Also don't forget what a stud Tim Thomas was in Phoenix, probably one of their top 5 players ever. That is why they were holding on giving us Amare, they needed us to get Tim Thomas to go with Tyrus Thomas, and the deal should now be sealed.
I know it is popular theory to say Garnett was a gift to Boston, but please, name me any core piece on the Bulls(back then) that could even hold Al Jeffersons' jock.
Some rumors from RealGM http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/57332/20090218/bulls_still_havent_given_up_on_stoudemire/ Bulls moving Hinrich to Minny for an expiring to use in the Amare deal? There is also a rumor floating around about Tyrus for Kamam should the Amare deal not happen. I'd vomit at that. I hate Kaman..he is overrated, and white.
In the back of my mind I knew Kobe seemed like a pipe dream, so I didn't get too excited and I never gave a Howry about Brian Roberts..as he is the basketball equivlant of Shane Battier. But this seams so possible..it's surreal. A year ago this franchised seemed so doomed, and now we could have a Rose/Amare combo...pinch me.
Amare has to be a Bull. If he isn't that would be a span of less than six month's where I had false hopes about two superstars..Jake Peavy being the other. I can't be tazed like that. It just ain't right.
and since ownership isn't changing in th near future, it's hardly worth constantly bringing up. It is when people want to take swings at a GM like Paxson for things that are out of his control.
