Amare's been my ever since he ruined the Sun's le chances in 2007, and trust me when I say this guy will never be motivated to play for a team. The only team Amare has ever played for in his life is team Amare.
A possibility, sure.
It's also a possibility he becomes motivated about winning a championship, and Cleveland blitzes through the playoffs.

In fairness to Amare, that suspension was ticky tack bullshti technicality if I ever saw one.
It definitely was but Duncan was on the bench at the time and didn't flinch. Amare had no reason to do what he did, it was his low BBall I.Q. and low I.Q. in general.
That trade proposal is garbage. Kerr and Sarver know that Suns fans will revolt if they take that garbage from Cleveland for Amare. Not only that, but Steve Nash would immediately demand a trade. Now, it could be that Shaq is going to the Cavs for Szczerbiak and Hickson. That would achieve Sarver's goal of dumping payroll.
kerr looks like a geek therefore i cant question his intelligence. this trade,should it be true at all, is worse than the gasol trade. at least the grizz got a nice prospect with marc gasol. jj hickson is nothing.
This source broke the Mo Williams trade and the developments in it. He also knew the Cavs were goin to take Hickson, if some of the other names they liked were off they board.
Hickson has All-Star potential if developed right. NBA ready body at 19 years of age, springs for legs. Devloping post moves. He has come a fair way this year in his short time with the Cavs.
Amare Stoudemire thinks he is going to be traded. But he can't be 100 percent sure. "I would say it's 60-40," Stoudemire said Friday afternoon. "Who knows? They might keep me."
Stoudemire wore a mischievous smile as he spoke of the Suns keeping him, seeming to indicate that he'd be pretty surprised if he were not moved by Thursday's trading deadline. Throughout an extended session with reporters in advance of the NBA's All-Star Weekend, Stoudemire seemed to understand why, exactly, Phoenix was considering moving him. He said general manager Steve Kerr had explained to him the ramifications of not making a move. "It is all from the financial standpoint," Stoudemire said. "It has nothing to do with anyone's basketball skills."
But, later, Stoudemire explained that the Suns' choice of direction did not make sense to him. "I don't understand it," he said. "They're doing this because they want to fix the team. So you're talking about trading a young All-Star big man. How is that rebuilding? There seems to be two different directions here. Is it about money? Or is it about making the team better?
"To me, this is a low blow. I worked hard for the organization. I have done everything they have asked of me. I am not out there getting into trouble. I am not out all night. I have not gotten DUIs. There is nothing you can say about my character. So, to trade me for pretty much nothing? I don't get it."
The Stoudemire drama comes after the Suns struggled through a difficult first half of the season, falling far short of their championship aspirations. Phoenix is just 28-23, a game out of the playoff mix. The team has struggled to adjust to new coach Terry Porter, who took over after Mike D'Antoni left for New York last spring. Stoudemire was asked about Porter's job performance and didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement. "The fun is missing," Stoudemire said. "We don't have the freeness anymore. We used to just go out there and play and have fun playing. That's not quite there now."
It seems certain that the Suns will do something with Stoudemire, who -- unlike just about every player in the league -- admits that he has, indeed, paid attention to the rumors. He says he has heard that Chicago, Cleveland and Miami are possible destinations, though with the Heat making a deal that sent Shawn Marion to Toronto for Jermaine O'Neal, the Bulls appear to be the frontrunners.
Asked about the possibility of playing with Chicago rookie point guard Derrick Rose, Stoudemire laughed and said, "Steve Nash is my point guard. For now."
Stoudemire, of course, is not the only player dealing with trade rumors. In Toronto, the Raptors repeatedly have denied that they'd consider trading big man Chris Bosh. But, Bosh says, he is well aware of the chatter. "Of course you hear things," Bosh said. "But I like talking about basketball. I don't like talking about trades and free agency and all of that. I am just not interested."
According to someone who would know -- Celtics forward Kevin Garnett, who was traded out of Minnesota before last season -- it could be that a trade is just the thing Stoudemire needs. "A trade is not always a bad thing," Garnett said. "Once you get past the negative, the little things -- leaving your surroundings, your house, your backyard, all of those things -- it could be better for you. For me, it was cleansing. It could be that way for him, too."
Stoudemire seems to understand that; he is flattered by the attention from other teams. "It is OK with me," Stoudemire said. "I've got 20 teams calling my agent every day asking about me. It feels good to have that. Maybe a change will be good."
That remains uncertain. But what looks increasingly certain is that some kind of change is heading Stoudemire's way.
I'm sure you're ejaculating over the prospect of this trade (which Cav fan wouldn't) butat attempting to make it seem any less lop-sided than it is
If this goes down, it's the final straw that convinces me this league is rigged
If teh 2006 Finals didn't convince you the league isn't rigged I dont know what will
Any trade that has the financial goals of the franchise as the top priority will be lopsided.I'm sure you're ejaculating over the prospect of this trade (which Cav fan wouldn't) but
If Sarver was smart about his money he wouldn't have traded for Shaq.
Remember when the Suns fans used to praise Sarver as an exciting owner?

Actually, Suns fans have never been thrilled with Sarver as the owner. There are alot of fans who wished Colangelo still owned the team.
Soon to be followed by Ferry hiring Kerr as coach of the Cavs.
Ferry and Kerr out West West and the BS Gasol trade.
wtf is this . ill be pissed if this is true
Seems like when the NBA wants to see a team succeed for marketing purposes, those teams so happen to get superstars for free
I didn't make it up, the Cleveland plain dealer and espn are both saying that the rumor of the cavs landing amare has blown up..
And duncanowns shaq or whatever your name is, chill out dude- again you are acting like a 5 year old. The guy is a solid source, you can hate the trade all you want but I just didn't make it up
the rule was in place for several seasons before he broke it
I am sorry, but Kerr won't be making that deal. If they don't get a good return for Amare, there are alot of season ticket holders who won't renew. What I could see happening is Shaq going to Cleveland.
To nuts. I don't think Thunder Dan made this up but no way that is happening
That's not LMAO worthy, Goku went over 9000 with the kayoken not went he went supersayan
and james still gets swepted by spurs in finals
amare for wally and hickson = a garbage contract for an expiring garbage contract and filler
