I'd be a Knick and Suns fan for a season if this happened.
THe Knicks would probably be open to a sign and trade Nash for David Lee. They probably haven't pulled the trigger on Amare yet because everyone who watched the Suns knows that Amare's shooting percentage drops by at least 10% without the best pick-and-roll point guard in the league spoon feeding him dunks. That gives the Suns a decent replacement for Amare and starts the Goren era which is coming soon anyway.

Oh yes people think they have a clue. I've seen plenty of re s on other message boards rave about how replacing Amare with Warrick makes the Suns a better team.
They need talent that can thrive without Nash. Not a bunch of scrubs that once Nash leaves/retires become worthless. They need to think about who will work with Dragic.
The thing is Warrick can't even thrive with Nash. In 2006, yeah, Nash was so good that he could run the pick and roll effectively with a countless amount of players in the NBA, Nash is still good but in order for him to run the pick and roll effectively he'll need a good partner like Amare or Dirk to run it with. Teams will be able to switch on Nash like they did in December and January to neutralize the pick and roll.
But yeah, I woulda been fine with it if they decided to let Amare leave because of his knee, but that woulda been if they started to think future and rebuild. I didn't want them to let Amare leave and then overpay role players as if they're in win now mode.
I knew when the Suns beat the Spurs that Amare was guaranteed to get a max contract and send the Suns into the lottery the following year. Even when the Suns beat the Spurs they lose.
lol Spurs fan mad they're team is just as irrelevant as the Suns
Trade Hill/Lopez to the Spurs for Jefferson/McDyess, Nash to Clippers, B Dizzle to Wizards, Arenas to Suns, trade J Rich to 76ers for Iggy.
You're welcome.
They are going to try to deport Lopez eventually anyway.
So you admit there's no realistic reason why that trade helps the Suns?
DoK, what is enough to 'salvage' next season for you? A playoff appearance?
By not going for a S&T with Amar'e, the Suns FO seem to be sending the message that they're done but as long as they have Nash the players will try to compete.
So, you admit that you are mentally incapable of detecting sarcasm?
The Suns realize it's time to rebuild, in that respect they are smarter than the spurs who keep thinking they have a shot(lol spurs). Sucks that they decided to go with players like Fry/Warrick, though. They have 2 very nice players in Dragic and Lopez, and now that they have Gentry I think they should have went after good D players, to try and instill a culture of D first.
time to rebuild by giving 2 hefty contracts out just recently to 2 scrubs? hahaha! you meant, time to up in phoenix all over again, right?
Calf tats, you shouldn't be talking about a team that just swept the spurs. You think your team is doing any better?
OH right, I forgot, you guys have Dejuan Barkley Blair and Tiago Hakeem Splitter. My bad.
A top 5 pick. I don't give a about barely making the playoffs.
Which is a pretty stupid mentality.
one and done.... wait none and done.
lol suns
Thanks for telling me what I already know
lol getting swept by a team dumb enough to give Frye $30,000,000
As talented as Amare is, lets remember that the Suns still played well without him in the game during the playoffs. In fact, his adjusted +/- for the 2009/10 season was -6.6. And in the playoffs it was even worse at -13.37 which was a team worst. The Suns may not be as bad as some people think next season.
This isn't 2006, Nash can't run pick and rolls with Tim Thomas anymore. The Suns are ed, the only people who don't think so are Nash homers who think any team with Steve Nash is gonna be a great offensive team.
Are you saying that its a fluke that Nash has just happened to play for the best offensive team in the last seven seasons.
