Amare Stoudemire

[theghost_03]

Just heard on ESPN the pups were in talks with the Suns for Stoudemire, two other teams also in talks with them? Any other insight??

[mrklean]

I heard the suns are trying to dumb him but want draft picks and young guns. I see no reason to trade for him we have no chance at the playoffs and he is a free agent after next season.

[CJH]

I'd take him, but not for much since he is going to be a free agent. They only way you give more is for a sign and trade kind of deal where you lock him up.

[ozzie]

I agree why would the Wolves want him when he will become a free agent in a year and the Wolves have stated they are 2-5 years away from being a playoff contender. Plus he is going to be asking for top dollar and someone will pay him and that would hurt all the cap space we have cleared plus it sounds like we would have to give up some prospects/draft picks also.

[hector00]

I think it would be the big name player that the t pups need on the team. They get lucky and get the first pick in the draft and get Wall I think that we would have a pretty good outlook. Trade Rubio to the suns he isnt going to ever play in Minnesota anyways

[Coach1310]

Doesn't make sense to me... a POWER FORWARD.... we already have too many of those.

[CJH]

Agreed, we don't really need another power forward, however he is better than either of the ones we have......

[Scott M]

There is going to be a ton of trading with the huge disparity in revenues this year...some teams are taking it on the chin with ticket sales and can't pay some of these guys on losing teams. The rich are going to get richer; teams making championship runs will add expensive pieces if the get a huge upside in talent.

I could see the Wolves dealing if they could extend Stoudemire or get someone else in a multi-team trade.

one word cole alrdrich

[vman11]

Two words actually..

Sorry, I had to do it...

[Brade4]

Cole Alrdich isn't going to be the difference maker for the Wolves.

[ozzie]

one word cole alrdrich

he will be another Joel Pryzibela (sp) I hope they pass on him!!!! unless he drops to late 1st round or early 2nd (which he won't)

[CJH]

Unless you can get a genetic freak of a big man like ShaQ or Howard, the play makers in the NBA are guards/wingmen.

I think Cole is a good college player, but don't see it in the Pro's.

[Juan Grande]

Amare doesn't play any better defense than Love or Jefferson. I will shoot myself if they take Aldrich.

[ozzie]

Just don't make the shot fatal or have it effect your fishing!! LOL cause I could definatly see them moving a draft pick or 2 and moving up in the middle of the draft to get Aldrich if he is still available......I am pretty sure they would not waste a top 10 pick on him though

[Juan Grande]

I'd be fine with them using their second pick or trading up with their lower picks, but he should not go top 5.

[PierBridge]

I don't think we'll be taking Aldrich he's going top 6 or so .

Love to have him though!

I think the big problem is Stoudemire is not going to want to play for the Wolves. End of story.
