mixed emotions about these...
Dude, no. Give up our best playmaker, passer and swingman for a big who can't play defense? Ginobili is the heart of the spurs, and everybody is having a season outside of Duncan, not just Ginobili. I can't believe some people are actually entertaining this idea. Or people who think the Suns want RJ lololololol
mixed emotions about these...
Good point.
The only concern I have about Amare is his vision. He went through some delicate stuff with his eyes last season, and having a family member that had both retinas detached, I know for a fact you have to constantly keep up with it and it flares up once in a while.
rj is not expiring will not work
main piece has to be manu
amare doesn't know what defense is.
Why would Manu make sense for the Suns?
IF we are to get rid of Manu it should be for a player like Bosh, not Amire. Amire whole game is his freakish athleticism, and when that starts to decline so does the player. Who doesn't play defence. lol
Trading Manu, sure for the right deal, but don't just wate him for nothing.
Trade a chronic winner for a chronic loser...sounds like logic fail to me.
Bye bye Manu, it was fun while it lasted
What I do wonder is how many posters would disappear from here when Manu is a Spur no longer. Church of Manu is strong indeed.
Exactly...i would rather trade RJ & Bonner or Mason for Amare, than Manu.Why can't we get rid of Jefferson instead of Manu*cries*
I know...it's just talk but just thinking about it...
I would too but why do People think the Suns would want RJ. They are looking for expierings such as Manu.
trade anyone outside Duncan and Parker for CHRIS BOSH.
What "Hardwood Paroxysm" thinks of the trade...
No to Amare. Like others have pointed out, Amare, like Jefferson need better set up men to be successful. He also needs a faster paced game. I wonder what Amare's stats are like when Nash is out of the line up. Also, he wasn't to happy with the Suns slow down/defense first approach when the Suns acquired Shaq, do you think he'll be happy under the Spurs system? Amare and Pop would clash. I can only imagine how Amare would react when Pop screams at him for missing a rotation. It would be like having Terrell Owens in the locker room.
lets say we knew for sure that Manu was not going to resign with us this summer, then i would say lets try this trade.
but i still think manu would be resigned and i don't know, i don't think amare solves our problems.
i think our problem is that we are looking for too many big names, i mean its funny how we won a championship with fabricio at center/pf , and even nazr. chemistry > individual talent
i know there arent a lot of available players out there but adding someone who really doesn't solve our problems (defense) doesn't seem like a great idea.
Make the deal...Manu will only get worse from here...
I agree. The Spurs do need a trade t get them back in contention though. Just not this one.
Amare is an expiring.
the spurs had the big 3 too. That helped.
Right now we're not sure we'll see all 3 playing at an allstar level come playoff time.
True but the big 3 then was young in in their primes. Then you could surround them with vets, but now the big 3 are the vets.
Can any of you Manu dealers explain to me how Amare is going to fit in our system without a setup player that enhances his strenghts? Or how Amare is going to suddenly be interested in being a consistent rebounder and even passable defender?
Has this came up on spurstalk yet?

"Spurs may be involved in Amar'e Stoudemire trade
Reported by: Don Harris
SAN ANTONIO - With the Spurs season at a crossroads one of the biggest questions about the team is are they going to make a trade?
Two different NBA sources told me Tuesday the Spurs have come up in the Amar'e Stoudemire sweepstakes. Not that the Spurs would get Amar'e, but that they may be part of a multi-team deal to make it possible for Phoenix to move him.
The Nets, Bulls, Heat and Pistons are said to be the front-runners for Stoudamire. The Spurs may be burning up the lines trying to find something that's going to work.
All this after the Spurs fifth loss in six games Monday night. Coach Gregg Popovich has, admittedly, never tinkered with a lineup so much to try and figure out a winning combination. As the Spurs defense continues to struggle, Coach Pop only played eight guys Monday. Pop says the effort is there, just not the execution.
“Of course they're playing hard. And of course they're competing. That's got nothing to do with the losses or the wins here,” maintains Coach Pop. “The guys always compete and they always work hard. We need to shoot the ball better and our defense has to be more consistent. That's what it's all about.”
The bad news: It only gets tougher from here. I was digging deep, trying to find a silver lining for Spurs fans. But what I found inside the Spurs schedule and the road ahead was a dark tunnel with no light at the end.
Follow if you dare... of the Spurs 39 remaining games, only 14 are at home. 25 are on the road. If that's not bad enough, 15 of their 18 losses this year are against the good teams. Teams over .500. And of their 39 left, 27 are against those good teams. They play the Lakers three more times! Only 12 games remain against bad teams.
I hate to say it, but missing the playoffs is not out of the question.
But let's not be all doom and gloom. On a bright note, Sports Illustrated is taking notice of the great Tim Duncan this week. SI calls Duncan the NBA's metronome. The article says Tim is one of the top 10 players in NBA history and that he's better than ever."
