What's Wrong w/Amare Stoudemire - LATEST KG/AMARE TRADE RUMOR

The reason why I am asking about Amare is that Minnesota has now brought in Charlotte as the third team for the KG to Phoenix deal. According to ESPN....


"The Wolves have contacted the Charlotte Bobcats to try to help facilitate a deal for Garnett, one day after a potential three-way deal with the Phoenix Suns and the Atlanta Hawks hit a roadblock. According to sources, the Wolves are asking the Bobcats to give up the No. 8 pick along with an undisclosed player. In the proposed deal, Garnett would go to Phoenix, and the Suns would send Amare Stoudemire to Charlotte. The Bobcats would also be required to take Suns guard Marcus Banks."

My question is why won't Minnesota just deal with Phoenix straight up for Amare. Instead of getting a #8 and an undisclosed player? It seems like Minnesota is come hell or high water trade Garnett TONIGHT!!!! And the later it gets the worst the value is. so why not just build around Stoudemire and why is Phoenix even entertaining moving him. They say they have had no conversations for him, but it is what they are not saying that speaks the loudest.
 
Cap space.

The Hawks are somewhere around 8 mil under the cap and the Bobcats are somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 mil under the cap if I remember correctly.

Garnett is doubly hard to move not just because he is a marquee player but because he is the highest paid player in the league.

Also, since Minnesota is looking to start over, they want ending contracts, young players and picks which are hard to add up to KG's salary. A third team with cap room makes that easier.

Why wouldn't Minny want to start over WITH Amare? Doesn't make any sense.

That is what I am saying!!!!

You can clear all the cap you want, if nobody wants to go to Minnesota it is a moot issue. and who wants to play for Minnesota without KG or a comparable franchise player.

Plus on top of that, why is not Phoenix coming out and saying WE WILL NEVER TRADE STOUDEMIRE if he is your franchise player.
