Nah, I think a decent amount don't like the trade (that is if you're referring to the Warriors in that last two sentences). They'rerebuilding and have solid pieces, why go and mess things up again? Last year they signed Maggette as a quick-fix thing, but they only lost cap space as opposedto young talent. Then they extend Jackson before he even proves himself. The Amar'e thing is another quick fix. It's not like the trade puts them overthe top since they weren't even contending, so at most this trade does is make them contend. Of course it could all go bad and they're stuck with anextended Amar'e, Jackson, and Maggette instead of the youngsters finally taking over the team and coming into their own.Originally Posted by bhzmafia14
GSW just might. I know Amare want his options for the 2010 off-season. Like people have said before, why would he extend a contract to a team that is rebuilding?Originally Posted by WhUtIzIt
^ theyre obviously not gonna do the trade unless Amare agrees to some sort of preliminary agreement....we're not going to do a rent-a-player
I really don't see no point in them making this trade. But, its ya'll team.![]()
Amar'e wants his money and to be the man. In Phoenix he's probably not gonna get his money, so that's why he's wanted out. The Warriors havethe leverage here and shouldn't budge. If it doesn't go through then no biggie because the Suns might lose him for nothing because they wouldn'twant to pay him the max.
I think the teams are both better off not doing the trade, that is unless Phoenix thinks Amar'e is gonna walk when his contract is done. Then they'lltry and get something in return, similar to Bosh and Toronto if Bosh decides he wants out.
