Jammin Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Suns will make a pair of sign-and-trade deals as part of forward Amar'e Stoudemire's departure. Phoenix will swing deals with New York and Chicago, netting a $16.5 million trade exception from the Knicks and using it as part of Hakim Warrick's acquisition. Happy Waters, the agent for Stoudemire, told Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic of the sign-and-trades. The trade exception of $16.5 million is equal to Stoudemire's first-year salary in New York and means that Phoenix would be landing a player like David Lee in return.

I'm OK with a 15/10 player instead of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 David Lee is a terrific pick n roll player. He'd thrive playing next to Nash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 15/10? You can expect numbers close to Amare with Steve Nash next year if he goes there, this is a huge pickup for them, not to mention he will only get like 10M or so probably, that leaves them another chunk of money to sign someone like Mike Miller.... this could be huge for them.

Jammin Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well I'm just going on what was expected og him elsewhere. I know everyone's stats get 'inflated' when they play with Nash, so I'm hoping for a 20/8 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well I'm just going on what was expected og him elsewhere. I know everyone's stats get 'inflated' when they play with Nash, so I'm hoping for a 20/8 team. He averaged 20/12 on 55% shooting with Chris Duhon at PG. He's the 2nd best PnR big in the league next to Amare. He's going to be terrific on the Suns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) I'm happy for Nash, I didn't want him finishing his career with a [expletive]ty squad, atleast with Lee they'll be a playoff team.

fish7718 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 No Lee sorry The Suns will use Amar’e Stoudemire’s official departure today to make a pair of sign-and-trade deals with New York and Chicago, netting the Suns a $16.5 million trade exception from the Knicks and using part of that for Hakim Warrick’s acquisition, according to Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters. Walters said the trade exception the Suns are receiving in return for first signing Stoudemire to his five-year, $99.7 million contract with New York is for $16.5 million, equivalent to Stoudemire’s first-year salary. That means the Suns will not be getting a player, like free agent David Lee in return. The Suns could use the trade exception over the next year to acquire a player of less than or close to the exception’s value (about $13.5 million after the Warrick deal is done) without having to send any Suns players in a deal.

Guest STL10 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Call me crazy, but Lee is better than Stoudemire. Lee is a better passer, shooter, post scorer, and defender than Amar'e. Yet, Amar'e is flashier and more athletic. Edited July 8, 2010 by STL10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
