In NY State of Mind, Amar’e Stoudemire Still Has Teams Waiting 2010 NBA Free Agents, Amare Stoudemire, Suns News | (0)
by Sam AmickFiled under: Bulls, Knicks, Nets, Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsAs Amar'e Stoudemire shared with the New York media late Saturday night, the free-agent forward has quite the master plan in mind for his possible Knicks tenure. He claims San Antonio point guard Tony Parker and Denver small forward Carmelo Anthony are ready to join him in the Big Apple, although his grand vision would be quite the logistical challenge for New York president Donnie Walsh when it actually comes time to pull off a trade for the two marquee players. But two sources who spoke with FanHouse and have ...

Suns Replace Amar’e With Hakim Warrick 2010 NBA Free Agents, Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Hakim Warrick, Robert Sarver, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA Transactions, NBA Free AgentsPhoenix couldn't find middle ground with eight-year Sun Amar'e Stoudemire despite months and months of negotiation. Consider today's news that Phoenix has reached a three-year, $12 million agreement with Hakim Warrick a full acknowledgment that Stoudemire's Suns career is over. John Gambadoro of Phoenix's 620 AM reported the contract figures after Yahoo!'s Marc Spears initially reported the deal. The contract will apparently have a fourth-year team option at $6 million. Warrick, who spent four middling seasons with the Grizzlies before splitting last year between the Bucks and Bulls, joins ...

Report: Suns Keep Channing Frye 2010 NBA Free Agents, Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Suns News | (0)
by Matt MooreFiled under: Suns, NBA Free AgentsYou hope if you have a year like the Suns did, coming out of nowhere to make the Western Conference finals, that you have an opportunity to make another run with the same core. It's so difficult in the modern salary-cap era. And it's unlikely to happen for the Suns since Amar'e Stoudemire wants that fifth year in his contract so bad he can taste the Mojitos on South Beach. But they'll at least be getting part of that bench mob band back together. KTAR in Phoenix is reporting that the Suns have reached ...

The Economic Quandary of 2010 Max Players 2010 NBA Free Agents, Amare Stoudemire, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, joe johnson, LeBron James, Suns News | (0)
by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Knicks, Raptors, Suns, NBA Free Agents There is no one -- I mean, no one -- who doesn't believe LeBron James should get the most money an NBA player can be legally tendered. This generosity, of course, comes with limits, and these limits are called the salary caps. James is only eligible to earn X amount of money, based on the reigning Collective Bargaining Agreement and LeBron's tenure in the league. Bored yet? Here's the simple part: The NBA sets parameters for how much superstars like LeBron can be paid. The question is, what ...

Report: LeBron to Chicago ‘a Done Deal’ 2010 NBA Free Agents, Amare Stoudemire, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, joe johnson, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Knicks, Raptors, Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsLeBron James has decided against going on a free agency tour of the five cities that have made his short list of places (along with Cleveland) where he'd like to play next season, and will instead hold those meetings at home. The reason for this change of plans could be due to the backlash from fans and media alike over the idea, or it could be that James simply would like to hold court in his own castle, and be treated like the NBA royalty ...

Amar’e Stoudemire Opts Out of Phoenix Contract 2010 NBA Free Agents, Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Happy Walters, Robert Sarver, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Suns, NBA Free Agents Earlier Wednesday, there was hope for the Phoenix Suns to hold on to star forward Amar'e Stoudemire before he could opt out of his contract by the end of the day. But soon that hope was gone. Stoudemire's agent, Happy Walters, confirmed to FanHouse that Stoudemire will opt out of his contract by the deadline at the end of Wednesday and become a free agent Thursday, but didn't offer further comment. Walters had first told Yahoo! Sports his client will opt out of his deal but will continue to negotiate with the Suns. "The offer ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Suns, NBA Free AgentsIt's going down to the wire, but the Phoenix Suns still have one exclusive final shot at Amar'e Stoudemire.

Stoudemire can opt out of his contract by Wednesday's deadline, which would make him a free agent Thursday. "He's willing to listen to see what they have to say,'' ...

Steve Kerr’s Departure Affects Amar’e Stoudemire’s Decision 2010 NBA Free Agents, Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Happy Walters, Robert Sarver, Steve Kerr, Suns News | (0)
by Sam AmickFiled under: Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA Transactions, NBA Free AgentsWhen Happy Walters answered the phone on Tuesday afternoon, the agent for Phoenix forward Amar'e Stoudemire hardly lived up to his name. Asked how he was doing, he replied with, "I've had better days." The root of his unhappiness was the sudden departure of Phoenix president of basketball operations Steve Kerr, the man with whom Walters had worked with for so long to keep Stoudemire in the Valley of the Sun. Over the course of the past few months, the two men negotiated about as amicably as parties on opposing sides ...

by FanHouse NewswireFiled under: Suns, NBA RumorsGILBERT, Ariz. (AP) -- Amar'e Stoudemire will opt out of the final year of his contract if he doesn't re-sign with the Phoenix Suns before the deadline at the end of this month. Stoudemire, speaking at his basketball camp Tuesday, said he deserves a maximum contract and would like it to be with Phoenix, where he has played since he was drafted out of high school in 2002. The All-Star power forward said there was "no chance" he would exercise the final year of his contract with the Suns, which would pay him about $17 ...
