The reason Mchale is leaving Minny?

[celtics543]

If we get Big Al back somehow, you wouldn't be able to wipe the smile off my face.

If Minny sent Al to us, we sent Ray/Rondo to Phoenix, and Phoenix sent Amare to Minny, that sounds like the start of a potential deal. I think that us and Minny would end up with draft picks, take your pick as to which ones go where though.

The injury debate is a wash but the 6th pick? That throws it straight to Phoenix's favor, hands down.

Why does everyone always think when a guy is rumored to be traded to another team somehow Ainge is in on it and we could get him? Wade, Jefferson? Anyone think Phoenix wants Jefferson? No three-way for you!!! Next!!!

Because Ainge has a well deserved reputation as an active trader.. He gets in on ALOT of deals. Last season was an exception. I expect a return to form.

I agree with you,but with the rumors that Danny was trying to get Stoudemaire it just makes sense that Danny would somehow try to get in on this.

Love Big Al, but Stoudemire's better

At what? Offense? Defense? Rebounding? Character and work ethic?

[mwhis21]

They are both equally matched:

Al is an inside player and Amare is an outside player: Both of their defenses leave something to be desired. I will give Al the leg up on Character and Work Ethic.

All told Al has a better contract so he gets the nod.
