I know this is not true at all (Hoopsworld is not credible). There has
been nothing but positive report about Amare and I have not read anything
else that says otherwise. Kenyon Martin may be an interesting choice but
do you guys think he is worth $100 million? If he does sign; does it mean that
Martin plays powerfoward and Amare becomes a center?


NEW JERSEY LOSES KENYON MARTIN With Phoenix and Atlanta with cash, and likely going to lose out on Kobe Bryant, expect both teams to make a hard and heavy push at Kenyon Martin, word is while the Suns like Amare Stoudemire, there is talk that his personal life is becoming bothersome, if Kenyon can be had Amare may be traded. The odds are slim, but a source close to the Suns hints that if Kenyon expressed interest don’t be surprised to see a sign and trade done with New Jersey, where New Jersey avoids the $100 million payday to Kenyon and sheds a contract or two and gets back an Amare. Kenyon likes his team, but at the same time its payday and if New Jersey won’t cough up the cash, other teams will…

This tidbit talks about T-Mac

Indiana is still in the running for McGrady, but it appears that Houston and Phoenix are the front-runners. The Suns are offering anyone on their roster excpet for Amare Stoudemire for McGrady. The hold-up could be in that Shawn Marion is a base-year player and can’t be officially dealt until July 1st.

Absolutely ridiculous. At this point in their careers I would still rather have Amare.

Amare is the best young power player in the NBA. Everybody would love to have him and given the fact that his mother is a total pscho we're gonna hear this kind of stuff forever.

The fans and sportswriters for every crappy team in the NBA are gonna think they can steal Amare away in some rediculous deal.

so basically they have said that there is no way we'd trade Amare for Tracy McGrady, but we'd trade him for Kenyon Martin in a heartbeat??? LOL

it's actually much worse than that because they imply that the Phoenix Suns would take some bad salaries off the Nets' hands in the deal. I swear that web site should be shut down for this kind of crap.

Do any of you guys remember when the guy who runs that web site came over here and argued with a few of us about something? I would love to see him come here and argue with us about this trash.

I would guess that HoopsHype is in New York. Need I say more?

That being said, even without the money factor, K-Mart is not a reasonable substitute for Amare. K-Mart is right now a much better defender and no where close to being the low post offensive force that Amare is. In a year or so, Amare will become a very good defender but K-Mart will never be able to do what Amare can do in the low block.

I'm really excited about Amare playing this summer for Larry Brown and with Ben Wallace. I can't think of better learning environment for playing defense.

I think you are being too kind. I just don't think they really know what they're talking about over there.

BTW its HoopsWorld not HoopsHype. The latter actually seems like a nice basketball web site.
