As in terminally?
I would trade Amare for Dwight in a second
Ricky Davis has mellowed some. He'd be instant offense on their second unit.
I'm thinking that Amare said something very offensive about Leonardo DiCaprio to monosylab1k in order to piss him off so bad. That is the only reason I can think of for him to have such a vendetta against Amare.
I feel, at this point in the thread, the people speaking of Amare like he's a dominant post force should consider that I am not 6' tall and I could probably average 18-20+ PPG at the Power Forward position with Nash as my Point Guard.
As a side bonus, I'd probably play better defense than Amare. Trade him while you can.
And YES, his IQ DOES matter. How can you say it doesn't? Bball IQ is irreplaceable. Amare has zilch. He doesn't know when to turn it on, and he basically lives to blow teams out in the regular season. No self-control, no willingness to play hard defense for a full 48... exactly what does this guy do besides dunk the ball and grab a few rebounds (which will decline drastically as his knees go) that makes you all worship him as one of the best bigs in the league?
The Spurs just showcased why you can't have players who don't play D. So did the Warriors in their rout of the Mavs. It just doesn't work. Boozer was a dominant force in the playoffs until the Spurs put pressure on him -- then he was nowhere to be seen.
Amare needs to completely change his game to even be considered a great post player.
No disrespect but this is the WC,not the East,they need more tham that to beat the Spurs or Mavs.
oh, and someone comparing him to an underprivileged kid trying to make it in life as a doctor is somehow relevant?
Hey when does your next prison term start?
Yes, it has to do with his drive to succeed.
Need more than that? If a team needs more than that to get to the Finals they wont ever get there. The mavs dont even have the kind of fire power the Suns do
if you could be a better NBA player than Amare then I suggest you get a good agent, and fast. which team should I expect to see you playing with? I CALL FUCKING BULLSHIT. Go fuck yourself with that bullshit.
Gimme a break. 3 all stars, a defensive first team player, and the 6th man of the year isn't enough? That's plenty. Give someone like Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, and Pop those pieces and the S0ns would have a championship already.
Which is incredibly suspect to a guy who spent an entire season with the team and wrote a book about it.
For once, I agree with you. I think our main problem is coaching.
Is he going to take up ping-pong or buy a shrimp boat?
Agree with this 100%
For some reazon people in this thread aren not considering that Garnett in 2 yrs will be an old Peace of crap,while Amare will probably be in his prime,winning the MVP of the year.
Jesus,get real!!
I'll take his obvious improvement on the court + his extremely successful recovery from microfracture surgery over the opinion of one writer. As smart as Jack McCallum is, he was an outsider looking in.
If Amare had developmental problems, the Suns wouldn't hesitate in doing this deal with KG.
Only if it's Amare and KG... we don't need two players (Marion and KG) disappearing in the playoffs.
Amare and KG would = domination... in fact the T-Wolves should be forced to make this trade as a part of the Joe Smith punishment.
if his knees hold up
“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” James said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”
he had to email it to howard could not tell someone in person that
which is why he was named an assistant coach for the preseason and road with D'Antoni to team practices and games.
in fact he quotes D'antoni on alot of those instances where Stoudemire's "drive to succeed" is questioned.

he's gonna jog across America just cuz he feels like running.
you seemed to forgot the most important part buddy.
BAD COACH
That´s something that the spurs and Mavs are good at,and At the end of the day,eather brake it or make it.
My attorney has "$450 per hour" tattooed on his neck. What's the diff?![]()

That drive was questioned in regards to his physical rehabilitation, something that can be crippling emotionally and mentally.
As far as basketball goes, Amare lacks no motivation.
Yeah - if he could develop the back-to-the basket game of KG, then the Suns wouldn't need to make this trade at all.
And for some reason you keep blowing how good Amare is way out of proportion and acting like KG isnt shit. The last time KG was in the playoffs, he averaged 23 points, 15 boards, 5 assists, and 2 blocks a game. Add Nash to the mix, and he would be almost unstoppable. I have to ask again, have you ever even seen KG play?
You are super gay, monosylab. And not in the good way.
So you just going to keep making different excuses everytime someone proves you wrong?
