Also bear in mind that the additional piece the Suns would be "giving up" would most likely end up being a cap clearig contract, like Kurt Thomas or Marcus Banks.
celtic reject who rejected wolves, who'd get stuck taking him back?

twolves will also be trying to include Huddy in any deal

if the suns trade amare for kg then we will possibly have a gm worse than isiah thomas.
No shit. That makes no sense to me at all. Letting Amare go to get an older version of Amare? I have no idea why they would want to break up that team unless it is to get rid of Marion who may very well be gone after next season anyway.

Because the older version is one of the best defenders in the game and will still give you the same offensive output. I don't think age really matters to the Suns at this point. They have probably two or three years before Nash starts to decline, so they might as well go for it.

Timberwolves talking three-way Garnett deal
tBy Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
June 27, 2007
NEW YORK – Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett is close to going to the Phoenix Suns in a monumental three-way trade that would send Phoenix forward Amare Stoudemire to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources said Wednesday.
Atlanta would move the Nos. 3 and 11 picks in Thursday's draft, as well as Zaza Pachulia and Anthony Johnson, to Minnesota to the Timberwolves.
Minnesota owner Glen Taylor has delivered a mandate to his basketball executives to get a deal done, one league executive said.
Yahoo! Sports has learned that the trade would also save the Hawks from an emerging showdown between the front office and coaching staff over whom to draft with the third pick. The front office and coaching staff had settled on Florida power forward Al Horford, but a faction of the Atlanta Spirit ownership group, with business interests in China, is pushing them to take Yi Jianlian.
ifThe deal hinges on Atlanta general manager Billy Knight saying yes, as well Hawks ownership, which is mired in lawsuits, being willing to increase payroll. It is believed that star Hawks guard Joe Johnson talked to his former Suns teammate on Wednesday and that the 24-year-old Stoudemire, a first-team All-NBA choice, told him that he'd welcome the trade.

Hawks would be looking pretty nice.

Still doesn't give them a PG, but I'm sure they can find something adequate to put around them. Not to mention if Speedy is healthy he's alright for spurts, but that's a big if.

Would be a nice jump start to the rebuilding for the T'Wolves as well.

the only person that they would need kg to defend is duncan. past performance shows that kg is no upgrade there.

Sadly enough, I actually remember Webber outplaying him this past year or the previous.

Yep, and one of the reasons the Nuggets are shopping Camby.

Agreed. The Suns could have won the championship this year with the team they have. They should just keep things intact and try another run. To give up Marion to get KG is alright, but I wouldn't move Amare.

This would be really dumb on the Suns behalf. The only logic I can see in making such a move is that they aren't fully comfortable with the playing time Amare got when he came back from injury. Maybe there is some lingering doubts with the Suns about his full recovery, even though he played spectacular last season...
