The tension builds as the NBA trade deadline inches closer. Will he stay or will he go? The "he" of course, is Amare Stoudemire. The "will he" seems more of a matter of when than if.

Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports a three-way trade between Detroit, Philly and Phoenix has at least been talked about. Keaton (a.k.a. the Trade Talker) doesn't like the frontcourt return for Phoenix, while Matt marvels at trades happening (or not happening) because of finances rather than basketball. As for Stoudemire himself, if you have a better trade in mind for Phoenix, or other questions/comments, please e-mail them to [...]

Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns
There's no denying that Steve Nash is the "engine" that makes the Phoenix Suns run. It is also tough to argue that when Nash is happy, that "engine" runs at full horsepower. While the Suns are in the midst of a five-game win streak in which Nash averaged 17.6 points and 11.8 assists, trade speculation and rumors have surrounded [...]

NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge
The starting center for the Western Conference All-Stars feels he's underappreciated in the NBA. It's not that Amare Stoudemire feels his current skills are underappreciated, he doesn't even feel that people lack respect for what he's accomplished since 2005. He isn't even frustrated because of current trade rumors or the lack of a contract extension. No, Stoudemire, the Phoenix Suns leading [...]

NBA: Dallas vs Phoenix Nov 4
He had 36 points and 11 rebounds in Houston, and the Suns won. He had 25 points and 12 rebounds in New Orleans, and the Suns won. He had 20 points and 17 boards in Denver, and Phoenix won in a boat race. There is no denying that the Suns are a better basketball team by leaps and bounds when Amar’e Stoudemire leaps [...]

NBA: Bucks vs 76ers JAN 27
Yeah, I know I just went on an entire rant about how I'm sick of Amare Stoudemire trade rumors, but what the internet wants, the internet gets. According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the Phoenix Suns have interest in trading Amare and filler to the Philadelphia 76ers for Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert. Not a rumor we haven't [...]

Anyone else sick of hearing rumors about Amare Stoudemire? I certainly am. Trade rumors make for great web traffic numbers and interesting debates, but after over two years of talk, I'm at my breaking point. There are only so many times one person can go to the ESPN Trade Machine to see if salaries match and only so many "Amare is a slacker" jokes that can be made [...]
