I'm still laughing at the prospect of Boston trading Wally Sczerbiak BACK to the Timberwolves.
I foresee KG going to the East and teaming up with another star even if he has to go to a team that isn't doing good now but can do very good with him and another + good role/bench.

So the KG to Phoenix deal is dead, period. Because Amare's not getting traded.
I'd do Amare for KG in a heartbeat if the money worket out. Unfortunately though, it doesn't, so I think that this is a longshot.
Im glad to finally see a Suns fan thats says this, everyone else is acting like its an insult that Amare would be traded for KG
yeah...that's really not Nash's fault. He does everything you could ask and that he is physically capable of doing.
Yay for the Curse!
We own Phoenix, no matter who is on their roster. KG's best days are behind him. Plus, Marion won't like being third whistle behind him either.
IF KG GOES PHX.. man.. i don't wana think about it..
They need a new coach. Then, I might get concerned. Dallas is still a bigger threat.
You should be more open to trading Amare. That bozo was part of the reason why your team went fishing early (the other part was that the S0ns were unlucky enough to play the Spurs in the semis, just like in 2005).
KG's stats haven't really gone down. He's still the player he was in his MVP season, for the most part. The differences seem to reflect his horrific supporting cast: more shots, because his teammates suck, lower fg% because teams can sag onto him, fewer assists because his teammates can't hit shots when he passes, and more rebounds because nobody else is grabbing them. But the end for him obviously is three years closer than it was three years ago.
KG could give Phoenix an edge over the Spurs if they used his defensive talents correctly.
The Suns played the Spurs in the WCF in 2005, not the semis.You should be more open to trading Amare. That bozo was part of the reason why your team went fishing early (the other part was that the S0ns were unlucky enough to play the Spurs in the semis, just like in 2005
PHOENIX PLAYS DEFENSE????
KG has got a lot of NBA miles on him, and nothing to show for it.
I just don't think at this time, he is worth what so many seem to feel he is.
Kind of like I felt about Chicago giving Big Ben a huge contract.
One minute, Shawn Marion + picks won't get the deal done because it's not blockbuster enough, the next minute, KG's "all worn out" and not worth it (see Nash, Steve circa 2004). Which is it?
"(remember Nash’s “playpen” quote during the playoffs)?"
What was that comment?
if phx wants to win a championship then they better get garnett!!! even if it means getting rid of big baby amare who cant play defense!!! kg can guard dirk and duncan..and if garnett goes to phx and they get to keep marion..im sorry unless the spurs make some changes phx is the early favorite to win it all...they will have the arguably the two most hungry players to want a ring (nash,kg) they can throw kurt thomas and garnett at duncan...o god...this trade better not happen...and by the way if it does..we will see how pathetic amare is without nash and the suns system...he cant carry a team on his back..trade amare phx
Well, the way I look at it, with these "superstars of the past", is that you give them some huge contract and maybe, just maybe you get a couple of decent years out of them. Then you are stuck with that albatross of a contract around your neck.
IMO it isn't worth it, especially if you have long term goals to be a contender each and every year.
u think garnett has only 3 years left??? he wants a ring..him and nash have not lost a step one bit!!! they will be there every year if this trade happens!!! phx is going to have to lose either marion or amare anyways...why not get kg in return for amare and u still get to keep the matrix!! this is a no brainer for the suns
lol at coachmac's posts being deleted.
Garnett + Suns = Lose in 7 games instead of 5 or 6
Get a new coach.
ya coahmac!!
Since Phx's window of opportunity is NOW, they should strongly consider trading Amare. Especially with the obvious chemistry issue they have on that team. It's obvious to most all that Steve and KG have developed a "fast" friendship, while Amare continues to be the source of a lot of internal chemistry issues.
Who know what will happen once Nash hangs 'em up? So the best thing to do, IMO, is consider swapping Amare for KG and go for it.
Well, PGs don't tend to age slowly, when they do lose a step, it's like they've fallen off the edge of a cliff. So you're likely not to see any drop-off in Nash until there is - almost out of nowhere - a significant drop-off.
And I think 3 years is a fairly safe bet. If KG is still a top performer at 35, that would be a rather rare occurrence. I don't think Spurs fans can count on Duncan being a dominant force for more than 2 or 3 more years.
You sound as dumb about trade ideas as some of the rooks here proposing Beno, Bonner, and a second rounder for Kobe.
First, why would the Wolves take an even worse player in Marion on with his huge salary?
Second, what third team is going to step up to eat salary like that (we're talking 25 mil for KG) just to help out KG and Phoenix? You won't find a team that stupid unless you can get Isiah involved, and even the Knick ownership would can him for even taking part in a trade like that without even getting his hands on one of the stars.
