LaMarcus Aldridge > Amare
With the trade deadline quickly approaching, many teams have expressed great interest in Phoenix Suns All-Star power-forward Amar’e Stoudemire.
The most recent trade rumor has been reported from CBS Sports, involving the Portland Trail Blazers giving up power-forward LaMarcus Aldridge, rookie point-guard Jerryd Bayless, and the $12.7 million expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz.
Although the trade is highly unlikely to be processed, Amar’e would be a great addition to the young up and coming Blazers.
In other news…the New Jersey Nets have had talks with numerous teams about dealing away high-flying Vince Carter. While Carter believes that the Nets are contenders for making the playoffs, he cannot control if he gets traded or not. He does believe that it would be unfortunate to break the team apart.

LaMarcus Aldridge > Amare
Wow why would Portland do that?
From another board, but reports from KTAR in Phoenix have Suns ups saying there's nothing to this rumor. Weird to here something like this from the Suns' side before the Blazers'. They are the one losing in the trade.
"LaMarcus Aldridge, rookie point-guard Jerryd Bayless, and the $12.7 million expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz."
Way too much for Amare.
this is way more stupid than the darius miles emails.. this has to be some false ass phoenix made up to try and up the value of amare.. at least i hope so.. damn portland management to if they are actually considering this.
It could be, but why then would they be the first to deny it?
i have no clue........ im just hoping at this point lol
I'm hoping to... that KTAR is a liar and this trade becomes reality after the weekend!
both on Opposite Ends Of The Spectrum haha.. ive been hoping if they try and move lamarcus it would be for bosh somehow maybe if this happens it would be to just trade amare to toronto is some cluster of a way
Toronto only wants Amare if they can pair him with Bosh as the PF/C tandem. I think Toronto's main offer will center around Bargnani, some expiring contracts and it's 2009 1st rounder, if not maybe a future 1st as well.
That would pretty much be armed robbery for Phoenix. If it's true that the Sarver/Kerr got this offer and they don't take it, they're even bigger idiots than I thought.
Send Amare to OKC or some other team in the hole. That dude's a spoiled brat who can never get satisfied with what he gets.
Phoenix should trade amare to the t wolves for big al and start thinking about next year.
did Amare himself proposed this deal? coz that's what it sounds like to me.
Why in the would Portland move Aldridge in any deal not involving Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, or Dwight Howard? Aldridge is a of a player with nowhere to go but up. If I'm Phoenix, I make that trade this second.
Yo es, I'm gorilla man, Portland gon trade dat THE MAN!!! wannabe Aldridge and that little Bayless for yours truly, THA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!, A'm'a'r'e emire. Dats how dat goes down and thank the good lord Tupac Shakur for giving me that prophecy.
I see no way this trade happens. I wouldn't trade Aldridge for Amare straight up!
agreed aldridge is a of a player with upside but only those three? i think your over valuing him too much. cp3, bosh, wade?
Portland blazers are interested in rebuilding? they are likely to break into the playoffs this season, which they haven't managed to do during the past several years when they were rebuilding. amare is good individually yet harmful to his team's chemistry, and he also has got a injuried season during which he just played 3games. trading him for tmac seems more fair to suns, but I'm afraid tmac doesn't want to be traded to phoenix where the medical survice is not as good as that in houston. for sure tmac doesn't want to travel too much during pregnancy, so it's better for him to give birth to his baby in a local medical center. We all expect the birth of tmacII.
How lame would it be if Amare wound up in Cleveland. Then he'd piggyback the King to 3-4 les, and people would start considering him one of the best PF's of all time, which is lame.
Watch it happen, people rewrite history all the time! Amare had a bad rap now, but if he wound up alongside the King that is just an unstoppable duo.
Anywho, to the person who said send him to OKC, OKC"s future is very bright. They're 10-11 in their last 21 games, Westbrook/Durant/Green is a nice core and they have 5 draft picks in the next 2 years.
that trade is daylight robbery....who needs the stimulus... the suns...
remove aldridge and put in frye who has done all
Yeah, you're right about Paul and Wade. As for Bosh, he's not better than Aldridge by enough for me to trade his younger legs and potential (same thing with Amare). I'd never trade Aldridge unless I was getting superstar talent in return (ie., the trade would have to be a no-brainer, like for Kobe, LeBron, Paul, Wade, D Howard). Not when he's this good at 23.
