Ric Bucher reported on Sportscenter today that the Bulls are one of three teams who have offers on the table for Amare. I don't have a link since it was on TV, but this surprises me given all the Bulls beat guys have basically said we don't have much interest in him. What say you, BaB?

I say
Yaaaayy. Our front office is alive
I'm cuckoo for Kukoc!!!
I'm buying tickets for Feb. 20th. First home game after the trade deadline. Will I be happy?

right,
Might be Brad Miller and Jerome James.
At least they’re trying.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
It would be awesome if it was a combo of
Kirk Hinrich
Taj Gibson (youth Phx wants)
James Johnson (Well he’s young)
Jerome James
Straight up for Amare…. this works in the trade machine
Of course I’d hope Kerr wasn’t that big of a moron (but hell he traded Shaq for the ability to buy out old man Wallace and Pavlovic when I’m sure for ticket sales alone he could have given them something real in return and saved a few bucks)….
Sadly....through thick and thin....
3 years in a row
Marion for Shaq was a terrible trade (not in value, but in styles of play, that was a panic massive trade for a team that needed a minor tweak); then he further worsened it by trading away Shaq for 2 pennies and a dime.
We have hope.
Sadly....through thick and thin....
Kerr needs to
Kevin McHale us, Taj Gibson can be their Al Jefferson, lmao

I say it's the most obvious move out there
And it’s what we’re waiting for before making other deals.
I tend to think the Heat will get it done though. Beasley (on a rookie deal) + expirings seems like the most obviously beneficial piece the Suns could get.

How about
Deng/Tyrus/Pargo for Amare/Collins? Eh?
Thrusting toward the playoffs, one game at a time.
If they want to offer Deng, then yeah, maybe that changes the equation a bit
I think I remember it rumored that the Suns like Deng. So I’d guess if they don’t want to be seen as cheap, that’s a pretty solid deal for them.
I’d probably still go with paying Beasley on a rookie deal, if I were the Suns, but I haven’t thought too much about how crazy Beasley is or is not.
Aren't they trading Amare to chop salary?
I can’t see them adding Deng.
That
Chops what $4-5K next year for them….and well Deng’s pretty good.
Too bad they still ahve Jason Richardson making a ridiculous unwarranted salary.
Sadly....through thick and thin....
Actually nevermind
I guess the hangup is Amare wants to be paid more than the Suns think he’s worth. Their salary situation isn’t that bad.
It’s a pretty crazy idea, but it could work. I guess I’d rather have Amare for 2 years than Tyrus’ expiring and Luol’s mega contract, but I also think the Bulls can get more than just Amare for that package. Earl Clark for James Johnson would be a nice throw in.
What more could they get?
Maybe if Bosh choke holds Brian Colangelo down to a table and carves “I’m leaving!” into his cheeks with a piece of broken glass, then Colangelo would entertain the idea of Bosh for Deng+Tyrus.
holy shit thats violent. thats the trade deadline meets "titus andronicus".

Another blog
Says it Kirk, TT, & a 1st rounder. They said they heard Bucher say it, but I haven’t seen any links to back it up, so I am guessing it is just speculaltion.

That's way too good to be true
We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.

Odd... Isn't that the same package that Boers and Bernstein reported
was being discussed for Chris Bosh about 3 weeks ago?
Deng has to be included.
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wondering through a forest.-Neil Funk
not really sure why any team...
Would want kirk and tt in a package bc they have proven to have no connection or chemistry on the floor.

Nash is getting old and needs fewer minutes...plus he isn't a good defender.

I'm sure John Paxson would be joyed to be able to trade for Amare and still sign another 2010 free agent.
Really, the Suns seem intent on taking back a player. If we are able to trade Deng, and have Amare come back in, while unloading Hinrich in a separate deal, why wouldn’t you do that?
We could go into next season with a core of Rose, Amare, Gibson, and Noah. If we have max cap space, we’re going to be by far the most attractive free agent destination.

That would be pretty sweet
And I do think it’d get us max cap room, even if Salmons sticks around. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing… we plug him into the 3 and we’re in good shape.
You know what
I’m all for it.
I had my reservations, but worst case is we get Amare, not a bad thing (I was all for Amare BIG BIG time last year but have seen him dog it time and again). Still if motivated he can be great.
If he doesnt’ work out, he could be a chip in our sign and trade request for a Bosh or Wade next year….
If he does work out then he and Rose with Noah can take over….
I presume an Amare trade comes with a Deng departure….and because Amar’e has the tools to defend but doesn’t and will want to make a max salary, I’ve been lukewarm this year….but so be it. Take a risk, and we shall see.
Sadly....through thick and thin....
Everyday it's the same rumor
At noon he’s as good as gone and by midnight it’s unlikely he’ll be traded. I’m tired of all these rumors. I want to see something happen.
The mania is still runnin' wild and the madness still flows through the veins.
