check it out.  All the rumors swirling around the league are the suns need to make a move to cut payroll.  They're talking about trading amare to everyone from Sacramento to Chicago.  But if there goal is to get money off the books why not trade the player with less production and a bigger contract, right?

The problem is no one wants a run-down shaq for 20 mil for the next two years. 

Well NY has a problematic PG who makes $21.9, and his contract expires this year. 

Swapping them allows for phoenix to get salary relief at the end of this year without trading their best player. 

New York erases the Marbury headache, gets frontcourt help in the form of a legit center, and I'll give you one guess when his contract comes up.  summer of '10 baby.  everyone gets what they want.
