Curious too, that should not have been a T by KG. I see it as him as passing a ball to the ref, not some sort of delay of game to me.

Exactly, it'll suck for the Celtics if the game comes down to the final posession.
You ask, you shall...
Phoenix Suns’ big man Amare Stoudemire is fully recovered from his eye injury and is having a solid season, averaging 20.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. But apparently Stoudemire isn’t happy in the desert.
There is growing concern in Phoenix that he will opt out of the final year of his contract. I think Stoudemire makes his intentions pretty clear when he says he wants to play in a bigger market. With that in mind, the Chicago Bulls might just be the favorite to land him.
Whoever wants to get there hands on Stoudemire will likely have to be willing to part with some young talent, will have to be able to provide some salary relief, and will have to give up a draft pick. And then there’s one more thing. Stoudemire will have to be willing to resign with which ever team trades for him this summer.
Besides Chicago, the New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and even the San Antonio Spurs could be in the mix. The Nets are moving to Brooklyn in a few years so that might be big market enough for Stoudemire. Miami is likely higher up on the list considering he already has a place down there. Knicks’ head man Mike D’Antoni has worked with him before and New York is as big market as you can get. San Antonio may seem unlikely, but the Spurs are reportedly giving Stoudemire some thought.

Amare Stoudemire Talks About Trade Rumors, His Future and a Questionable Report
by Seth Pollack on Jan 21, 2010 4:43 PM MST in Phoenix Suns News
On numerous occasions Amare has said that winning is an important factor in any decision on where he wants to go but admitted today that market size also plays a role.
"Market size does play a factor. There's a lot of different factors. Being able to win and if you can't win this year then how long would it take to build it to win," Amare said. "It's all about being able to, and being willing to have a team that's willing to build a championship caliber team."
Over the years Amare has responded favorably when asked about specific cities including Washington DC, New York and most recently the New Jersey Nets who he considers to be a team with potential.

Hm. My C's could be a bit stronger on D, obviously. A'm'a'r'e shooting 10/13 = no bueno.
The only positive I can look at is that we're keeping pace with Erden as starting C. Eventually, the O'Neal twins and Perkins will get healthy...
what was I bull ting about?
LMAO, I have no reason to lie, if I was incorrect it would not have been intentional, as I clearly remember hearing about this last season...and my time frames originally given support my original argument...that he was making the noise in the middle of the season...january, february window... and he shut his mouth leading into the playoffs.
What's so outrageous about my my argument? Pardon me, not my argument, about this fact? The fact that Amare was considering leaving for a bigger market (NYC and obvious option), during a time (again, middle of season) where he didn't see himself in the western conference finals. Blow me please.
I admit I was wrong on the language...I guess he wasn't exactly begging for a trade, easily admit to this. I don't think it was purely a black and white issue though.
Sorry for not remembering every detail about trade rumors on a player I could give 2 s about, but Amare was undoubtedly disgruntled in some ways...he thought he was worth way more than the Suns could afford, and Amare not exactly being Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili, meaning his paycheck is of highest priority (instead of willing to take a pay cut for the better of the team), he saw himself elsewhere.
I guess the real content I remembered from 10-11 months ago was Amare wanting a bigger market.
I definitely see how I misinformed, but it was in no way an attempt to sound mart. Pure conversation, I know it's the last thing you guys want in the NBA forum...
I'm starting to wonder about Knicks fans tbh, it seems like they like it more when they're team sucks...
Celtics could use a few stops. It would help if they stopped turning the ball over. And Amare suddenly coming down with a horrible whooping cough couldn't hurt either.![]()
The only opponent they hate is Reggie Miller
But they are ok with MJ and Kobe ting on their team
I agree. But regardless of his true value, they weren't seeing eye to eye.
I'd love to have Amare on my team...but for the right price. The Knicks have always been in a position to offer whatever they want given their cir stances, at least in recent history...they desperately and finally changed paths this season. It's pretty weird thinking of the Knicks as a solid team, and if they end up landing Melo, things will have gotten that much more interesting in the eastern conference since last season. Totally different NBA this year, for once, the eastern conference playoffs might prove to be interesting.
down goes Rondo
Yet another 30-10 performance from Amare. Suns organization eating that sandwich again.
