Any trade involving Amare shipped out of Phoenix is completely bogus. This is all a high-stakes game of poker, with Timberwolves GM Mchale doing everything he can to get the best deal for KG. I think the Suns caught wind that LA might be getting KG and stepped in at the last moment to throw a wrench in that plan. They are no doubt salivating at the thought of Kobe being out of the Western conference.

Amare is awesme and young (24). I don't know why Suns want to give him away for KG(30?), who only has a good few years remaining (3-4) i'd say. Same for trading Marion, who is pretty young as well.
I guess it makes sense if you note that Nash is 32 and also has a few good years left. It makes sense for KG and Nash to try to win championships before they retire.. and then the Suns will really be screwed (Mario, Barbosa, who else?)

I'm a huge Timberwolves and KG fan and this deal would suck for the Wolves.
Granted, the Wolves team sucks right now and our front office is too stupid to assemble a decent team around him, but a couple of draft picks and cap space for someone of KG's caliber? No thanks. What's to keep those young guys from bolting once their rookie contracts are over? NBA players aren't exactly dying to play in Minnesnowta.

looks like a really crappy deal for MN (I am from MN btw), they would be fools to accept that kind of a deal. #3 and #11 pick with unknown NBA abilities for KG? I dont think so.

This would be incredibly stupid of Atlanta. They need a PG desperately and can pick one up with the #3 or #11 picks if they so choose. They've got enough forwards already.
But hey, it's Billy Knight so I wouldn't expect anything less.

It depends if they can somehow sign a free agent PG like Bibby or Billups. Atlanta has always been a dead end, but if they had Amare, Joe Johnson, and Josh Smith, then add a quality PG and suddenly they're a quality team (on paper).
