this will ruin their chemistry and send them into a tailspin from which they shall not recover – ha ha ha -
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk
This is sarcasm, I hope
If they get him, they’ll be able to set up a nasty pick and roll, and they’ll be much improved on D.
Cuz Amar'e is not a stretch 4... I would've been more concerned if it was Jamison
The Shaq/Amar’e combo didn’t exactly go so well in Phoenix, it’ll be interesting to watch in Cleveland
Don't Trade Rondo or Perk!
I would love for them to give up Hickson and acquire Jamison
They would be stuck with that contract for the next three seasons.
Because Amare went down with the eye injury
They were doing all right there, it took shaq 3o games to get in shape as always, and the Amare went down at the allstar break

game over. gives them a true PF in amare...lets varajo come off the bench. boston wasn't beating the cavs
before this….no shot now

Thing is
Varejao’s already coming off the bench.
People seem to have temporary amnesia. A frontcourt of Shaq and Amar'e was already tried
and failed.
But then again, it was this same time last year when everyone was ready to engrave the Cavaliers’ logo on the championship trophy… like the 1st round of Shaq and Amar’e, that ended really well.
Don't Trade Rondo or Perk!
Amnesia?
Seems you might`ve forgotten that the Cavs have some guy named LeBron James on their roster as well!
And they had him last year when they failed to reach the finals.
Everyone is so ready to hand over a trophy to Cleveland – let them actually win it first…
Don't Trade Rondo or Perk!
+1
to both replies. a shame when common sense has to be posted.

If they win it all
they should give Steve Kerr a ring too.
this is going to be pau gasol part 2....an all star player given away for wally and big Z
thanks steve kerr

Not really but,
If wally or Big Z end up becoming Marc Gasol the analogy might hold water.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
They need something back in return...
…something
Amare is a horrible defender
and last year proved he could not play with Shaq without allowing teams to shred them on pick and rolls like we did. He gives the Cavs nothing they are distinctly missing – and he is not the player he was at the beginning of last season. Jamison or Murphy are much scarier propositions …
I’m not saying Amare will ruin them (duh) … but this team became the favorites when they got a guy who could defend Dwight Howard competently (Shaq). Amare is a lateral move. Pau Gasol > Amare Stoudemire.
I admire the Patriots, but I LOVE the Sox.
Agree 100%
Amare is a horrible defender and doesn’t give anything they don’t already have.
You gotta be kiddin
Cleveleand already looks like the best team in the league. You add Amare to that mix and, oh my!
anyone else feel like boston has zero chance to make any noise?

like I asked you in the other thread,
do your eyes ever get strained from having such a dark view of things??
Don't Trade Rondo or Perk!
Well, they don't have him yet.
I’m not going to worry about it until they do. Probably won’t even worry about it then. I’m more concerned with what the C’s are going to do. Was looking forward to a little break from games and being depressed, so will wait to see how this all plays out and enjoy all-star weekend and the Olympics.
cleveland's better off not making any moves
…the way they’re playing. lakers couldn’t even beat them.
True
13 game win streak, 2 wins each vs lakers and Magic, and they think they need a one-dimensional PF?

cavs would only get stronger ..
if they get amarie it is all over not even orlando would beat them . as it looks now dannt is not planning on winning the title why would he shop ray ray he should start with sheed and sheldon first..
Depends on What the Cavs have to Give Up
When you swim in the creek
And an eel bites your cheek
That’s Amare
Hmm
The Cavs will have to give up some rotation players. More likely Hickson, Big Z and Varejao to match salaries. If that is the case, then Cleveland is making the team worst with this trade.
Whatever players Cleveland trades, if the Mavericks want Hickson then Cleveland will have to trade 3 players away to match salaries. Hope it goes through to shatter their chemistry.
Either way they still aren't beating the Lakers or a healthy Denver with or without Amare
If we can’t get good enough to beat those teams via a trade I would rather let everyone expire. It would take a trade similar to the one bandied about yesterday.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
oh and Hickson is overrated and product of LJ, fyi.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
Cleveland already the best team by far in the East
If they get Amare they can start printing tickets for the NBA finals. But, Danny still thinks the Celtics can win it all with what they have.
i honestly think after talking to some cavs fans they will go after jamison.
makes more sense for them…he could be had for less…allows them to keep hickson. he also provides a stretch forward they need. if the get either guys…they will be very hard to stop
by celticinorlando on Feb 13, 2010 9:40 AM EST reply actions
if Cleveland gets Amare, they are better
Someone mentioned that Hickson is a product of LeBron, never a truer word said. he is a fine player but nothing compared To Amare. There is enough season left to integrate him and they will win the East with perhaps a touch of challenge from an improving Orlando. The question becomes who they have to relinquish but given the Suns desire to move him regardless, it is going to be a pretty sig. coup for the Cavs. Looking forward to the finals.
