Amare would have easily gotten the MVP that Tiago did if he had played in that league this past season instead of the NBA.

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmk....
NO he wouldn't have.
There goes that argument.
There is no chance to get him without giving up Hill or Blair.
Suns wouldn't accept any offer that doesn't include at least one of those 2 guys next to Jefferson. If they really liked James Anderson than the situation changes but it's a long shot.
I saw this yesterday on Project Spurs:

I personally don't think Amare is a good fit for the Spurs. We already have a player on the team that's not a good fit, we don't need 2. I can see him going to New Jersey, especially if Jerry Colangelo takes over as the new GM.
And since ya'll are so high on trading Jefferson and George Hill for Amar'e, who's going to be our backup point guard and starting SF next year?

Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and coach Alvin Gentry will make a last-ditch contract extension offer to Amar’e Stoudemire(notes) at a meeting Tuesday in Los Angeles, a team source told Yahoo! Sports.
Unless Sarver comes with a maximum offer that convinces the All-Star forward to stay, Stoudemire will opt-out of the $17.6 million left on the final year of his contract and declare himself a free agent.
More From Adrian WojnarowskiTeam LeBron reaches for prominence Jun 28, 2010 Sources: Mavs to pursue Johnson Jun 28, 2010 For the first time, Miami appears to be waning as a potential destination for Stoudemire. “Everybody thinks he’s going to Miami,” a source in the Stoudemire camp said, “but that probably won’t happen.”
Sources say Stoudemire is still interested in staying with the Suns, but the uncertainty surrounding the departures of the top two basketball executives – Steve Kerr and David Griffin – have further clouded the franchise’s direction. Still, sources say Stoudemire is looking for reasons to stay with Steve Nash(notes) and the Suns – not leave.
Should the Suns lose Stoudemire, sources say Sarver is considering the possibility of making a push for New York Knicks free-agent forward David Lee(notes). For the cost-cutting Sarver, Lee could be obtainable for $20 million-$30 million less over the life of a contract. Lee could command a five-year contract worth around $60 million. It would likely take the renouncing of valued bench player Channing Frye(notes) for the Suns to aggressively pursue Lee.
Sarver hasn’t been amenable, sources say, to dealing Stoudemire in a sign-and-trade. He wants less payroll, not more. Nevertheless, the Orlando Magic, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs could be possibilities in sign-and-trade scenarios for Stoudemire.
“They would have to really love the players coming back in a sign-and-trade,” one source familiar with Sarver’s thinking told Yahoo! Sports. “Their plan has been [using] a big trade exception or particular players that make much less.”

You haven't heard of The Centerpiece©?
Actually if you actually read his full post he was saying + Blair and maybe even (I think) plus Splitter's rights. It doesn't matter because Amare isn't coming and is re ed.
amare is a huge upgrade over blair scoring wise,
then we can just shift duncan down onto defense like what robinson did, just focused on defense and chime in when needed...
It would be awsome! But pop would have to teach him top play defense!![]()
a) it won't happen because the Suns won't let it
b) it won't happen because Amare wants too much money
c) it SHOULDN'T happen because as good as Amare is offensively he's a poor defender who has proven again and again he isn't interested in defense, and players like that have proven again and again they're not good fits on the Spurs.
true but not an argument in Pop's mind to not sign him see bonner, mason
Stoudemire opts out of contract
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports

Email Print Amar’e Stoudemire(notes) has opted out of the $17.6 million final year of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent, his agent Happy Walters told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday.
Stoudemire and the Suns were still discussing a possible contract extension late Tuesday night, but Walters said: “The offer isn’t where it needs to be yet, but we’ve had a good open, cordial dialogue with the Suns. Like Dirk Nowitzki(notes) and Paul Pierce(notes), we’re exercising the opt out and we’ll see what presents itself for Amar’e on the market.”
