Amare Stoudemire is good as gone...
Why?
- 2010 Player opt-out, He will most likely opt out.
- If he stays, he will demand a MAX deal.
- Would you give Stoudemire a MAX deal knowing he is only good at offense and has negative impact defensively?
- That and the risk he will require knee "clean-up"... "repair" call it what you want, most likely 2 seasons from now. Which pretty much makes him useless for a season before he heals.. then its basically a cycle all over again.
- And we all know Kerr's thoughts on who the MAX players are in the league.
- Nash, O'Neal are expiring in 2010. They need to build around a younger and more "impactful" star. Stoudemire is best only as a side kick to another star, preferrably this time around who plays "D". But why would you pay him 20 Million a year to be a second star... assuming he stays.
So for who?
- I'm hoping a swing man like Rudy Gay. Keeps getting better.
- Aldridge + Fernandez, copy the Piston's "multiple-star" team, as opposed to having 1 or 2 "super stars".
- Brook Lopez + Vince Carter... Brook is a 20/10/3 player when playing 30+ minutes. Vince is bonus.
But Net's GM isnt a fool....
- Maybe Brand.. but he has 5 years left.... unlikely. BUT... he is relatively good value at 13.5 Million per year.
- Jermaine O'Neal, might as well have 20 million coming off next season. Starts off the re-building, then puts the final icing in 2010, as Nash and O'Neal expires..
- Warrior's for Biedrins and future picks.
- Knicks.... Lee + filler.... D'Antoni doesnt mind Stoudemire not playing defense.
- To Cavs for Ben Wallace + picks... LeBron gets his ring, as the team's overall defense can "hide" Stoudemire somehow.
- Charlie Villanueva + Ramon Sessions + Richard Jefferson
- To Bulls, for Hughes, Hinrich, Noah + first pick 2010... Barbosa needs to be added. But Hinrich should offset that.
C: O'Neal/Lopez
PF: Noah/Admundson
SF: Richardson/Barnes
SG: Hinrich/Hill
PG: Nash/Dragic
looks okay, cant be worse than current team... atleast a rebounder in Noah, defense/shooting in Hinrich who can replace Nash and hopefully tutor Dragic... Richardson moves to the 3 spot, Hill comes off the bench.
Maybe, Hill and Nash staying back to talk to management, was to get their feelings... maybe asking them if they want to stay and try one more time and/or be traded to contenders.
