Amare Loves NYC And DC

[Dirtbag59]

Could it be? Could we finally be getting the big man we've needed?

"Um, I love D.C., quote, end quote," Stoudemire said, eliciting oohs and ahhs and a follow-up question about how he sounded interested by this prospect. His answer?

"I love D.C, quote, end quote," he repeated.

"I'm going into my eighth year in the NBA, and it's time for a championship," he said moments later. Joking aside, he was asked how far away the Wiz were from contending for one of them trophy things.

"You might just be a No. 1 jersey away," he said. -- The Washington Post

To acquire Stoudemire, the Wizards would have to ship out one of their three All-Stars, the No. 5 pick and possibly an expiring contract.

But before you get excited, I'm told Stoudemire to the Wizards "has no legs," according to a knowledgeable source, who also adds that the Suns haven't even contacted Washington as a potential trade partner to rid themselves of Stoudemire. -- The Washington Times

That last snippet doesn't really give me the warm and fuzzies. I'd love to have him though. He and Antawn's numbers are similar (both avg around 22 points, 8-9 rebounds), but Amare turns 27 this year, whereas Jamison turns 33 in a few weeks.
