I would.
Why?
Cause the Suns aren't gonna trade him to SA.
So you would rather keep playing Bonner??

it would be scary
Forget Shaq
Forget Amare
Who do we have to trade to get Robin Lopez and/or Grant Hill?
Grant Hill makes like $2 mil. No possible way he gets traded.
I hope Amare Stoudemire gets traded to the East, so he gets ed out of playing in the All-Star Game. Which, by the way, is in Phoenix.
I think he will be traded after the allstar break.
would udoka & KT for Lopez work?
Yeah, the trade deadline's a few days after the All-Star Break, so you're probably right.
The Suns are reportedly NOT looking to trade Amare for an established star, such as Chris Bosh. The organization is looking for the following three things:
1. HIGH draft pick
2. Expiring contract
3. Young prospect
Not a lot of teams have all three of these things.
Trust me when I tell you this: You don't want Robin Lopez. Dude's awful.
genius !
I do not think the Spurs will go for Amare, unless by some miracle he decides that he needs to learn how to play defense and will listen to Pop.
I don't see the possibility of getting Amare, but in an alternate universe where Isaih was in charge I'd like it if Pop traded Vaughn, Ime, and cash for him. Anything more would be a waste, because it is possible that even the CIA Pop couldn't brainwash STAT into playing D.
If they think the Spurs own them now, wait until they get rid of Amare.
Are you for real or just saying that for discouragement based on the potential of him becoming the future starting center of the Suns?
If the former, maybe he would enjoy a fresh start and thrive under Pop's system.
I will say this. I think Amare is coachable.
Stoudamire to SA is a pipe dream at best.
Agree 1000%.
Brook on the other hand has got ALOT of potential and I think is gonna be damn good.
For everyone that keeps campaigning for the Spurs to somehow jump into the trade fray for Amare, why would you want this guy? Sure he's talented, but he's a malcontent, doesn't rebound, block shots or play defense. Besides the Spurs not having any tradeable assets (which would literally kill any possible deal), why would you want this head case on your team?
It's all falling apart in PHX. Just when they managed to get the ball onto the green on #17, it rolls off the back and into the water.
"And one"
The question is, will they hit the drop ball close to the hole, or start pulling a Roy McAvoy.

now is blazers' chance. lafrentz's expiring contract + aldridge for stoudemire. stoudemire doesn't rebound, block shots, or play defense but oden can. blazers have enough defensive bigmen to cover stoudemire. this will speed up the blazers' development because they will have 2 all stars on their team after this trade. just will need to develop one more.
Doubtfull the Suns trade him within the conference...
yagottabekiddin. Have you SEEN LaMarcus play? Dude is a stud and turning into a real NBA player. Amare would poison the Blazers.
...for the Lazy Acres old folks' home.
Are we (as Spurs fans) delusional enough to think that we have ANY real trade ammo outside of the big 3 and the three expiring contracts (Finley, Vaughn, Udoka). Nobody's going to give up an All-Star-caliber player for a bunch of role players. , our three expiring contracts only add up to about $4.8 million, so we don't really have a lot of leverage there, either.
Amare's a one-trick pony anyways. He's Antonio McDyess and Shawn Kemp all over again. All three are/were absolute freaks who are/were in a class of their own and dominate(d) the game based on that fact alone. They dunk and they jump. And not much else.
One Amare hits his physical peak (Kemp) or gets injured (McDyess), that fall is going to come hard and fast. At least Kemp understood the concepts of timing on help defense and rebounding. Amare doesn't even get that.
I'd love to have him, but not at the kind of price he will command.
If the Suns could pull it off, I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. Aldridge will be a monster for another decade and isn't LaFrentz's contract something like $13 million?
Whatever it is, I know it's huge. Suns would come out waaaay ahead.

LOL, do you watch basketball?
I wouldn't trade a bag of potato chips for Lopez.
