The Amar'e Stoudemire trade rumors are starting to heat up with the trade deadline less than a month away. Sports 620 KTAR's John Gambadoro has said the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets , Miami Heat, and New Jersey Nets would be teams the Suns could strike a deal with.
The Amar'e Stoudemire trade rumors are starting to heat up with the trade deadline less than a month away.
Phoenix-Houston Suns get: Luis Scola or Carl Landry, Shane Battier, and Brian Cook Rockets get: Amar'e Stoudemire Why - The Rockets can use Amar'e Stoudemire's scoring ability to put them over the top and lock up a playoff spot for this season. Going forward I like a center/power forward combination of STAT and Yao Ming once Ming returns from injury next season. The Suns get a cheaper replacement at the 4 (Scola and Landry both are free agents after this season, but they will be cheaper to keep than Amar'e), Battier is an upgrade over Grant Hill and brings the defensive tenacity the Suns desperately need, and Brian Cook is an expiring contract.
My god, another thread with a terrible and misleading title. And a link to poo poo. Wish this would stop.
trade scola + battier + cook for Amare then trade tmac for Iggy Brooks Ariza Iggy Amare Yao hmmm no harm in dreaming right
Scola and Battier for Stoudemire hmmm.... I guess it makes our team younger. If you make the Iggy trade as well you have a pretty solid team going forward... Brooks/Lowry Iggy/Taylor Ariza/Budinger Amare/Landry/Hayes Yao/Dalembert/Andersen
I honestly don't understand why many people believe Amare would be a bad fit with Yao. If anything Yao would benefit from Amare being able to hit from 18' & within when he draws the double teams. Plus BOTH guys are great outside shooters so the lane could be made wide open for slashers & cutters with both guys being solid passers. Remember Amare is not a back to the basket player Yao is that's a possible inside (mid range) out combo, imo.
