If Banks goes to Bobcats, does that mean they'll let Brevin Knight out of his partially guaranteed contract?
Knight to Spurs?
The Spurs were never trading Parker that summer. They were just trying to sign Kidd as a free agent.
But yes, I'd imagine it sucks for any player to almost get traded. Look at Brent Barry who got told he was traded and then they had to say .. oh my bad, the paperwork was in too late.
Can somone explain why a straight up KG for Amare deal wouldn't work?
Do the contracts not mesh up? Does Minnesota not want Amare, but prefer a 8th seed instead?
Minny is looking to get young guys, draft picks, and expiring contracts.
If they trade away KG, they want to start the rebuilding process on a foundation of solid young players...
How old is Amare?
I think the issue with Amare is "solid" and not age LOL
Point taken....
I'm not gonna start defending Amare, but if I owned an NBA team, and my superstar demanded a trade, I would want to replace that person with someone who could put fans in the seats.
Amare can do that while an unproven #5 or lower draft pick might not.,
Issue could be Amare's max contract. A guy like Bynum (example from proposed Laker trade) is still a few years away from an extension and it's likely to not be a MAX deal, unless he absolutely blows up.
Not sure Okafor's extension this summer would be max dollars either, if that's the speculated player....
But you make a solid point.
If memory serves, didn't he go on a hot shooting streak just after that? If so, maybe we should lobby to have the trading deadline moved to the end of March.
I suspect that's the issue as well.
Just like KG's contract is causing problems on the other end...
I'm still wondering why PHX is so desperate to make a huge change to their team, didn't they say they think they should have beat the spurs this year? why not come back with the same team, unless they know they're still the lesser team.
When your dealing with a high price from everybody involved, if you are the owner/GM/coach - you have to ask yourself with Amare: How much do you trust that knee never to be an issue again?

On the plus side, he was great last year and didn't show noticeable different from before the injury.
On the minus side, a major surgery on that knee before the age of 24 does not bode well for it remaining healthy long-term.
Exactly. All that talk about the suspensions costing the Suns a Championship is total BS, and everyone knows it.
Steve Nash is the only thing keeping the Suns in championship contention, and they only have a few years to make something happen.
KG could be the difference, although IMO, KG for Amare is not a big enough difference.
[QUOTE=FromWayDowntown]they have yet to overcome either of the West's Biggest Beasts with or without Stoudemire.
I hope you don't mean Dallas as the other beast. We disposed of them in the Playoffs in 2005. Lost to them in 2006 with Amare out. And won the season series this year. No one in Phoenix has ever been or ever worries about them. Like you guys like to say "OWNED"
LIving in ATL I just can't bear the idea of having Amare playing for the hawks.
is it true Cuban is still in pursuit of KG too?
