Sun's dilimma and Hawks' position

[emorywjs]

A three way trade is talked on ESPN. Sun sends Amare to Atlanta, Garnett to Sun and Hawks' 3 to Min.

I think there is strong possibility this may happen. This is why:

LA and Mav are pushing hard for Garnett. Imagine if LA get Garnett, Sun's hope for a champion can be put to a halt for a while. So is the case with Mav. So Sun must get Garnett, even though they hate to lose Amare.

So at one point, Sun must make a decision on taking chance for next year, or taking chance for the long term. With Nash aging, it is more realistic to go the first option.

So I believe Sun will trade Amare for Garnett. With Hawks in the trade, Sun may get exact player in Childess or exact pick rather than straight up trade (Amare for Garnett).

Sothron, you have to get info from your guys on this. LOL

Here's the rub. Minnesota has to take back at least $17M in salaries for this to work, so someone else has to be coming from either Atlanta or Phoenix for this to work.

Since Phoenix already has luxury tax issues, I'm pretty sure that it would be either Barbosa or Diaw on the way out. (Unless the Marion to Milwaukee rumors are true, which I doubt).

Great point on why the Suns need to take Garnett ... I'm surprised other Western Conference teams aren't thinking like this.

Could be a "real rumor" but I doubt we would take Amare. IF we did, we're stupid. If JJ left Phoenix who was a 62 win team for us who was a 23 win team.. to play without Amare, why would we trade for him?

2 things, the first being was ATL mentioned on ESPN or did they just talk about a KG deal. Secondly, wouldn't Minny rather have Amare if dealing KG rather then picks?

[Buzzsaw]

They 100% mentioned ATL

[emorywjs]

I think Sun can get extra benefit by involving Hawks rather than deal with Min directly. They may get pick #11.

[WraithSentinel]

There is no problems between Amare and JJ. When the Hawks were playing the Suns those two were laughing and joking with each other during the game. JJ just didn't want to be the 4th option.

This doesn't make any sense. Garnett makes more money than Amare!!!

^^^See my thread.

That would be awesome. Stoudamire is one of the few players I would be willing to trade the no 3 pick for. We would put ourselves in great position to be a perennial playoff team and championship contender. Just keep the 11 pick and get us the young pg that we really need.

[BHayley]

I actually like this. Amare's contract has him making 17 mill at the max. If we can trade #3 + 2 fillers (NO MARVIN PREFERABLY) I am ALL FOR IT.

Besides Dwight Howard, I consider Amare the #2 upcoming BEAST in this league. Plus I think he is originally from South Carolina or North Carolina (didn't he go to that Mt. Zion HS T-Mac went to?).

Acie JJ Marvin Smoove Amare

That team could score 105 + in a game in itself. Defense might be an issue lol

LOL , Amare is much better than D-Howard.Howard dosen't have any go to post moves yet.Did you see him in the playoffs?

Amare is already at beast status.

D-12 is the upcoming beast

If it takes Marvin to get Amare... Do it!!!

Its alot easier to find another Marvin than to find another Amare.

[BHayley]

Lol, well Dwight is 4 years younger. They both are incredible specimens.

[pimp]

They may have patched things up by now.

They were on team Usa together, before Amare got cut because of his injury.

Do you have a link to where this trade is talked about?
