Dont really understand the man-love/cheeto-love for trying to get LeBron and Wade. Wade needs a ton of shots and LeBron is a similar type player. I'd rather have one of those 2 guys, preferably LeBron, and an all-star big.
agreed, i'd much rather have Lebron playing w/a superstar big than a perimeter scorer like Wade.
Well, who's the superstar big? Coming into this year I was a big Amare fan, but he hasn't exactly been special... and Bosh? What have the Raptors done? I don't see any "superstar bigs" available. Now, I see a couple of superstar swingmen available.
Amare is a superstar big... u tell me what frontcourt player can continue to put up superstar level stats w/Shaq's huge butt clogging up the lane on every possession.
Coming into this year, I'd say Amare was a superstar. But he is pretty far from that level now... superstars shine no matter the occasion, even when a 107 year old AARP member gets added to an offense where everyone else has experience with one another.... and don't get me started on Amare's "defense"
Amare's still putting up 21 & 8... KG's putting up less at 16 & 9, does that mean he's no longer a superstar bigman too?

I don't see how you culled that comparison based upon what I said. First off, KG plays defense. Second off, he is that team's post presence. Third off, KG plays with The Truth and a guy with a pure stroke. Fourth off, , they're defending champions. Fifth off, me answering this has more to with me drinking than anything else
i dunno what Suns team u've been watching but Shaq's having a pretty solid season... the way u speak of him makes him out to be completely washed up, which is not the case... 18 & 9 is good production from any NBA C, i don't care how old or young they are... & Amare's also playing w/J Rich who's also averaging 17 ppg, & 4 other guys averaging in double figures in scoring as well in Nash, Hill, Barnes & Barbosa... Amare's leading his team in scoring even while his post game has almost completely been done away with due to Shaq's presence down low... take Shaq away & Amare's production would jump right back to what it was last year, trust.

Are the Suns better or worse than they've been before? Has Amare made a bigger impact or is less of one than before?
