Re: Amar'e Safari: Officially The Greatest Thead in RCF HISTORY !
I know we have talked for hundreds of pages on STAT vs Jamison, but my two cents...
(If we resign Stoudamire - He will be a solid offensive weapon, and the best player Lebron has ever played with (the same could be said for Amare about Lebron). He is younger than Jamison, and offers our team an immediate window of a potential run at championships. When will we get a chance to make a move like this agin and aquire someone who has the talent level of Amare. This is as close as attaining Chris Bosh/Joe Johnson/player X as we will come in the next 2-3 years, maybe longer - do we really want to keep making roster changes as often as this (4 player trades, altering key pieces of our starting lineup year after year. Now, if we are giving up marginal role players (JJ green, picks, etc) for a player of amare's calber you have to make that deal based on the incraese in overall team ability.
- if we get amare our overall team talent level will rise, and he will be the best player lebron has ever player with.
Jamison - he is aging. His window at most is 2 years, before we try to insert JJ into a more meaningful role (35 mins). Jamison would fit in with this team immediately, and gives us about 1/2 years of a run at a title.
JJ's potential = a poor man's amare
Amare ensures us of a solid run (3-5 years) of seriously contending at a championship...
LBJ wants it to happen.
Now, if he goes to miami, I am not as worried, however, which team has more potential...
Dwyane Wade with Amare or Lebron with Amare...with our talent...
