A new trade rumor
 

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns

Not sure why Suns want to spend more money for an older player in basically a lateral move. But it would be a great move for the Hawks.

Heard this one today...Knicks are looking at bring Ron Artest east back to NY..I hope not...and he's one of my former SJU players.:eek:

Maybe he will punch Isiah in the face for me for making the Knicks a Clippers-like joke.

Your not a fan are you?:confused:

I'm a Knicks fan in exile

Sorry to hear that...give me a buzz if your in town and want to go watch practice or catch a game at the Garden.

PS...when Isiah took over 2 years ago they inquired if I was interested in the Knicks job. Ran far and fast from that offer! NO WAY would I work for looney tunes Thomas!

I will do that as soon as Isiah is gone. I may be tempted to try to do a Spreewell on him!

The sad thing is that Isiah's legacy may be as an executive/GM/coach where he is an absolute disaster. I was watching a video of the mid 80's NBA a couple of days ago and he was an unbelievable player. You forget just how good of a player he was. He could just takeover a game. I think it is funny when people compare Tony Parker to him. Sorry ppdgn. No contest.

I simply can't believe any trade rumor that involves the Suns giving up Stoudemire. They would be absolute fools to do that....I don't think there is one player in the league that I would take for him. He's what 23 years old and is flat out a monster.

I feel the same way. I love Garnett as a player but he is not a big upgrade and is I think 7 years older.


I would take LeBron over him, sorry Morty.

Parker is still young. It's not fair to compare him to one of the greats. Same deal with Lebron and Jordan.

If I'm the Suns, I make this move in a New York minute. Stoudemire is 23 years old, but he has logged some serious time on the shelf with injuries. They have won nothing with their three stars. Garnett is a beast. He does stay healthy and he shows up every night at both ends of the court. Phoenix hasn't been able to get past San Antonio and/or Dallas the last two years. Garnett can match Nowitski and Duncan, something Phoenix hasn't been able to do against those two when one on one. This move could pacify Marion and could be the big piece of the puzzle that gets them over the hump and to the top of the Western Conference.

[quote=satan's twin]The problem is that getting Garnett will cost the Suns at least 10 million a year more than Stoudemire. By doing that you assure that Marion will opt out because there is no way the Suns are going to be able to pay him. Plus I dont see Garnett as being that much better short term to justify killing your cap. Trading a 23 year old 1st team all NBA guy in his prime for a 32 year old guy who makes $22 mill a year is a tough deal.
