Adande said it was the Rockets that made a late push

[sunsfever68]

They better take Amare to the restaurant of his choice and treat him like a king. As I love Lucy would go, Amare would say to Kerr


Stevvvvviee you got some splainin to dooooooooooooooooo!

budinger+pick would be nice

[BurningHeart]

Why the **** weren't we talking with Houston from the beginning?!

Amare/J-Rich for McGrady, Landry, Budinger, and a pick.

[ruiner]

Thank God. Probably was more crap offered.

SIGN HIM TO AN EXTENSION TONIGHT.

I would not be surprised if this is what comes out of it.

If they weren't that close as they were, I probably wouldn't be saying it.

Wow, stop breathing my oxygen.

Assuming the Rockets were the final team, the deal would have had to be something like Amare for Hayes/Battier/Cook/Lowry just for money to work.

Ew.

Jeez. No one offered crap for Amare. I'd rather keep him with a 70% chance of extending him than going into next season with Nash/JRich/Duds/Lopez/? and a bench guy like Hickson or Budinger (plus a late round pick). That team would be unwatchable and there's no guarantee any star would be coming here once JRich came off the books.

Amare is better than any FA we could sign with the MLE of cap space we would get by trading him now. Even if we had $20 million of space, Amare is better than anyone we would likely sign (only Lebron, Bosh and Wade are better - and they aren't coming here).

If we extend Amare or he picks up his option (I'd put at atleast 70-80+%), then the team did exactly what they should have.

If he walks for nothing, then the team failed miserably.

But I think if reports are true that the Suns and Amare aren't different on money, but years, we can expect an extension to come soon.

Kerr was just on NBATV

Said:
- No good deals came along that made us better now and in the future
- When asked about deals like CLE, stated that offers were not good enough for their All-star caliber player. (At least he had the balls to say no to crap deals)
- Acknowledged the risk of Amare opting out
- Thinks relationship with Amare is still amicable.
- Mentions how well liked Amare is in the locker room.
- Did not mention extension talks (Still hope? )
- Mentioned being a player in 2011 FA
(I still believe this is a good plan considering the pending new CBA)
- Stated goal was to make the playoffs this year and hopefully do some damage
- Another goal was to develop our younger players like Lopez, Dudley, Clark
(Funny he forgot to mention Dragic)

Amare would've already been extended if Sarvar had cave in and gave him another 2 year on his extension, reportedly around 14 mil per.

Maybe not enough time then. Basically told him before last night's game he wasn't going anywhere.

They meet tonight and can talk more about it. Or find a middle ground. Plenty of time now.

Yeah, they can extend him at any time. There's no real deadline, I don't think.

[BurningHeart]

Two things;

Wow! Arles! Nice to see ya, haven't seen you in a long while!

And I'm going to say it----in this instance, I'm REALLY proud of Steve Kerr. Stand your ground, dumbass. Always stand your ground.

[ruiner]

Or he knows Dragic has already arrived!
