If LeBron James wants Amar'e Stoudemire as his wing man, he'll most likely have to choose the Knicks.
The Suns' Amar'e Stoudemire is close to signing a deal with the Knicks, Yahoo! Sports reported.Yahoo! Sports is reporting Stoudemire and the Knicks are close to a five-year, $100 million max contract and a deal could be completed as soon as today.
Stoudemire's career with the Suns came to an end earlier Friday when Phoenix agreed to a four-year, $18 million deal with Hakim Warrick.
If James won't join Stoudemire in the Big Apple, maybe Dwyane Wade will. After meeting with the Knicks for two hours and 15 minutes, Wade told the New York Daily News, "It was a real good meeting. I will say, 'I'm intrigued.'"
Chris Bosh met with the Knicks immediately after Wade.
Meanwhile another Chris, Chris Paul, continued to put pressure on the Hornets, telling The Times-Picayune, "I want to win now... I would love for us to be very active in free agency because there are some players out there."
Paul told ESPN earlier he would be open to a trade and is close with new Cavaliers coach Byron Scott.
And finally another Paul, Paul Pierce, is off the free-agent market. The Boston Herald is reporting Pierce will remain with the Celtics after agreeing to a four year, $61-million deal.
