Three team deal with Philly, Miami and Phoenix. Philly Gets: Barbosa J. O'neal Miami 1st Round Pick Miami Gets: STAT Dalembert Phoenix Gets: Iggy Beasley Philly gets major cap relief (about $15 mil), a young piece in Barbosa and a second 1st round pick. Miami gets the new front court they have been looking for. Phoenix get two young studs. Further, if Phoenix were to take on Kapono's contract either the Suns or the Heat could include further incentive to Philly with young talent like the Heats Cook or Wright or the Suns Dudley. I think Philly would be the only team to balk at these scenarios. However, due to the framework of the basic deal listed above Philly would have a variety of options to taylor the trade to fit their demands.

He's a big contributing factor to the wins column. If they trade him they're pretty stupid, but it wouldn't surprise me, they trade all their good players.

They play in Auburn Hills in Oakland county. Which is actually the fourth wealthiest county in America. So i don't think the housing market of Detroit should impact A mare's decision too much.

Arenas definately needs a change of scenery so why not have a trade headlined with The WIZ getting Amare and either dalambert or brand and lou williams, it completely changes the look of the franchise. The Sixers meanwhile get Arenas and about 15 million worth of expiring contracts which they will jump at and the suns of course get their man Iggy another player and maybe even a draft pick. All parties do this trade!!! What about a 3 way trade including washington?

Phoenix is playing so well right now and I think Amare knows that he isn't going to get traded to a team that is as good as Phoenix is right now. I say to Sarver shut up and pay the luxury tax this year then next year unload J-Rich and save your precious money. Stay in the thick of the playoff race as well playing in the playoffs is extra money that will help the Suns pay the Luxury tax. There is no other deal out there for Phoenix unless we can somehow trade Amare for Michael Beasley/Q-Rich's expiring deal. Amare gets to go to South Beach and the Heat become a serious contender in the East, The Suns get Amare 2.0 who would thrive in the Suns system and save a lot of money in the deal. I know Amare is much more talented than Marion but look what happened to Marion when he was basically begging to leave Phoenix, his numbers were down all across the board in Miami and Toronto. Now, he is playing for a contender in a reduced role in Dallas....Could've just saved in Phoenix, probably gotten a better contract and saved you the trip, Matrix. I'm not saying that it will happen to the Amare as much as it exposed Marion but EVERYONE...and I mean EVERYONE benefits from playing with Steve Nash.

They would rather keep Iggy. It makes no sense at all. Just keep Amare for another season!! Why would 76ers take Ben Gordon’s hefty contract? They would rather keep Iggy. It makes no sense at all.

Just keep Amare for another season!!

I don't want a sinlge player form the pistons on our team... And while it would be nice to trade J-rich, we won't because his salary is pretty big and is still not up to expire for at least a year I think. And as far as T-Mac, if there are supposed locker room issues now, Mr. Mac would probably destroy our team. Keep Amar’e!!
