![]() Phoenix would be smart to take Beasley and O'neal's fat contract...
they'd get a stud sf/pf and have 20 million off the cap in the offseason. for a team thats on the verge of blowing it up, this would be the best possible scenario for them... they get a youngster and money to grab a top FA in the summer... all for a guy who was probably not coming back next year. easy. |

2010 hits and they can use Amare in a S+T for Bosh. No this does not end the Bosh rumours and that would make it worthwhile giving up Beasley. |

Unless you would want Amare at max contract back if you were BC. I sure wouldn't. I would at least want Beasley with that ![]() (and Amare paid a lil less.) |

![]() the thing that i love is how badly Wade has Miami by the balls.
they are willing to fuck that whole team up just to get a big name on the roster and make Wade happy. it kinda reminds me of what Grunwald did to accomodate VC. They want to add a star to play beside Wade so badly that they arent looking at the big picture. if this is true and they are interested in this trade, my question is why? Beasley is 20 years old - putting up 16/8 consistantly.... O'neal's contract is huge, and would allow them to grab a top tier FA in 2010. they'd give that up for a fringe superstar who puts up 20/10??? when one player's happiness dictates an organizations future; you know you are in trouble. Miami is in big trouble. |

This doesn't make sense to you, in part, because you're smart enough to see that Amar'e isn't worth max money. However, other GM's might be desperate for his services. INSIDER is touching on that point when he highlights how Wade has Riley and the Heat by the family jewels. Quote:
Phoenix is an attractive location. I agree. If they want a new FA, it's more a question of can they ditch enough salary along with Amar'e in order to create the cap space to go after somebody of significance. In my opinion, if this trade happens, they might hold off for a year as part of bigger plan. Also, Phoenix's owner is reportedly sort of cheap. He may just want to cut costs for a year or two, lose some games to get high picks, and then draft well. But that's just my bullshit opinion. |

I seriously don't think Amare will stay with Miami after the season. Even if he does he'll want a lot of cash. So Wade plus Amare doesn't work out after 2010. IMO keeping Beasley would be better for them cuz he'll be there for sure and who knows he might end up becoming a good player |

![]() If there is one upper tier player who does NOT deserve max money under any circumstance...it's Amare in my opinion.
Guy has game, but a bad attitude, little D and he's one finger poke away from half blindness. |

Why wouldn't Amare not stay in Miami? They'll have enough to re-sign him at the end of the season and he already stated that he would like to play in Miami. And saying that Beasley would be better for them because who knows he might end up becoming a good player is not really good reasoning. Beasley COULD be develop into a fantastic player, but COULD is a tricky word. Wade wants to win now. |

![]() OKaay so will they honestly have enough money to sign both Wade and Amae next season and other bench pieces as well? If so why don't they just wiat till the offseason to sign him outright without giving up anything?

If Miami trades O'neal and Beasley for Amar'e, they will be getting a decent player back. Most likely it will be Barbossa, who is locked up for next season. Miami will have Chalmers and Cook under contract, and they will also hold birds rights on players like Haslem, Q-Rich, and Joel Anthony. In addition to the birds rights they still have, the Heat could use the mid-level exception (MLE) to sign another solid rotation player. With the economy hurting, and the salary cap likely to fall next year, the MLE will probably be enough to acquire a decent player next year. In fact, the Heat could use it to bring O'neal back, if Riley wanted. So, hypothetically speaking, if this trade went down, the Heat's lineup could look like this next season: Staters: Chalmers Wade Q-Rich (or wing signed with the MLE) Haslem Amar'e Bench: Barbossa (solid 6th man) Cook Joel Anthony Q-Rich (or a player signed with the MLE) And this lineup could change depending on how they spend the MLE. If they brough back JO, he could start or make their bench even more solid. Or, the Heat might use the MLE on a solid wing and move Q-Rich to the bench. I'm not saying I like this roster; I'm just answering your question. You asked why they wouldn't wait until the offseason to sign him outright. Well, that is risky because another GM might be stupid enough to give Amar'e max money....a team like the Knicks could get desperate for a free agent. This is what I already said on this issue: Quote:

When it comes to 2010 free agency, the GMs are juggling a bunch of stuff in their minds in anticipation of what someone else might do. That's part of the reason some of these rumours seem whacky. |

![]() I don't think Donnie Walsh is clearing cap space just to sign Amare Stoudemire. Besides, they do have Jordan Hill who they are high on and have been reluctant to include him in any trade talks. If the Knicks are going to throw a ton of money at someone other than Lebron, Wade or Bosh, it's gonna be at someone like a 2-guard (ie Joe Johnson)
