trading someone like Amare takes a lot of incoming talent to come in.

When KG got traded, Minnesota got future superstar Jefferson, Gomes, Green, Telfair, Ratliff, and 1st round pick.

Nash and Shaq need to go, but if Amare is going to be traded, we need to get alot back, and why not throw Nash in and get a team that has more young players than anyother team to hook it up. Why is taht so farfetched

I doubt Portland does that deal. They would be giving up their young stud PF in hopes that Amare doesnt ruin their chemistry and resigns in 2010.

I think they would rather trade for someone like Caron Butler over Amare.

if he doesn't resign, they are a pretty attractive destination for young players when the time comes. They can also hold Lafrentz' contract and free up some space that way.

I would do this trade in a second AND include Barbosa.

For a point of reference the Trailblazers look at Aldridge as physically good as KG and Tim Duncan (in terms of height, wing span, athleticism) and think he is going to develop into a superstar. And after watching Bayless for a year at UA I KNOW he has the goods to be a succesful NBA player. His mental toughness and competiveness is off the charts.

This is by far the best trade proposal I have heard. My only question like Mao is why would the Blazers do this trade.

Do they want an all microfracture front line?

That trade doesnt work... but this one does. I am an Amare Supporter, but I would do this in a second.

Our team....
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/featur...~22~22~21~21~21~21~21~21~21~21&te=&cash=21:22

Sergio Rodriguez (we get our drafted PG back, maybe he is of the future)
Jerryd Bayless (u of a phx potential)
Jason Richardson
LaMarcus Aldridge
Shaq

Frye- good PF off bench-U of A phx guy
Batum (young guy that hopefully develops)
Pryzbilla- Good C off bench
Goran Dragic- gets minutes to see if he is decent

Koponen could develop and a first from them....

Meanwhile they have

Steve Nash
Brandon Roy
Travis Outlaw
Amare Stoudemire
Greg Oden

Blake(PG)
Barbosa(PG/SG)
Fernandez(SG/SF)
Amundson(PF/C)
Lopez

Why we do this trade. Cap space, build team for future with young players, hopefully one or two pan out.

Why they do this trade. Brandon Roy, Greg Oden get perfect complements to their game in Amare and Nash. Barbosa off the bench gives them another explosive scorer. Cap space to build around Roy and Oden in 2010 or resign Amare. Championship caliber team for years to come.

I should be GM portland would accept this in a second and it would make our team better in long run.

Good Lord! I agree. Let's just swap jersey's with Portland.
