Yeah I was just commenting on that with a buddy of mine. They'd rather give Amare to someone than deal anything to us. We went demolition derby on them.
THe Spurs have single handedly destroyed that franchise and its immediate future. There is ZERO chance we could be a trade partner with them.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this topic was Toronto and Bosh.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Miami jumps in this with some sort of blockbuster three-way deal where they get Amare and bring in a third party by trading away Marion for some assets Phoenix might want. Riley always seems to find a way to get a marquee big.
If not, look out for the Lakers. They might offer Mihm, other KEY bench players and future second round pick for Amare.
Phoenix would NEVER trade a key asset to the despised Spurs.
Can you imagine if that happened, Amare would go off for 50+ and pull down 20 boards every time we played the Suns. He might even play some defense.
LMFAO @ all the Spurs fans that want this moron on their team.

Miami can do that by simply swapping Marion for Amare without involving another team. As for Amare playing with the Spurs (won't happen) that would be a formidable frontcourt.
but now who are we going to slap around?
I doubt if they would want Marion back. That's trading one headache for another...and they already know what that headache's like.
but now who are we going to slap around?
Dallas
Maybe but I have heard the Suns have offered Amare to the Heat. The only problem for the Heat is Amare trying to be the "Man" on Wade's team.
Oh yeah, them.
lets win a playoff series against them first. As far as I know, the Spurs always have a hard time playing against Dallas.Oh yeah, them.

Everyone benefits!
Kobe will get the all-star guard he wants.
Phoenix will have a back-up to Nash and gain front court depth, + LA and SA can add their 1st round pick to convince PHO.
SA will have someone to play alongside Tim.

Yeah, the Spurs are going to trade their allstar point guard. No way Duncan, Parker or Ginobili are traded until the Spurs plateau.http://games.espn.go.com/nba/feature...1~21&te=&cash=

Well, if there is a BS trade to San Antonio (highly doubtful) where the Spurs get Amare for nothing, I hope he has a chip on his shoulder which makes him commit to defense. If he does that, then I have no problem with him coming to SA
These 6 spurs guys can't compete with Amare
If the Spurs were looking for someone like Amare, they'd be better off talking to Presti about aquiring Wilcox.
He too isn't much of a defender, but with Tony and Manu running that high screen and role (especially when Tim's on the bench) you'd be seeing nights where you could swear Amare was on the team. The guy has great hands and knows how to finish and for whatever it's worth, (before getting drafted and left to develop in that cesspool known as the Clippers) was actually able to contribute within a team-concept to winning a championship on the NCAA level with Maryland.
He's not making a lot of money and his pending free-agency would leave the Spurs with the flexibility to go in another direction if they deemed necessary.
It couldn't hurt to see if Presti was interested in getting his hands back on Mahinmi. Who knows, maybe he bites. Throw in an expiring contract or two, (Oberto? Udoka?) some cash and/or a pick, and maybe Presti will hook up his former team.
And the Suns fans were all on me when I said after the cats trade that the suns wouldn't make the PO. That's even worse guys, your team is done for a couple of years. GL for the lottery.
All he can do is dunk!!!
why all this downplay of Amares talent?
we all know he has flaws, we all know he doesn't play much defense and we all know he is a diva.
but there is still one of the best scorers in the league, who is virtually unstoppable when he is hot and those who don't agree should sometimes check his points per shot ratio. he is not a one trick pony at all. currently he delivers a fantastic 1.51 PPS, last year even better at 1.64. (Tim is at 1.33 PPS)
we are not talking about an overrated medium talent, Amare IS one of the best players in the league, despite all his flaws. but he needs the right role on the right team. (he had it on the old suns team)
think about him on a Nelson offense? what if the Warriors offer a package around Biedrins. I would love to find out what Amare might deliver on a Nelson team.
You said it.
I won't go all out and say he's a role player but he sure is a one dimensional one. All his flaws and notably on the court (see Defense), doesn't make him a franchise player thus not deserving the max contract he's gonna ask for.
well, he doesn't need to ask for a max contract, he already is on one. and while it is debatable who at all deserves such a max contract, I still would claim that this max money is better invested in Amare, than in at least half of the 20 players, who make even more money than he does.
of course he isn't in the league of Lebron, Kobe, Paul and Tim, but to call him a player, who can just dunk, is nonsense. Amare is one of the premium talents in this league. end of story.
I know you'll have to be kidding. 1st of all Amare hates the Spurs with a passion. 2nd the Suns know they would have to face the Spurs in the playoffs so why would they want to make us that much better. We already beat they asses and they got talent, so you'll think they would give us the team that always seems to bounce they ass out of the playoffs the only real talent they got!?! RIIIIGHT!!!If you believe that then you are as stupid as Amare Stupamire!
I loved the comment from Kerr this week that the Suns had "sort of mortgaged their future" with some of their trades.
Now people would like to see the Spurs do the same thing? Gotta be Laker trolls in disguise.

Stoudemire Opens Up On Trade Rumors
Amare Stoudemire spoke as though he already had his bags packed on Friday night, the Arizona Republic is reporting, before saying he wanted to remain a Phoenix Sun forever.
"It's kind of good that a lot of teams want me right now," said Stoudemire. "That's positive. Obviously, probably a little bit of financial decision going on. Probably trying to clear things up from their standpoint. A lot of times, when something like this happens it's more of a business move than anything else."
"I know for sure, wherever I go, we're going to definitely be playoff contenders. I bring a lot to the table."
TD will be happy to have Amare gets his points and touches. With this fantasy front court, Spurs > Lakers.
