Whatup Suns fans? I'm not too sure how serious folks are about trading Amare but I havean idea that I think might work for both teams. Here it goes:

Amare and Leandro for David West and Peja Stojackovic and a first and/or Julian Wright.

If the Suns are serious, I think this is a pretty valuable package of vets and a good prospect. David West is a 20 point a game  scorer and Peja is still one of the best three point shooters. Financially this deal also makes sense because D West's contract gets smaller  every year. I think Nash has really been affected by the lack of two three point shooters on the court at a time. I love Grant Hill but he doesn't  spread the floor as well as a sniper like Peja would. Julian Wright hasn't been getting alot of playing time this year, but I think he would give you a super athletic stopper and energy guy. If you wanted the contracts to match we could throw in a second and get Duflye in return. Also, David West is much more used to 2nd banana status then Amare. His game is predicated on the high post game. Amare has a sweet jumper, but I don't think he is really used to relying on catch and shoot oppurtunities from Shaq. He has never really had to share the post with another big, and its tough for him to get comfortable in that role. David is much more used to operating in open spaces and merely taking with the defense gives him. He doesn't need to dominate the ball to be effective.

The deal obviously works for the Hornets. We get one of the best low post scorers in the game and an excellent instant offense 6th man which we really need. I love David, but Amare is more efficient, and having him would both force us to pick up our pace (which is when we are most effective) and allow  CP to defer more, which is the role in he is most comfortable and effectivein. Losing Peja would also force us to start Posey which will help us defensively. We'd have two big defensive wings who can shoot the three, and Leandro would get about 30 minutes of the bench.

Thoughts?
