Suns get: Rasheed, Flip Murray

Pistons get: Amare & free up room for CWebb

This trade sucks almost as much as that game in your avi.

Right, because Detroit wouldn't do it otherwise.

Rasheed can guard Duncan, Dirk & other bigs, Amare can't. The Suns are only title contenders as long as Nash is as good as he is and Rasheed's deal is up after next year, which helps the always cost concious Suns. They also add a guard they had been talking about who expires after this year. There have also been issues with Amare lately.

Pistons do it for obvious reasons.

Aye, one ESPN tabloid writer mentions it as a hypothetical and now a few people actually think its a feasable idea. Second such idea today.

The Pistons would LOVE to get Amare, but why on earth do the Suns do this? Keep in mind, they were apprehensive about dealing Amare for KG, and nothing's happened to reduce Amare's value since then.

Amare is a pipedream for the Pistons, and probably the other 28 teams too. Amare is too good a player to give up just to matchup better against one player or two defensively.

I thought it was crazy when I read it on ESPN but I didn't see where it was on the board. The fact that I'm a Pistons fan made me come up with some sort of reason Phoenix would do it.
