Here’s what went down Wednesday on Gambo & Ash,

Sports 620 KTAR’s Dave Burns filled in for the vacationing John Gambadoro.

Staying Put?…The Amare Stoudemire trade tale took a twist Tuesday when sources reported he would rather stay put here in Phoenix for two reasons.  One, he feels the Suns have more proven talent than the Warriors and second, he doesn’t want to play center, which he would in Don Nelson’s offense.  Ash and Burnsy agree Phoenix is a better fit for STAT, especially without Shaq, who takes up space in the paint and, more importantly (at least for Amare), shots and scoring opportunities.  Rudy Fernandez is upset with the Blazers.  Burnsy and Ash believe he would be a perfect fit in the Suns’ system.

Summer Shopping…Free-agency is underway and reports say the Suns and Spurs have interest in free-agent forward Lamar Odom.  Ash believes he would be a perfect fit here with his length, defense and versatility.  Burnsy thinks Odom is a classic underachiever because of his “faulty motor.”  In short, Odom has never lived up to the hype he had coming out of college.  Would a STAT trade to the Lakers be more beneficial to Phoenix that pulling off a deal with the Warriors?  Believe it, Suns fans.  The guys sure think so if Phoenix could pry Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar and sign-and-trade for Lamar Odom.  The trios’ combined salaries would nearly mirror Stoudemire’s.

We were joined by good friend of the program, former Diamondbacks announcer, now Reds and FOX broadcaster THOM BRENNAMAN.  He broke down Tuesday night’s 6-1 Diamondback win and how he and the Reds’ broadcast team thought Dan Haren had “the stuff” to throw a no-hitter at the Great American Ballpark.

No Surgery…Brandon Webb has opted not to have surgery, instead hoping to continue rehabbing his shoulder with the hopes of returning to the mound sometime in September.  “Webby” just completed his three-city tour seeing specialists regarding his injured right soldier.  Burnsy feels going under the knife, thus ending his season, would lead the Diamondbacks not to pick up his $8.5 million option for 2010 because it would signify a big question mark for the former Cy Young Award Winner moving forward.  Ash thinks convincing Webb to have surgery and, in good faith, picking up his option would appease both parties.  Dave thinks the contract situation plays a major role in all this.

We caught up with our baseball insider TIM KURKJIAN from ESPN.  He broke down the latest news surrounding the Diamondbacks, including Brandon Webb’s decision to forego surgery and hopefully return sometime in September.  Kurkjian said Dan Haren has a shot at the NL Cy Young, but he’d vote for Tim Lincecum if the ballot was due today.

The Untouchables…Just before Dan Haren took the hill against the Reds, a report surfaced saying the Angels inquired about talking trade with the D-backs ace.  The proposed deal was immediately shot down with one Diamondbacks’ official saying Haren was untouchable.  Burnsy feels one MLB star is far and away the most untouchable.  Albert Pujols.  Ash is certain the Yankees would never trade Derek Jeter.  Both feel Peyton Manning, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwight Howard would be at the top of the list.

Money Maker$…SI.com released the list of the 50 most wealthy American athletes.  No surprise, Tiger Woods topped the list making just over $99 million but the guys were stunned Phil Mickelson came in #2, making just under $53 million-including a whopping $46 million in endorsements.  Burnsy wasn’t shocked Peyton Manning was in the Top 10, but surprised he didn’t check in higher than #10.

NHL Deputy Commissioner BILL DALY discussed the most recent developments surrounding the Phoenix Coyotes and why he feels pro hockey can thrive in the desert.  He confirmed Jerry Reinsdorf’s $148 million bid to keep the ‘Yotes in Glendale and says there is passion for hockey here and it’s the NHL’s goal to keep the team here in Arizona.

East Valley Tribune columnist Scott Bordow will be in for Gambo on Thursday.
