As we all know he’s been on the trading block for the last year or so. I decided to try a trade and a found this one the best:

Portland having Stoudemire with Roy would be amazing
Phoenix would get a young center when Shaq leaves & Bayless when Nash leaves

I wasn’t sure about giving up Aldridge, so yeah, opinions?

[FutureoftheGame]

Shaq is already gone, and without him, they need Amare to have any kind of size. I do like Bayless with the Suns.

[Lemons4LifeParticipant]

I forgot shaq left. lol sorry!!!!!!

[FutureoftheGame]

Its cool man. But without Shaq, the other big is Robin Lopez. While he is pretty good, he isnt ready to start yet. Louis Amunduson or Stromile Swift arent starters either. So, unless they get a good big in return, they need Amare.

[McWinningParticipant]

i dont think so because it would be harder to resign Amare than Aldridge.

[redbaboonParticipant]

i don’t think they’d give up aldridge right now. he could be very good in a few years, and aren’t roy and aldridge good friends? it would probably benefit them, but i don’t think blazers would do it.

[Bryant24Participant]

Yea i dont think they will get aldridge up even if they get amare they have alot of chemistry between them and i think it would be a good trade for webster and bayless especially bayless to show people what he can do given the right amount of minutes.

Amare isn’t tryin 2 sign a extension 2 play for Portland when he can play for a team like Miami but him playing with Roy would be nice

[FutureoftheGame]

I would love to see him in Miami but I think they would have to give up Beasley and another young player to get him.

That’s not a bad trade, but to me that means getting rid of Barbosa if you are sold on Bayless. Though Barbosa is the more proven player. Even though he plays no defense and doesn’t rebound like he should, there aren’t many guys that I would trade Amare for. I think it’s a great trade for Portland. That gives them two all stars and a nice surrounding cast, but I’m not sold on him staying in Portland when his contract is up. If they believe they can win right now, then they should go for it, but I still think they are at least 2 years and a healthy Oden away from that.

[Toronto16Participant]

I really like this trade… Isn’t really bad for either team… But the Blazers seem to be really high on Bayless

[blazer_fan_foreverParticipant]

I guarantee that Portland wouldn’t even accept the trade if it was Lamarcus straight up. Lamarcus is way younger and is still improving. Amare is better, but I think he’s a defensive liability and he’d take shots away from Roy…Lamarcus and Roy work really well together.
