Take it for what it's worth.

Dear Fucking God. This is seriously the worst feeling I've ever had as a basketball fan.

[redzero]

The Suns seem to be gifting everything to the Cavs.

[Jeremy]

Well, the "reporter" can't even spell Stoudemire, so I'm still sorta taking it with a bit of a grain of salt, but we'll see.

:lol

[Xylus]

Please please please let this be false. It's Bleacher Report, so I remain hopeful...

[Jeremy]

We'll just have to wait and see if any other sources confirm this, I guess.

What would be your ideal realistic trade for Amare?

What would be your ideal realistic trade for Amare?

I don't want to trade Amare. If I have to trade Amare, though, I'd do this:

Amare to MIA for Beasley, QRich (expiring), Dorell Wright, and a 1st rounder. Flip Beasley to a bottom-feeder for another expiring contract and another 1st rounder.

[DJ Mbenga]

i wonder what that reliable source is for the camby deal. oh wait your source is no insider its just espn!

So basically expiring contracts and two first rounders, Did the Cavs offer a draft pick?

[Obstructed_View]

I don't understand why the Suns wouldn't be interested in Michael Beasley, but are somehow interested in JJ HIckson.

The Cavs didn't offer a pick.

The expiring contracts could be used to sign a free agent during the offseason, and both draft picks would be in the Top 20. Plus, I think Wright could be a good rotation player once Grant Hill retires (which could be soon).

It's completely fucking retarded, I agree. And I'm not even a big fan of Beasley.

[HarlemHeat37]

The deal might happen, but using Bleacher Report as a source is horrible..they're worse than Hoopsworld..can't ANYBODY write an article on BR?..

I was wondering the same damn thing...

[BRHornet45]

sons if I was a Suns fan I wouldn't want to trade Amare. yes, he is a black hole with a mindset and low basketball IQ that I am all too familiar with in having David West ... but I wouldn't move him just yet. not for this crap deal.

Amare is said to be a complete dickhead behind the scenes and a VERY ignorant/uneducated man, but I would hold on to him for something better. he puts up better numbers than Kobe Bryant who is worshiped by many of you on here.

I'm sorry and I say this with all due respect..



But not with your fucking owner....

Why would u want a player that can drive & create his own shot consistently when you could have the next Karl Malone :lmaolmao at kerr & jewboy if this is true

[DAF86]

The Cavs didn't offer a pick.

WTF? How can you trade a player like Amare without getting a first round pick?

[Steve Kerr]

Son I even surprise myself with the level of stupidity I demonstrate on a daily basis.

[tomtom]

its been deleted so most likely deal is not confirmed

[duncan228]

...can't ANYBODY write an article on BR?..

I think so.

[timvp]

BleacherReport was created to give HoopsWorld something to look down at.

[j.dizzle]

LOL at bleacher report..man the internet is some bullshit these days.

[bigdog]

BR is just a website for bloggers. A blogger is reporting this. It's retarded.

[Xylus]

Sweet Jesus!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'll be a Suns fan till I/they die, but there's only so much a fan can take. If Amare is traded for this kind of garbage it's gonna be hard to support this team in the near future.

LOL son that jewboy owner you got there doesnt realize ppl will stop buying season tickets & merchandise when the team doesnt get to the playoffs anymore

Son I'm Jewish and let me say it sickens me to be associated with Robert Sarver in that way......he does everything he possibly can to promote the stereotype that Jews are slimy, stingy, dirty people.

People were mentioning that they were sure that it was true because Bleacher Report is 100% reliable. Little do they know it took me like 20 minutes to sign up and write that and my author name was Whyso Serious. I guess they could trust someone with a name of Whyso Serious though.

What a bastard. Ha.

"WOW WOW WOW
This season is a wrap...lebrons about to get his ring.
I wish I could see the lakers and their fans faces right now!"

[pauls931]

I'll only believe it if Dragic and some first rounders are thrown in, then it'll sound more Sarver like to me... Can't some rich arabs buy the team?

[XFactor]

I think its a fluke because I doubt Cleveland would be talking about other trades after making the amare trade

Dear Fucking God. This is seriously the worst feeling I've ever had as a basketball fan.

I know how it feels. The Indians were up 3-1 vs the Red Sox 2 years ago and had 3 games to win a single game to go to the World Series (which they would have won easily).....now they have traded away 2 Cy Young pitchers and one of the most beloved players since the great 90's teams (Victor Martinez) away for a bunch of shit prospects.

[D2Procon]

They trying to build a dynasty and possibly compete with the Lakers.

They beat the lakers twice :lol

[Rogue]

Where was Donnie setting his muzzle at while the Cavs were negotiating a deal that would bring them a perennial all-star for the only exchanges of some salary occupiers and a projected "future hall of famer" in JJ Hickson. It won't get you anywhere near the Lakers with such a trade as Drew/Smokey for Haywood/Butler one, and the idiots are bound to find the previous trade didn't add any serious benefit to their squad but some minor amendments that can only escalate the Mavs parallel to Nuggets at finest. While once facing the Lakers, their fate will remain the same and function as usual with Mavs being curbstomped due to the lack of in-paint powers, something they could have absorbed from acquring Amaré.

Fuck you Donnie Nelson, Fuck you Mark Cuban.

[D2Procon]

So did Orlando.

So I guess the Lakers should be upgrading their team to compete with the Cavs :lmao

Shut it.

[Chillen]

On Thursday Denver vs Cleveland is on TNT, if this happens before that game and Amare plays, that would be quite an amazing debut. Not sure if this trade will go down, but to start an NBA title hunt with LeBron on TNT would be badass.

it could be worst, you could be a wizz fan and see the FO of your team trade butler and haywood for J howard.

Monday passed and Stoudemire joined teammate Steve Nash on an evening flight to Memphis where they joined their Suns teammates in preparation for tonight's game at Memphis.
:lol

[Jeremy]

:lol

Haha, that's what I was thinking, too. I thought last night that maybe someone saw him at the airport and just assumed. LOL.
