Wow.
I know Amare is overrated. But do you really think the cavs are better with JJ Hickson than him?

As bad as Amare is on D he has a greater block % and a better rebounding % than Hickson. And against the hawks hickson averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds, vs Amare's 28 points and 14 rebounds.

I dont understand how Amare is overrated. He has flaws like every player. No one is saying he is a good defender or a great rebounder but he is an all star and one of the best big man in the NBA. With that said, I do want the Cavs to make a trade for him because I dont think that would work out in their favor and that may benefit the Hawks. But Amare overrated how??

What will the Cavs have to give up to bring in Amare?? That plays an important part in what roster they have left. Dont the salaries have to match to make a trade?? If so, lets say for instance they lose one of their bigs in the process, that helps us out. Varajeo and Ilgauskus are the type of players that get under our skin, if one of them disappears itll be a win for us.

I agree with some of your points..Amare is a damn good player but I dont think it would work out with LeBron, Amare, Shaq, and Mo all on the same team. I want Cavs to make the trade because I think they will fall off a bit if they do it. At the same time, if it does work out and they can figure out how to play well together than that team can be a really good team and perhaps a great team and win it all this year. If anyone can make a team gel, its LeBron..he is a good team player and leader. But I really dont think Amare and Shaq would make a good fit. Why is Cleveland looking to make a big trade when they have the best record in the NBA and on a hot streak?? If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Your Shaq is old and fat comment is old..people been saying that for years but he's still playing well and is gonna be a matchup problem for us if we see them. And no one is fatter than Collins lol Amare is soft?? idk where you get that from..he's far from soft. Like Horford, he's a natural PF but is playing at Center and does a better job at it IMO I would rather have Horford still tho because he's still young and is still learning the game

I think that Cav team would be more susceptible to being beat by the likes of Orlando and us. First off, you can bring in who you like, they are not stopping Howard. Secondly, if Woody lets our team run, we should be able to carve them up in transition. Moreover, I think Smoove have more good days against Amare than against Andersen V.
