Not to DoK.lol liking Amare more than Hill.
Lights been out in San Antonio for years now...
Other than at least a failed elimination games Finals appearance Sarver never had any intention of giving Amare the max. Amare is too stupid to know that, but, I bet his people know it and have clued him in.
Kerr is a sneaky little prick and has been stringing it along meticulously.
That's all over now. It's super max time.
They ain't gonna pay it. Amare is too leaky a vessel to sink $140 million into and EVERYONE knows it, but, nary a word is uttered about it cept on these type Boards and Sose's Joint. Even Media is in bed with Sarver and the cone of silence has been dropped and abided.
This is why I felt that when the Suns went to the WCF it provided enough for another team to give Amare the max. There are just too many teams with money verses elite level players for him to not get the max. Even when the Suns finally beat the Spurs they lose.
Somebody would've given Amare the max if the Suns hadn't made the playoffs. Sure, we're keen to the ring count, but, foremost it's business, and Amare is good business. He'll goose the gate and sell mucho wampum.
In actual reality, Amare is the pick of the free agent litter.
And his people know it.
Yup, Grant Hill is a mutha in beast! Hill > Amare
And he's not gonna get that long a contract with Phoenix which I'm ok with, I just hope now they rebuild instead of try to quick fix it with Loozer or Dirk.
And when the Spurs lose to the Suns, they really lose!
he wants the max? kerr better open that door for him on the way out
Question is how much is Amare worth. He's a very good player no doubt, but we all know he's probably not getting the max. Honestly, only Lebron and D-Wade deserve the max this offseason. Bosh and Amare are a tier below IMO.
Obviously, there will be a lockout after this up-coming season with the owners hoping to completely change the CBA. So how much will any owner be willing to pay Amare this offseason? Would any here give him more than a one year 10 million salary?
you dumbass he wasn't saying goodnight, goodbye, he was saying good night, fortuitous evening.
Did it start the year we won the le, the year we went to the WCF, or the year our #2 option DNP in the playoffs?
Good God, a Spursdom pity party is about to commence.
I didn't understand the point of his post until you said this.
He's the only one who read it the other way. Clearly, Hill at 3.2M is a bargain and Amare at the max would be an albatross. So, yes a very fortunate evening for the Phoenix Suns.
My OFFICIAL Offseason prediction:
Lebron stays.
Wade stays.
Bosh to Miami.
Amare to New York.
Joe Johnson to New York.
NY is going to get desperate when they cant Lebron or Wade and is going to offer MAX money to the b-list stars.
What's your prediction for Dirk? If Amare leaves, that doesn't free up a max slot for Dirk unless they can get somebody to take Barbosa off their hands. But would Dirk take a substantial paycut to team up with Nash again?
IMO, Dirk is staying in Dallas regardless, but the rumor is Phoenix would give Dirk the biggest contract they can give him for one year and promise him that next year when the Suns have even more cap room he'd get a max level deal (probably in the 3 year range).
JJ gettin max is bs to me, dude is fkn overrated
I'm not sure why people think max contracts are exclusive to Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. Look at the players who currently have max deals or really close to it:
Rashard Lewis
Michael Redd
Jermaine O'Neal
Yao Ming
Tracy McGrady
Ak-47
Gilbert Arenas
etc.
Amare and JJ are ideal max contract players but it wouldn't be some ridiculous undeserving monstrosity for them to get max deals.
Most likely, but then again he thinks that Hill for 1yr/3.2M isn't a good deal, so you never know.
