When does Tmac expire? My other question is why would they want to see Amare for the 5+ years kicking ass next to Yao and Ron Ron? I think our deal for amare is better of course.

Good info Ed. So if PHO is looking to save money our deal is about 20 mill better.

T-mac expires this year just like Ray and nearly 75% of the NBA.

While Yao and Amare is scary the reality is Yao might be screwed his foot is still a mess.

If this is true we could definitely get Amare. Ray+Rondo is a better deal than the rockets one...but I would want their 14th pick also, so we could draft a PG...I would also expect Ray to be bought out and then resign here...

Where are all the people from the trade deadline who deplored Amare as a no-defense paper tiger?

Phoenix would keep Ray. They still have to sell tickets down there in Phoenix. For Ray to get a buyout, he would have to pout for one, and IMO, he's just too much of a professional to whine his way out.
