What I'm not getting is how people are immediately shooting down this rumor. While it's far fetched in my opinion and I'm not sure how Amare would fit with the team, the Spurs get dominated by athletic front courts. Adding Amare definitely evens the playing field. Amare may not be the best defender (to put it nicely) but he could definitely take on the scoring role on one side and let Duncan anchor the defense.
And just having his presence around the rim could help counter the athletic bigs that take Tim on one on three sometimes for a rebound.
They don't want to tank this year because they don't own their first round pick. The only reason they might consider it would be to save even more money if Manu would take a smaller buyout than the remaining money he's owed on the contract. Trading Amare for nothing won't sit well with an already disappointed fan base. Unlikely, but you never know with the Suns.Quote:

This is never gonna happen and if it remotely could I wouldn't really want this to be the trade the Spurs do. Spurs need D in the paint not more scoring and only a big who can play solid D and rebound fits the bill of what is needed.
If something is too good to be true, it probably is. :wakeup
Richard Jefferson, Michael Finley and Matt Bonner for Amar'e Stoudemire and Jared Dudley.
I would rather have Channing Frye........he is so much less of a knucklehead than Amare. Plus, Channing seems a lot more coachable.
If the Spurs could acquire any big man......my choice would be
1. Pau Gasol
2. Brook Lopez
3. Andrew Bynum
Channing Frye sucks ass. And the three players you mentioned would NEVER be traded to the Spurs, ever.Quote:

How could you forget the perfect big man to have next to Tim -- Dwight Howard?
*Jizzes at the thought of our interior defense*
I didnt forget Howard.....but Orlando would be completely brain damaged to let him go.Quote:

Richard Jefferson would average 20+ in Phoenix with Nash.
You can't have RJ. He is a tremendous asset for this time next year with a 15 mil expiring contract. Most teams are trying to create cap space to sign a signature player. The Suns are trying to create cap space by getting rid of a signature player. Want to know your near future? Look in the New Jersey mirror.Quote:
