Trade Amare?

Hi there - I'm a long-time (15 years) Suns fan and have been checking this site for my Suns news and gossip for quite a while. Things have gotten so crazy this year, I decided it was time to stop lurking and sign up!

Has anybody seen this article on Amare by Steve Aschburner at SI? Pretty harsh stuff ... I thought it was a well-written critique of Amare and explains exactly why most Suns fans are ready to trade him.

He certainly doesn't help himself when he says stuff like this:

"If (Nash) is the brain (of the team), I must be the heart, huh?"

or this:

"I can't really point at myself now. I put in a lot of hard work this off-season."

I mean, he really doesn't have a clue, does he?

Still, I'm  not entirely convinced trading him is really the best thing for the team - but of course it doesn't matter what I think – he's as good as gone, especially with Sarver getting involved.

Anyway, I thought it was a good article ...
