Some of you on this board dont watch any games, how is Amare’s numbers a product of Nash when he averaged 20 and 9 (the same thing he’s averaging now) without Nash in 03-04???

If anything Steve Nash’s effectiveness is a product of the up-and-down pace of the Suns, look at the 1st half of the season last year, when the suns went more halfcourt offense, Nash was quiet as a mouse.

@Sacto_J

I like that deal, but your team SUCKS if Beno is your starting PG. Perpetually lottery bound…

but Amare your feet are planted in cement, just look at your rebounding numbers . . . something has got to be holding you down from grabbing those boards; I can only imagine it must be cement.

I’d send Kevin Martin AND Jason Thompson in a sign and trade to land Amare in Sacto, and max him out. The Kings are cursed for doing Webber dirty and will never be contenders again until they find the next franchise PF and pay him appropriately. We’d be looking something like –
Beno
Evans
Nocioni
Amare
Hawes
That has lots of potential if you ask me….

As a Suns fan, I am disappointed with his effort this season as well as the effort of the FO. Steve Kerr seems to have no idea what he wants to do, and in the end i’m just wishing they dont just trade him for cap relief. Robert Sarver needs to go, the guy is cheap.

Amare should be trade but only if we get something valuable in return, like say Anthony Randolph or Michael Beasley or a draft pick.

I think eventually Earl Clark could be good for the Suns in this system but needs more time.

Jason Richardson also needs to be moved out. He hasnt meshed at all with the team with his numbers at career lows. But I dont think we have a willing partner.

@ Spliff 2 my Lou

I agree completely, I dont see Amare making the same impact without Steve Nash

From everything I’ve read it seems as though there is talk amongst NBA front offices that Amare’s best days are behind him. Plus, how good can he really be without Nash getting him the ball. Seriously. Imagine him somewhere like Miami relying on Alston or Chalmers or Arroyo setting him up. O in NY with Duhon. Or NJ with Harris. I can’t.

I seriously don’t know if any team would or should pay Amare more than the $17.69 mil that he would get next year from Phoenix. That is unless the teams with the most money can’t land one of the more prized 2010 free agents.

If I’m a team with huge cap space I go after Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Joe Johnson, then Amare in that order. I think the only way Amare will get more money than his 2010 PHX option will pay is if a team can’t lure anybody else.
