Amare Stoudemire thread (out for season? update pg 35)

Id really much rather wait and go after Bosh if the Heat are so intent trading Beasley. Amare has character issues which Im sure wont be a problem if he comes to Miami but he did have microfracture surgery. He may be fine but Bosh is the better option with his height and defense.

If you are worried about Wade being happy just ask him about the trade. If he is against it obviously you don't do it. If he is for it then how can be upset if it doesn't work out. You have to assume Riley will run any trade by wade before he pulls the trigger. I wouldn't be surprised if Wade has the final say.

Riley cant call wade, everyone knows on the weekends, its party time...The only thing he knows how to say is "Yes, Yes,Yes...ohhhhhh, Yes,don't stop, YESSS"

Grizzly fans seem to think they are getting Beasley and Blount in a 3 way trade for Amare.

Shoot, if we only have to give up Beasley and Blount for Amare and we can trade Marion and Banks for JO DO IT.

Haha. That was a deal I came up with based on the little bit of information from the article and some others seemed to like that deal as well. I do think it would be the most feasible thing. You guys get off of Blount and get Amare.

Anybody seen this?

PHOENIX – As the Miami Heat continue their pursuit of All-Star forward Amare Stoudemire, Heat president Pat Riley has enlisted the Memphis Grizzlies to be a third-team facilitator with the Phoenix Suns, league sources said Thursday night.

The proposed multiplayer trade is fluid, but the framework would include the Suns receiving a package that includes Miami forward Shawn Marion and Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay. Miami would send rookie Michael Beasley to the Grizzlies. More players would be needed to balance out salary-cap rules.

“Miami knows that they can’t get this done directly with Phoenix,” one league executive said. “The big thing is that they know the Suns like Gay.”

Suns owner Robert Sarver directly called Memphis’ Michael Heisley to discuss trade possibilities between the two teams. The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported that the Grizzlies rejected a Suns’ proposal of Gay, forward Hakim Warrick and point guard Mike Conley for Stoudemire. It also reported the possibility of a three-way discussion.

Before the 2008 NBA draft, the Grizzlies tried hard to trade up to get Miami’s No. 2 pick to draft Beasley. The teams never came to terms, and Memphis ultimately worked the draft-day O.J. Mayo-Kevin Love trade. Gay hasn’t meshed well with Mayo, who took over as the Grizzlies’ top scorer.

For the Suns, Marion’s possible return would be an ironic turn of events. The Suns traded him to Miami one year ago for Shaquille O’Neal, and now, he’s attractive because of his expiring contract. The Heat have tried to shop Marion to bring back a strong low-post player, and have tried to get teams to take guard Marcus Banks with him, sources said.

The Heat believe they could sign Amare Stoudemire to a long-term extension before he has the ability to become a free agent in the summer of 2010. Phoenix seems determined to move Stoudemire before Thursday’s trade deadline. As the Suns try to change a failing chemistry, they’ve found a league that isn’t interested in taking Shaquille O’Neal and his contract.

The Portland Trail Blazers also have discussed a trade for Stoudemire, and sources said they have offered the expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz and rookie point guard Jerryd Bayless. The Chicago Bulls also continue to talk with the Suns about Stoudemire.

new wiretap saying Heat gave up on Amare and are focusing on Oneal....nobody knows anything. The way things are going I predict Riley will get KG

jmbflame21 · Post #516 » by **jmbflame21** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 5:50 pm

yea this rumor came out yesterday. I dont think its going to happen because Riley is no longer shopping Beasley. He will probably just do the JO deal and call it a day.

Amare out up to 8 wks

yea just heard that! that sucks for the suns, hopefully his eye will heal by 2010

M_nus · Post #519 » by **M_nus** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:59 pm

That's probably the only reason he wasn't traded

He hurt his eye because he already had one on the Heat for 2010...ok lame joke but I couldn't resist.
