That article makes it sound like it's just a question of "when"

Internally, there have been frustrations with his inability to progress as a defender, rebounder, willing passer or even solid screener in his seventh season. There is a feeling that the Suns already have seen how far riding Stoudemire as a top scorer can take them, particularly as his game edges toward a reliance on perimeter shots with Shaquille O'Neal in his lanes.
Stoudemire has never clicked in the locker room with teammates much beyond pleasantries. No big-man coach tutelage, from Marc Iavaroni to Bill Cartwright, has connected the dots for him. And while he keeps a global following, the Valley's Suns fans have become more annoyed with his erratic play and consistent braggadocio.

This reads like a prep.

Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic seems to have a very good handle on the Suns.

Wasn't Amare the future of this team not so long ago? I am just asking if anyone here thinks trading him wouldn't solve the problem....

I'm willing to bet 90% of the people here dont think trading him will "solve" the problem.

A trade doesn't solve any problem. There is no guarantee the incoming player could do better.

But, when a player is unhappy, doesn't put 100% effort on court, refuses to do his duty. What is the solution? Return to the up-tempo system? Great, go ahead, but u got to trade Shaq first.
