Yes please... Make it happen
You guys are NUTS, if you would take Splitter over Amare.
Amare doesn't have to be an anchor inside, thats why they have Duncan. The Spurs would launch to the top of the list of le favorites if they pull this off.
You guys are also forgetting who your coach is. You don't think Amare could learn a little bit from Poppovich? If Poppovich is really in the top tier of coaches, he can get a player to learn his system. And since Amare is willing to take less money, i bet he could also be coachable
yeah, I would love to have him in the Spurs. But I don't see how we could make that happen.
He's already said he's interested in playing. Hopefully he's smart enough to know that he can't get a max but if he opts out he can work things out
Honestly, since the Mavs are going nowhere i kinda hope this happens cause i like SA way more than the Lakers, and this would be the perfect team to knock them off
i dont know if he fits the spurs system or not.....but if it means we can get rid of RJ, then i would just do the trade to get rid of RJ......i wouldnt include splitter's rights though.....
I think is pretty sure to say that he will not be satisfied with the MLE, the only way we may get him is with a sing and trade and that's not happening with Phoenix.
Oh no, he won't accept the MLE.
But why does everyone keep saying Phoenix won't do a sign and trade?
There is a small problem....You guys are NUTS, if you would take Splitter over Amare.

IT ISN't REALISTIC FOR AMARE TO BE A SPUR....
Just thought you might want to realize that before we see another guy saying that it is stupid that we want Splitter instead of Amare.
i'll take him
bcoz phoenix will face SA in the playoffs atleast once and they dont want to stack up the spurs team by giving us amare....
Maybe
but people were saying they would take Splitter over Amare because of defense blah blah blah
Amare is already a superstar in this league while Splitter will take 3-4 years to get to his potential and he still won't be as good as Amare probably
Too many teams with too much money will land Amare a max contract somewhere other than San antonio.
if it ever happened, it would probably be for a 1 year deal with a possible year added in if they win the NBA le. Clearly Duncan and Amare down low would be pretty tough to stop if it happened, which imo unlikely but stranger things have been known to happen. Duncan needs help if the Spurs ever want to compete for a fifth NBA le and Amare would be that guy. Like many have said here it's just not gonna happen, not realistic.
I would prefer someone else, but damn we could do worse.
I would have to say I would be for it. But like most have stated, I dont think it would come close to happening. Bad defensive history or not, that is some athletic length under Pop. Would be grand to see. The knee issue would scare me a bit, but he has been ok for about 2 seasons so wtf...ah well. Lets hope we can make somethign out of this offseason to help us contend now and later.
correct me if i'm wrong, but can't amare go to another team with sufficient cap space to do a sign and trade if phoenix refuses to deal? for example, can't stoudemire work out a sign and trade from the knicks for someone like jefferson + splitter or parker?
I would trade RJ, Splitter, and the #1 pick for Amare. , I'd even throw in Blair if it came to it. You can always get rotation players, but getting a 22-25ppg/9rpg all star who shoots like 55-60% is worth a bunch of rotation players.
The biggest trade chip SA have is Jefferson, but idk why the Suns would want him.
They might take RJ if you threw in cheap assets like Blair (2nd round contract), and/or Splitter ($5 mil is cheap for a decent big man in the NBA), and/or the $1.3 million the #20 pick is slotted at. Then when RJ's contract expires after next season they could potentially have maybe three good/very good rotation players making like a total of $6.5 million.
Basically they'd take RJ to make the salaries match and swallow his contract for one year but they would really want one or all three of Blair, Splitter, and the #20 since they're all right up Sarver's cheap alley.
Splitter is arguably the best player in the second toughest league in the world. Hes pretty much fully developed in terms of his individual game. Point being, hes not going to take 3-4 years to reach his potential, like say a regular rookie out of college would. Im not saying hes going to be a star or anything like that, but i think you will pretty much see what you are going to get from Splitter by about his second season. Whether that is a solid low post option who can give you 13-15 PPG and 8-9 rebounds, or a just a rotational 8-9 PPG, 6-7 RPG, remains to be seen.
Idk if yal know who we're talkin about. We talkin bout Amare, the dude that has killed the Spurs in every game he has ever played against us! An you dumb s wouldn't trade RJ/Blair or Splintter for him. 1st of all RJ & Blair has NO DAM D! Blair lil ass can't even contest a shot, RJ just dam sucks! Amare finishes with and1s at the Dam rim & make fts. Next to Labrick Amare is the and1 king! An Splinttern that lil red ridin hood cross dressin mutha a. When we needed his ass that mutha a tured his back on us(4 a good reason I mite add but still)! I'd trade RJ, Splintter, Blair, & one of Ginobili's twins(sorry Nobili) for Amare!
Spinttern cross dresses?
You don't win championships with dumb players.
And Stoudemire is bumb, really really dumb.
No thanks.
