Amare to Cleveland

[scanry]

That's almost as one-sided as the Gasol deal.

I think it's even worse.

Stern is smiling as we speak.

[endrity]

If this happens it's because this is Sarver calling the shots, not Kerr. And that means that with Wally's huge expiring deal, he wants to save a lot of money. If it's Kerr calling the shots, no way he doesn't accept the deal that Portland is offering centering around Aldrige. But from what I have read, it seems like Sarver wants to save money in the recession, and so I guess he will take the Cleveland offer.

What's great for the Cavs is that next year, they also have a huge expiring contract from Ben Wallace, and with Amare in the team they already have the big man they wanted so Wallace can be dealt for a huge piece next year as well.

I know very well Amare's shortcomings, especially on defense which is what the Cavs have prided themselves on, but this is one scenario where I could see him get serious about it. As much as he loves himself, he knows LeBron is and will be a bigger star, so he can't say much about being the Man, but he also might understand that the best way for him to go down in history will be by winning a few rings alongside LeBron.

LMAO!

Steve Kerr is a former Cav. Collusion.

Steve Kerr is also a moron, which could just as easily be an explanation.

[JamStone]

The word "reliable" gets tossed around quite a bit around this time.

Not saying there's no way it goes down, but I find it pretty unlikely.

[xtremesteven33]

I doubt it happens.

Cleveland REALLY needs a SG. Vince Carter would be perfect for them.

[Austin_Toros]

the Gasol equivalent of the Eastern Conference!

No they dont.

[jack sommerset]

Please tell me this is true. I'm loving Kerr more and more

[ManuTP9]

anything can happen

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I mean it could be totally bogus, but it could be true- I just know that poster and he doesn't just make up

LOL, this is classic. First, off VERY RELIABLE sources report it. Then, it turns into, "This could be made up but it could be true." A week from now we'll forget about this thread.

Bill Simmons wrote that:

J.J. Hickson: My favorite under-the-radar rookie and a legitimate 2009 Playoff X Factor. If he played for the Lakers, L.A. fans would be comparing him to a young Karl Malone right now.

How cute, now please explain why that matters.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

And Amare wouldn't help Cleveland at all. Within a week he'd be ing about how Lebron hurts his gorilla game and how he wants to be GORILLA MAN!!!

[turiaf for president]

yea i call bs. the suns have said they dont want just to get an expiring contract. they wanted a young stud, expiring contracts and draft picks. hickson is far from a stud, and the cavs picks are too appealing.

Well I guess since Bill Simmons said Hickson is a stud, he's a stud. At least Thunder Dan thinks so anyway.

The thread starter is close to the team. He's a reliable source whether you want him to be or not.

[J Zone]

lmaooooo oo

why in the would phoenix themselves over like this.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The thread starter is close to the team. He's a reliable source whether you want him to be or not.

How do you know he's close to the team? Because he said so?

He's probably just a 15 year old nerd who needs attention and likes to fabricate rumors.

Has there ever been a trade before that he told you guys about early on?

[Kobe™]

I see no logic in this.

oh snapppp. ok ill just shut up then

[Ghazi]

Well, expiring contracts, young talent (Hickson), and possibly even draft picks.

Makes sense, but... Hickson? really

Portland and Chicago could field better packages than that.

I will say, if Amare somehow winds up in Cleveland, it's over for the league.

We can surmise Amare will ruin team chemistry, ruin the team with his ego, etc etc.

but to get such a talent without giving out anything of substance, when your team is already 40-11. Just wowza

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Amare will do for Cleveland what Terrell Owens did for the Philadelphia Eagles.
