The rich may get richer and the Cavs are the rich. Amare Stoudemire may end up in Cleveland and would finally give LeBron James that teammate that could take the scoring load off of him. Amare could take over on nights when LeBron has an off night. Has LeBron ever had an off night? Well, anyway it is assumed that he would welcome the help.
Amare Stoudemire may end up a Cavalier
Rumors have the Cavs going for about every possible player in the league including Jamison of the Wizards and Murphy of the Pacers.
Sources indicate the Cavs, who first started talking to the Suns about their high-profile big man last month, are advancing talks to bring him to Cleveland.
It is possible there are discussions that would make it a larger deal. The Arizona Republic reported earlier this week that the Suns were hoping to get a team to take the contract of guard Jason Richardson in addition to Stoudemire to complete any deal. That has been a sticking point in talks with other teams, but it isn’t clear whether the Cavs would be willing to swallow such a package.

The Cavs are the leading team in the Eastern Division at the All Star break with a 43 – 11 record. No other team in the Division is even close. The Lakers are 41 – 13 in the East.
Oddly, Amare did not get along with Shaq in Phoenix and would be reunited with Shaq again. We would have to keep a close eye on that relationship.
Amare Stoudemire would give the Cavs a high scoring forward/center. He is averaging over 20 points and 8.9 rebounds over the course of his 7 and one half NBA years and is on this year’s All Star team. It is almost hard to believe that Amare Stoudemire could end up a Cleveland Cavalier. It would have to make them the odds on favorites to win the NBA Championship, if they aren’t already.
