suns definitley need to improve their roster. but it’d be difficult to move shaq, nash & aging g.hill… amare is the only hot commodity they have. as a fan, i **** to see him leave, but if he does, i think suns should try to get chris bosh (if possible) or josh smith

josh smith is no were near amares level and bosh is way better than amare maybe carlos boozer
The only possiblity is Chris Bosh or Tyson Chandler.
Chris bosh will probably work. BUT suns the best option would be not to trade him. BUT again they kinda messed up there team by making bad trades so i guess you can just trade amare and make totally different team.
I am not sure if they need to,
First of all the Porter experiment did not work and since they fired him the Suns were one of the better team in basketball but they were so far back by the time Porter got fired and also the injury to Amare did not help their surge that they got after Porter got fired.
Basically what I am saying is I think the Suns with Amare and if they had their stuff together which I thought they were getting at before Amare went down would of been a third seeded team.
Maybe try to trade Amare for Tyrus Thomas, Kirk Hinrich and Joakim Noah
Hinrich would be Suns’ Nash getting old, Thomas and Noah have good future
I am 100% sure that Amare Stoudemire will not be traded this off season. why? because the Suns have already said they will keep Alvin Gentry and that means they are gonna RUN. So, they need the best power forward to do it and that’s STAT. When the Suns are running he can score and score and dominate. Last season he averaged 25.5 ppg.
He’s also the best player in Phoenix and their best asset. Amare will dominate next season and the Suns are headed for sure in the playoffs.
I think they will trade Shaq for young guys and solid defenders and possibly draft picks. A lot of teams would want him because he has already proven he still has it in him. This means good news for the Suns because with no Shaq clogging up the middle Amare can score a lot more and Nash can easily drive to the basket like he usually did without Shaq.
You’re comparing Amare to Josh Smith and Chris Bosh??? STAT is the 2nd best forward right now in the NBA only behind Lebron James. Josh Smith is just a solid defender and if Chris Bosh’s that great why are the Raptors the 3rd worst team in the East. With Marion, Calderon, Barngani they should be a better team. but no, they stink..
Trading him would be the icing to the cake on how to destroy a champion caliber team, not the 2007-2008 Phoenix Suns, but it was the year when the breakdowns began to happen.
No Eddie the Suns in 2007-2008 season would of been a third or second, hell maybe even #1 seed had they NOT traded Shawn Marion, with Shaq I knew they werent going anywhere with him, no way in hell they could of been a third seed this season even with amare, their DEFENSE ***** SO BAD, honestly thats what caused the suns from missing the playoffs.
I Think They Should Keep Him
or Sign Young Guys In The C and SF
But They Should include A SF in the trade with AMARE
Maybe if they got BOTH Bosh and Smith but neither one of them is even close to the talent level of Amare. Shaq is probably gone and Nash has a couple of years left at an all-star level. The Suns will build their future around Amare. With AG staying as coach, look for the offense to go through Amare next season and they will get back into the playoffs.
I think that they could trade him to the raptors for bosh, BUT with is injury idk if thats possible. If they want more then 1 player, try trading him to the heat for oneal, moon, draft pick and others
ffs I want Grant Hill to move away!!!! he’s not doing enough for the price!
and yeah if amare plays like in 05-07, then he shoudl stay. if not, trade for Andrew Bynum
there are a few suggestions, i say two. The Pistons or Utah can sign and trade Boozer for Amare, but statistics wise, Boozer is better than Amare.
Another suggestion would be Amare for Wizards’ Antawn jamison, and their top 5 pick in this year draft
