Players often feel a bigger bond with the 2nd team, the one that paid them when the first team balked. Hence Piazza the Met.
I don't see the comparison. Piazza played the majority of his career with the Mets, went to a World Series with them, and had many other memorable moments. Amare played far more of his career with the Suns and had his biggest career moments there.

They were willing to give him all that money on an uninsurable knee. In a way, I understand there must be a certain level of 'thank you' at play.
