overpowering force on offense, but his defense remains a

PlutoCLEVELAND, Ohio -- Talking to myself about the Amar'e
Stoudemire rumors ...  Question: Should the Cavs trade for
Amar'e Stoudemire?  Answer: Part of me likes the idea of adding
another All-Star to a lineup with LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal
and Mo Williams -- who have been All-Stars within the last two
years.  Q: So why not call Phoenix and give up J.J. Hickson
along with Zydrunas Ilgauskas and maybe a first-rounder to get
it done?  A: I'll pass.  Q: Pass on what?  A: Pass on
Stoudemire, especially if it costs the Cavs Hickson.
