Hey, TA is an outstanding defender and is probably the only guy on the whole goddamn team who's actually overachieved this season! Sigh.

They are the same player although maybe Tony Allen doesnt break fingers and have a need for psychotropic medication.

Both are decent little players. Neither is essential to their respective team's success and many teams in the NBA have a similar player. Discussing their merits is useless and boring.

How about Amare? I would like to talk about Stoudamire a little bit.

Did you have to call me names? Not nice.

Anyway, I think Amare's result is the key not only to the trade deadline but also could be a big key to the offseason.

In the end, I'm not sure really how much the Cavs want Amare. I think deep down they want Miami to jump in and go above the Cavs offer to get him then hope Miami signs him long term which would entice Wade to stay in Miami and preclude a Wade/LeBron to NY or something like that. In all honesty I think that is more what they want, then they can trade for Jamison which is what they wanted to do all along. Most likely I'm incorrect though!! (I never said you were boring just Amare! yeah, you're real sensitive about stuff aren't you!)

I think they want Jamison as well. I read today where they are talking about Corey Magette now as well. To me, its all smoke. They want Washington to give them Jamison for an expiring contract which at the end of the day is what will probably happen. Washington isnt cooperating...yet. If I'm washington, I would probably settle for a late draft pick along with Z and call it a day at some point.

Amare is a post microfracture guy that wants a max deal. Im not sure he is worth that at this point.

Yeah, in the end the Cavs have decided they will only include Hickson in a Phoenix trade. Both Washington and Indiana want Hickson in deals for Jamison or Murphy. The Cavs would I'm certain deal Z and a first rounder for Jamison but nothing else. It's just up to Washington.
