amare was on the verge of redefining the PF position until the injuries. he's still a really good player but he has been surrounded by stud players his entire career. i think many of you would've looked at him differently if he didn't have that supporting cast.

Amare is fugazy. Anyone that gifted athletically should be in the running for the MVP every single season. Amare only cares about two things; offense and Amare. No thanks.

Whoa! First of all, he went real hard at Chris Bosh. Players are usually pretty diplomatic when asked questions like that, but Amare went in. Secondly, players rarely lobby to go to a specific team like that. Wow, that quote made my day, we are officially an attractive destination --- Walsh just needs to make something happen.

he said later the same day on an ESPN washington radio station that he would fit in great with the wizards. the guy is on a campaign.

man, be quiet. Quotes like these:

"I will be totally serious about that, I spent a lot of my childhood there, I have a connection with the state, and I also love the entire coaching staff"

" I think Coach D'Antoni's doing a phenomenal job with the Knicks, NY's a great city, I follow them closely."

...And completely crapping on another player that the Knicks are interested in, is a little stronger than saying you would fit in great somewhere. You have other things to worry about. LIke the retarded tyrannosaurs leaving the Rapters. Stay focused!

ain't nobody on this team that comes even close to either of these guys, we'd be lucky as hell to be able to land either one of them... all of a sudden Knick fans getting picky w/superstar players, lol.

I like Amare's talent and all, but wasn't he the one saying how NOW the Suns practiced defense and that they never did under MDA? So now that the Suns D actually got worse since MDA, he's had a change of heart I guess?

Or it's calling a spade a spade.

Amare is better by anyone we have on this team by a wide margin dude... we'd be lucky to have him.

I don't disagree that his talent is better than anyone on this team but Amare has some Zach Randolph in him. If we are going to have all this capspace and really try and change this team from what we've been doing the past 9 years, I'd shy away from Amare.

Amare was a key part in a 50+ game winning formula & helped his team get deep into the playoffs... i think that sets him apart from guys like Zach... we already know what a beast he can be in an MDA system... i don't see the downside to bringing him here... get Amare & a shotblocker like Camby to join w/whoever we draft (Derozan, Curry, Holiday) & guys like Chandler, Gallo, Hughes & Duhon next year & u got something there whether Lebron joins the team or not in 2010... if the Suns are open to trading him to us this year i think it would be ideal... we can get value out of Lee & Nate, we can try & contend for a playoff berth this year & not end up losing a lottery pick to Utah, & we can open the eyes of guys like Lebron & Wade to how good this team would look if they came on board in 2010... obviously Fishlips & Curry would have to be dumped too but at u gotta take things 1 step at a time to accomplish the main goal of winning a championship... we need superstars to win a title, & Amare is a superstar.
