Is this team officially becoming "Amare's team"?

JO was never part of their future.

JO was never part of their future.

What do you mean? JO at max surely not, but JO at Rasheed Wallace or Dice price could make him part of their 'future'.

[lilfishi22]

As in they never had intentions of resigning him, unless they get him at an absolute bargain like below-MLE price.

We didn't want to trade because J-Rich doesn't feature in our plans, nor do most of the players we would then hold bird rights for.

In all honesty, I see Miami going hard for Amar'e (or Bosh, but now it seems more likely to be Amar'e), then trading & signing players to fill the gaps.

Something like:

PG: FA - $3m / Arroyo - $1m / Chalmers - $1m
SG: Wade - $17m / Cook - $2.2m
SF: Q-Rich - $2m / Rookie - $1.5m
PF: Amar'e - $16.5m / Beasley - $5m
C: FA* - $5m / Joel Anthony - $1m

*Most likely to go after Camby, if not, our 2 firsts could be traded.

This team has been Nash's team since 04, as Nash goes so do the Suns.

If it's true that Wade and LBJ only care about winning multiple titles than LBJ should go to Miami.
Arroyo(re-sign), Chalmers
Wade, Cook
Lebron, Wright(re-sign)
Beasley, 1st Round pick
Camby, 1st Round pick

Amare to Chicago.

Bump

Just another game where Amare absolutely carries us to the win.

This is Amare's team since 2months. It is becoming really evident. Everyone accepted him as the main guy now.

Thinking back just 2-3 years ago when Bell absolutely refused to pass the ball to Amare, and LB unable to, you know how long the Suns wasted on the talent that's Amare.

The biggest regret is not having someone able to play center along side him. Amare's production when paired with someone able to help him inside defensively and on the boards is unreal.
