I think it might be fun to predict some of the cliche catch phrases that will be used to spin the trade when it goes down to sway as many as you die harders to stick around for the next glory period which of course is right around the corner

Mine are the dreaded "future financial flexibility"
or the ever popular, "we didnt feel we were good enough to win it all anyway, so we decided to build for the future"
.. or the we've always been willing to spend the money but with the new CBA looming we felt this gave us the best chance to build for the future.
Then there's the blame it on the player angle.."we didnt think he wanted to be here, and felt it best to get something in return for him now" in otherwords the JJ spin

I hope Kerr looks disgusted as he tries to sell this crap. I will find some solace in that.

Hopefully we hear two possible phrases: "We're glad to sign our franchise player up to a big deal. With this news, we know we have a bright future." or "We're glad to introduce Andre Iguodala, a very talented player to the Suns."

On the bright side, at least we won't be seeing them parading Amare around on draft night as an excuse for why we traded our pick...seeing as how we won't have Amare or our draft pick. lol.

Kerr: "Really, in all honesty, I am secretly working for the Spurs. Take that Phoenix!!" *Jumps on the conference table* Kerr pulls one of these shenanigans (at 18-23 seconds) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsS5KzCot1M

I think it would be awesome if Kerr just breaks down, details all the trades he could have done and would have done if he wasn't handcuffed by his owner's stupidity, curses Sarver out, and resigns.

He should come clean :

"Um, Danny Ferry gives awesome BJs!"

"We just couldn't find consistency as a group, and I don't want to hear about how we haven't had the same rotation as when we were 14-3, with Barbosa and J-Rich playing pre-injury, and we think J-Rich's contract is a perfectly fine one. We just couldn't ever mesh together. We think giving away Amare will give us the freedom we need in the next 3 to 5 years to hopefully sucker someone into playing in a post-Nash/Stat Suns era. Well, keep your fingers crossed at least. I'll be long gone by then, suckers!"

What I'd like to hear: "We're tanking for Perry Jones next year"

What's most likely said: "This brings us financial flexibility for the future"

"in light of recent threats on our lives we like to announce that we will be moving the franchise to san diego, to become the San Diego Suns"

"A visibly emotional Steve Kerr broke down while addressing the media at a press conference to announce the Amar'e Stoudamire trade. Kerr, unshaven and slurring his words, said "We had a chance to add a talented young player and gain financial flexibility moving forward" before breaking down and weeping.
"I can't do this," Kerr said. "I'm sick of all the lies. It's all turned to **** ... I need a drink."

I bet he tries to sell some BS that "We see some Amare in JJ, he's going to be a building block and we think he and Robin will be our frontline for a long time"

They're both tall black men who play basketball, that's about it

I would not mind that to be honest. If Kerr is going down, he should do the fans a favor by taking Sarver with him, somehow.

I will throw up in my mouth if anything of that nature is quoted.

Pretty much, if he uses the word "financial," you know the deal can't be good. :-?
