy but I'd prefer if Kerr stayed. He may suck at trades but at least he showed some balls and stood his ground. That's a step in the right direction.

Barkley as GM scares me because I get the feeling the first thing he'd do is blow up the team, even though he'd have no idea what to do afterward. He just doesn't have the savvy or personal skills to be a good GM. I do agree that Barkley as GM would be entertaining as hell.

If that happens we might as well make Thunder Dan our future head coach.
