Congrats - you have allocated $60+ million to 4 players for 2011 - Tim, Tony, RJ and Amare, and the Spurs would only have the MLE to work with. Awesome! You paying?
If Amare was signed long-term, you do that deal in a heartbeat, but not for a 3 month rental.
Smart decision.

i rather gamble on splitter with the MLE, then absorbing watever amares asking price is when his a FA resigining with us
I hate the idea of trading away young promising players, but there is the reality of Pop's coaching to consider.
Blair's at least a year or two away from getting significant PO minutes from Pop.
At least with Amare, we'd get to see what he could do.
As for the future, when Hill and Blair are the stars of the team in a post-Duncan era, who cares?
The future is now.
Stupid asses, Amare is way better that no knees Malik Blair and porno star-wannabe Hill
that is downright laughable.
I would hope that Blair and Hill in the future are not going to be counted on as this team's top players for another championship. But also think they can be key contributors with one (hopefully two) of the top 5 players in the league on the team.
And let's face it...Duncan in a couple of years (maybe even starting next season) isn't going to be a top 5 player in the league at his position.
If this is the hope of the organization that Duncan will be that type of player to once again carry a team into the finals...that's going to be the biggest gamble the F/O is making.
And God love him and all he's done for the team...but Duncan will need more than just Hill and Blair to win another le these next couple of years. And that's if Parker can play a whole season not being injured as well as not loosing a step.
All things considered at this point...I don't see management ever luring a top player to this team during Duncan's last couple of years of productive play.
And as far as bid wars for talent that could actually make a difference for this team, management hasn't done a very good job of that lately either.
So it appears that the hopes of another le during the Duncan era is going to mainly rest on it's ability to draft talent. And it has to be really good talent at that.
And what's the best way to get really good talent in the draft?
Absolutely. Giving up Blair/Hill defense for no defense is not exactly the way we want the Spurs going forward.
thank you.
So who wants a do over on this?
Are you joking? No f'n way do you take Amare.
Seriously? You don't think Amare on this team would make more impact than Hill and Blair have these playoffs? Would the Suns even have made the playoffs with Hill and Blair instead of Amare?
Amare has always been and will always be a joke.
When he entered the league he was a one of a kind athletic specimen. Now every draft we see more and more players who make Amare look like smegma.
Amare is still going to be absolutely worthless in a few years once his knee-battered athleticism wanes too. Hes basically an undersized Dwight Howard with two knee surgeries, no blocks, no rebounds, no defense, and hardly even gets sick dunks anymore.
He's a joke.
No one is saying Amare will dominate 5 years down the road once his athleticism declines but...right now while Duncan is still an all-star...would he be helping this team win a le more than Hill/Blair are?
No ing way.
He is a giant joke.
He's had his balls coddled by easy baskets from Steve Nash for the majority of his career, artificially inflating every stat he's ever posted since the 2004 season.
And he's never been clutch. Just look at his playoff performance as a whole.
He's a Dwight Howard of 2002-2003. He's old news. A joke. If he had not ed up his knees he'd probably still be a good trade, PROBABLY, but right now he's the same old joke just aged faster.
Still a no from me.
Well...someone needs to tell Tim and Mcdyess that Amare is a joke because he is ting all over them right now. I think Manu would have had as much success spoon feeding Amare dunks as Nash does now...it's a shame only 2 big men on this team can actually catch his passes with any kind of regularity.
Everything Amare has done in these past two games has been MUCH less than he's done against us in the past.
He's scored at twice the current rate in previous series, and even THAT RATE was totally manageable.
So he's scoring less, and its twice as manageable.
Amare is like the 150th reason we lost tonight.
He's a joke.
If Stoudemire is signed long-term, of course it's a no-brainer..if it's a rental, then you don't do it, like my man mystar said..
I don't like Amare either, but the hate on this page is absurd..Stoudemire is a top 5 big man in the NBA and he's the best player on a team that has a great chance at making the WCF..
Duncan has actually defended him extremely well in this series IMO, but that doesn't change the fact that Amare has played some elite basketball in the past few months..
Amare is the reason Nash is having jogs to the layup line. No one can help protect the paint because they know coming off of Amare = automatic dunk. He doesn't have to score 40 to have a major impact in this serires. Plus, his rebounding alone would be worth giving up 2 guys that have done nothing of significance this series.
Are you joking??? Amare is averaging 12 rebounds per game this series, Duncan is averaging 10.5. And Amare has outrebounded Duncan in both games.
Switching to a different track, if we had made that trade then it means our already meager bench is 1 less.
No way we make it past Dallas with Amare as a bench.
So...
no way u dont do that trade if ur sa and can sign him to a extension but it didnt happen no need to worry about it now
Trading Amare for Dejuan and using Temple to backup Parker instead of Hill...such a non-brainer. I seriously don't see your logic at all.
