Amaré Stoudemire and his agent have not heard from any other NBA team about the possibility of acquiring him or any interest in securing his future with a contract extension.
Stoudemire's agent, Charles Grantham, said he would like to hear a commitment from the Suns.
"Either he's in or out," Grantham said Sunday while in Phoenix. "You're going to have to really make a commitment to him that he's part of your program going forward and that you're going to work around him. Those decisions seemingly are still up in the air. They are going to have to be made at some point. You'll have to talk about either committing to him or trading him.
"Those discussions haven't happened yet."
Stoudemire is looking for an extension this summer.
Stoudemire commented this month to media in other cities about how well he would fit in with other teams if he was a 2010 free agent.
"It didn't come from Amaré saying, 'I don't want to be in Phoenix,' " Grantham said. "If the Suns are committed to him, he doesn't have to become an unrestricted free agent."
Get it done Wallace!
I would say unprotected 2010 pick, Lakers 2010 pick, Arthur, Richardson's expiring, Buckner's expiring and Warrick would get it done. That's allthey are looking for anyway. Future picks, caproom and young talent. They might even package Barbosa in the deal to free up more cap.

There was speculation on Sunday night that the Thunder might be preparing an offer for Paul Millsap.
Millsap is a restricted free agent, and former Jazz director of player personnel Troy Weaver is now a part of Oklahoma City's front office.
The Thunder are expected to have $11 million in cap space this summer.

I don't see no problem with the signing. I want Memphis to get either him or Lee myself because of what they bring. The thing is how muchmoney they would command. Like someone said a few days ago, you can find those type of guys in the 2nd round all the time.
There's an article talking about Memphis 3 most attractive PF's are: Randolph, Lee and Charlie V. The funny thing is that two of those guys arescorers. There's a difference between bringing in guys who can score and guys who are just ball hogs. So, I got mixed opinions about Charlie V, but I dothink Millsap or Lee would be the better fit.

I want Paul Millsap, but the Jazz will probably match his contract unless the Grizzlies front load his contract like the Hawks did with Joe Johnson a few yearsback.

There's an article on Yahoo saying Yao could be out all of next year, and maybe even done, period.

Guess that's why they were pushing so hard for Rubio (rumored to be offering Shane + Brooks)
Straight rebuilding process

I wish the Grizz would go after STAT, that would be my dream come true. We would have a legit starting 5 then.

Okay so the Bucks made offers to Sessons and a european player making them Restricited Free Agents but they are Letting Charlie V walk.
1. How do you draft YI and bench Charlie two seasons back in favor of YI?
2. You trade YI and Simmons fro RJ so you can play Charlie V at the Four where he was a beast last year.
3. You trade RJ (in a salary Dump) to make room to sign some players that are out of contracts (EX: Charlie V and Sessons)
4. You draft Jennings while also have Luke Ridnour on your roster (Underrated PG that has one year left on contract making a smooth transition for Jennings totake over at point)
5. Why do you not give Charlie V a offer to at least setup a sign and trade if need be if you can't re-sign him?
This Bucks franchise is in worse shape then my Nets.
Have fun Brandon on that team.

if your one of these teams like the warriors or Grizz you dont trade for Amare inless he accepts a long term deal, no point in trading young talent,draft picksor contracts coming off the books for a 1 year rental. all signs point to Amare wanting to join a big name next year

Looks like the Cavs will sign Charlie

Basically. I think thats why he's looking to for an extension this summer to make him more attractive to bigger markets. He know nextoff-season there will be better free agents out there, so his market value may drop. He might as well try to get as much as possible in this off-season.
[h1][/h1]
I will be very surprised if the Cavs sign Charlie for the MLE. I don't see it happening. Charlie is at the point of his career where he is about to enter his prime and should command more money.

I don't hate the Cavs; I just don't like the Cavs.
What I hate is this sense of entitlement that Cavs fans seem to have now, especially most of my boys.

^ Bosh > Amare
if he shows he is Heathly this year he is the 3rd best FA next year after bron and wade
Mike you know God damn good and well that whoever signs Amary for 100 mil is going to suck for the duration of that deal.
I know he has all the measurables you can want, but any team with him on it won't ever win anything and you know it. Even if you pair him with anothersuperstar to do the heavy lifting, all dude cares about are his fake stats. 3rd my @#$.

^CP,
...That was COMPLETELY OD, but I agree with the last line 100%
...Amare is arguably the most overrated dude in the L IMO. GreatTalent? Yes. But it ends there. Dude is extremely immature & acts/thinks like he is one of the nicest in the L when he is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from it.He has health issues, Nash makes him look 2x better than he is, etc., etc. I don't want him anywhere near the CAVS to be honest. Dude's inferioritycomplex would ruin everything.

CP1708 > Amare (you left that out)
I guess I wouldn't mind CV on the Cavs, especially considering he has a jumpshot 1,000 times better than Varejao. Still, the main knocks on him are shotselection and defense, but I think those can be tweaked in the right situation. In the graveyard that is MIL, knowing they're not going anywhere, whywouldn't he be jacking jumpers up? If nothing else it pads his stats if the shots fall. Not saying it's smart ball, it's obviously not, but with noleader on a team going nowhere, the kid isn't in the right frame of mind. Put him next to Shaq and LeBron and you think he's going to be takingbone-headed shots? To me, doubtful. And he still has time to grow as a player. Seems like it could be a good fit, and I'm obviously not saying he's THEPIECE or that he's ideal, but he COULD be a good fit.
